It's safe, yes. Meanwhile, hundreds of lives still depend on whether a captain and his two assistants would display flagrant disregard for safety or they'd follow the instructions for navigation when approaching a port. One'd think all that technology would prevent any shit from happening, but nope, it wouldn't. And that's the whole point.
As much as engineers work to "idiot-proof" virtually everything humans use, there is always a better idiot out there to prove that they still have a ways to go.

The captain turned off the guidance and flagrantly endangered the lives of everyone on board.
Being on a cruise ship is still extremely safe. Don't mistake flagrant disregard for safety with inherent risk.

You can't make something safe beyond the ability for an idiot to break it.
