“>>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.<<
Ironically, if this goes into effect cruises will be the only place where you can safely go to a buffet, shake someone’s hand, hug a new friend and do all the other personal human interactions we took for granted pre-2020.
I say ironically b/c we all remember cruises were the scariest places to be when the COVID hit.”
I plan on getting the vaccine and going on a cruise. Poster freedumb has hit on something, cruises could go from the worst place to be to the safest.
Since the Cruise lines have so many enemies, like politicians ,medical officials, and the press, remember vaccines are only 90-95% effective.
That means statistically that hundreds of vaccinated cruisers are not protected on a big cruise ship, and if covid strikes ,we know what the overreactions will be.-Tom
