As the omicron variant of the coronavirus continues to surge onboard cruise ships, forcing several cruise lines to cancel and postpone voyages, Atlantis Events, a gay and lesbian tour operator, is preparing to launch one of its biggest events Sunday: a 4,700-person Caribbean cruise marking the company’s 30th anniversary.
Even as the pandemic is raging around the world and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a stark warning telling Americans to avoid travel on cruise ships, regardless of their vaccination status, Atlantis insists that its vaccination mandate, testing requirements and health protocols are enough to provide a safe environment for guests throughout the voyage. Many passengers are convinced.
“It’s time to start living our lives again, and vaccines and tests allow us to do that. This isn’t COVID 2020,” said Andre Mayer, a graphic designer from Germany who paid more than $4,000 for the weeklong cruise on board Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas. “This is going to be the wildest party for our community in two years. I’m talking dirty dancing, sex, drugs, raves, orgies and sweet, sweet freedom.”
For the hundreds of cruise passengers who contracted the coronavirus on board other ships in recent weeks, many falling ill and spending days in quarantine, their experience couldn’t have been further from the carefree vacation that Mayer anticipates.
For some booked on the anniversary cruise and other Atlantis events, these reports and the omicron wave of the virus are causing them to reconsider their plans.
“The COVID reality changes so quickly that there needs to be more flexibility,” said Aiden Morgan, a 44-year-old dance teacher from Boston. Morgan sold his ticket for the Atlantis Tropical Americas Cruise later this month on Facebook but was only offered $1,480 for his $3,800 ticket.

Once again the NYT writing a headline for the Babylon Bee.
“””Cleaning the pools and hot tubs will be a major operation.”””
I also have empathy for the crew in the laundry room who have to wash the bed sheets.
Never understood self segregation.
Would anyone be comfortable taking this ship in the following cruise?
““Personally I don’t care what you do in private”
You aren’t Christian? Don’t care they offend God?”
Agree - that was the loophole the Left used to take over our society. To keep a society from collapsing, its members MUST care what is done in private, because its effects ALWAYS spill out in public. In this case, it’s gays (and teachers) recruiting innocent kids to become gays, for example. They had to get out of the closet first, before they could take over our classrooms.
-—keep —people safe? Well knowing where they are will certainly keep me safe. And they’ve created another kraphole place I don’t have to go to. The WINS just keep on coming!
In the butt.
If Andre Mayer has his way it is going to be a wild time cruise. Read the excerpted part of the article below. -Tom

You are so wrong. Only the MEN on our.....I mean *their* cruise will look fabulous.
God will take care of his creatures accordingly.
I need to make sure I don’t offend our God.
That is a full time job.
And they’re worried about covid? 🤔
I have to laugh, just this morning I see some Carnival Lines (the disease ships) pulling into our bay. First cruise ship in a couple years.
Never heard anyone say they missed the damn things.
You can always count on someone in FR who immediately puts a litmus test on people, you don’t agree with me, you must not be a Christian as if you are the one to decide.
You have no idea who I am or what god I believe in, the god I worship doesn’t condemn people or accuse them of being non-believers.
“If you can find 50 righteous people on that ship I will spare it”.
Not if they all sit down and keep their mouths shut

It's impossible to be a homo with your mouth shut and sitting down.
Think about it.
Not a “social” disease expert but I would think that COVID would be the least dangerous disease they are going to expose themselves to.
the poor hard working normal kids 20’s somethings have to witnees the vileness of it all that week.
