And there is opposition to these present vaccines growing, and will reduce the number of willing passengers. -Tom
It’s going to be required to enter a movie, a concert,
soon a shopping mall, a market. Maybe even they will try to enforce it for entering a house of worship.
Maybe that’s what this faux pandemic has been all about from the start: control.
There’s lots of speculation about needing “papers please” to do a lot of things. All to bring about control of people.
I have no problem with these companies imposing even the most ludicrous requirements for their customers. Anyone who values a stupid cruise more than their own liberty can’t disappear fast enough for me.

Requiring a covid vaccination is little different than requiring any other vaccination as is required for many destination.
There are many of us who will not cruise if masks, social distancing, etc., are prerequisites. Vaccination appears to be the only alternative to those protocols.
Could a Vaccine Be Required Before Taking a Cruise?>>>>>
Yep.
I was made to take a Yellow Fever as well as a Diphtheria vaccination before they would take me to Ethiopia.
So the legal requirement is no problem.
It may be ill advised economically. Why not just quarantine for 14 days upon return?
Before you can start where I am working, you have to have a negative Covid test. This is a new policy.
I don't care about Cruise restrictions.
Flight restrictions are a different story.
There are a variety of problems with a blanket requirement:
- There is no proof how long the vaccine works.
- Children don't need it.
- The vaccine is contraindicated for many.
I worry about employers requiring the vaccination in order to retain your job.
What would Popeye do?
It’s not difficult to see where this is going. Virus fear equals further government controls. It’s strange to see conservatives surprised at each step along the way.
I think anybody that goes on a cruise without all the vaccines is just being silly. With that mass of humanity you know SOMEBODY has SOMETHING. Plus you’re visiting ports of call. I remember when it was a standard part of shipping out of country in the military to get all your shots. I’d see any cruise as the same. There are no viruses that make good souvenirs.
Already I don’t fly. (TSA)
Now I don’t cruise.
Bullet... meet foot.
Since a cruise is not EVER in my future fine by me. The last thing I intend to do
Yet another reason to avoid those floating exposure concentrating gilded cages. That people actually pay to be trapped on a big boat for days at a time makes me shake by head. Sure, they are paroled out to various restricted areas. If you get too involved ashore, you get to pay extra. Yay.
Hard pass here.
Since most modes of transportation, air, bus, train, will require a card I suspect cruise lines will as well. Which may well mean a delay in reopening. Though if still sailing at half capacity, it may not be a huge issue by spring. The cost of full capacity may well be a vaccination requirement by most countries. Likely including the US.
Could a cruise ship and a cruise ship company be required for taking a cruise?
How about PASSENGERS?
The cruise ship industry is DEAD!
Who in their right mind would take a cruise NOW!
I wouldn’t go if it were FREE! (been on six of them)
Don’t even need to read the article: Without liability protection no business is going to allow you to onboard a long distance conveyance without a test.
But requiring ID to vot is rayciss doncha know.
Right now there are temporary locations all along Sunset Blvd close to my house giving out vaccine. Long.long lines. it’s been like this for days.
I could post but don’t have an image host.. they are jammed with people night and day. I know they are requiring shots before flying....and there was massive numbers of Hispanics waiting that makes me think food service workers must get the vaccine.
I’m going to try to get the shots either at Cedars or Keck Hospitals.
