Depends

I suppose it does. I generally think of infection style zombies since thats what most of the more modern movies are. Even with resurrection style though, people would see shit rising from graveyards and most of the original swarm would be extremely decomposed. They aren't fooling anyone into thinking they are just sick alive people. That version is also always incredibly slow and shambling, easily defeated by most architecture. People also really underestimate just how much corpses decay. We'd be looking at less than 1 billion corpses with the ability to rise. Probably far less. Dead people also smell REALLY bad. You aren't letting anything smelling that bad anywhere near you whether its alive or dead.

With info spread, people have have phones and social media. It takes just one person to see a rotting corpse walking around to post it on facebook or something and then everyone knows. Most boats don't have frequent deaths on board so the info would spread to them before they had to worry about it, at least for 99%. I'm just not buying it. We are talking about things that normal civilians manage to take out 1000s of each and they start with less than the global population in an era with instant information spread.
