A long article- but now, vaccines are prominently in the daily news, and the reaction to Pfizer's required 2nd dose (about a month later), seems to be causing some reactions, this will only complicate the situation.

The next few months will have plenty of vaccine pro and con news that will affect potential cruise line passengers, and the future of the cruise lines. - Tom

Its not just the cruise lines that are going to call the shots - the ports-of-call will also heavily influence the requirement. I bet New Zealand will demand all cruiseline passengers show proof of vaccination before being allowed to disembark there.

Big question: will proof of receiving the antibody cocktail within the past 4 weeks satisfy these requirements? It should be but I bet that is going to be too complex to implement.

It actually should be as good or better than a vaccination in terms of risk of virus spread.

Cruise ships aren’t coming back.

Never understood the allure of getting on one of those floating incubators.
Like living in a crowded high rise, full of every disease known to man.
Guess I’m just a country boy.

The headline makes sense, because the corporations can shuffle blame to the vaccine manufacturers and governments if an outbreak occurs.

Or if a Thalidomide style outbreak happens, and people are panicked over that.
