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.
For sure there will be complications now that the health officials and politicians in each country are getting involved and are getting to call the shots.
Just recently a cruise ship was going to leave Italy for the Caribbean, spending about two weeks at sea, and then staying on a private Island in the Caribbean, for about a week, and then reburning to Italy.
That cruise was cancelled by the Italian Govt.
The new Mardi Gras has cancelled its cruise and moved it back a month.
Lots of problems for cruise lines to overcome.
In hind sight it probably would have been better for some of the cruise lines to reorganize 6 mos to a year ago, save the billions they have spent to stay relevant, and come back with a smaller number of cruise ships.
But who could imagine this flu virus would shut them down and us for a year?-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.
Unless you are micro chipped which will stop fraudsters from duplicating
documentation. Plus the cruise ship will know where you’re at if you’re late returning to the ship.
