My kayak is still stored on the blocks
Hannibal Lecter-type masks, no ‘community troughs’ of food to graze in, full-body bubble wrap and free vaccinations every hour on the hour? ;)
Yeah, I’m not a ‘cruiser.’ ;)
Thought about taking some cruises in retirement. But then became allergic to so many foods in my later life I figured why torture myself looking at those great spreads I can’t eat.
Diamond Princess cruise ship . China virus… 3,711 passengers and crew were quarantined together in tight quarters with the virus present for a month..
The fatality rate was 0.35% (13 people died)… a largely elderly population likely with many pre-existing health issues..

Objectivity lost.
Sing-alongs at the piano bar are probably still out, eh?
Alaska out of SF in 2022 or Bust!!!
I have no desire to go to Seattle.
Open up Canada, Trudeau!
OK heres were we are with Carnival...
For my Aug 14 cruise on the new 6,000 plus passenger Mardi Gras that has limited passenger capacity currently (Probably 30% only) we are waiting still...
The EMails on Thursday and Friday told us we would know by this week...
The final payment date had been moved from May 16 to June 14 and on Friday to net Monday June 21...
That date is also the last date we can cancel with zero penalties...
The passengers on the July cruises got EMails with a link to an application for exemption for the required 5% of unvaccinated (children under 12 and others) After all passengers have paid they will determine how many make up that 5% and pick them from the applicants...
The Aug cruises are expected to receive the same chance to be part of the 5% for their individual sailing...
However Carnival is still waiting on the CDC and the court case results...
If the final payment date is moved again this week or a decision or EMail occurs I will let you know...
I know at least 2 of the items on the list of reasons for exemption....religion, physical concerns etc...
I’ll choose both and anything else that applies to me...
Hopefully one will say...No confidence in the vaccine...or something like that...
Meanwhile in Florida starting July 1 it will be against the law to ask for a vaccine passport...
The Carnival ships dont sail from there until after that date...
Popcorn time....
The MG was absent from the Carnival website for July, Aug Sept but this week the cruises are back and theres lots of cabins...
For Aug the itinerary is changed...no longer going to Grand Turk but to Nassau UG....
Lots of families are cancelling...
Well what did Carnival really expect5 ???
