So if you're not vaccinated they require you to take a Covid test at your expense or you can't board. It's left unsaid whether meeting "the requirements" means testing negative.

And if you test positive on the ship likely disembarked for quarantine, depending on the requirements of the country you're lucky enough to be in. My guess, Florida and Texas probably have quarantine requirements as well. An uncomfortable and risky form of travel for the unvaccinated.

Right, and of course there's this too:

"Unvaccinated adult guests are required to wear a mask at all times, except while eating or drinking or in their stateroom."

I imagine this would be a showstopper for most unvaccinated people.

" An uncomfortable and risky form of travel for the unvaccinated. "

Not if you've already had it. In all seriousness, that Venn between "had it" or "got the jab" is a vastly shrinking minority.

Furthermore, there was a story just this week about a woman caught COVID-19 around Thanksgiving and didn’t show any symptoms. She then got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine in April. Now, she’s having to quarantine again after she tested positive for COVID-19.

Now what is interesting, is that you have cruise regulars who haven't cruised in nearly 2 years, and that amount of time likely permitted common cruise ship norovirii to mutate into something fresh...
