A quote from the article-“The deciding factor for the companies may be if a cruise brand will gain more customers by requiring a vaccine than they will lose by not requiring it. In that case, it becomes a marketing issue,” Scholes wrote."
Tom here- The big 3 cruise lines CARNIVAL-ROYAL -NORWEGIAN, have to be careful that our CDC doesn't spring this passenger vaccination requirement on them as another delay tactic, when the ships are ready to cruise from this country, -Tom
I’ ve never been on a cruise, and now I never will.
My body, my business. Or whatever lib chicks babble.
Do what if you aren’t able to get a vaccine? Do they refund your $$? They should.
U vil take ze vaccine.
Or, u vil be shot.
It only makes sense from a business perspective.
Tom, we are looking at a Carnival Liberty ship cruise in August. What are the chances it will sail? Both me and wife have received the vaccines and have papers to prove it.
Maybe that will actually GET me a vaccination?
It took 4 tries on the Dallas County vaccination web site to even get an acknowledgement. I am sure I will be dead from natural causes before I actually *get* the shot.
And both my wife and me are supposed high priority: older with some health issues (although the issues are controlled).
Slow death is a horrible thing to watch.
Considering the drones that go on cruises, they’ll comply.
Cruises aren’t coming back this year. Next year isn’t looking good either.
What about the “vaccine” against the variant or mutant strains? False positive CoVid tests?
They won’t be able to isolate cruisers from locals in port.
I think cruising is basically done. Those that want to travel will have their own itinerary as long as that’s still possible.
Never understood the joy of being on a floating petri dish. I’ll stay ashore.

Every cruse ship build in the last 50 years is now functionally obsolete. Even prior to this Wuhan-SARS pandemic, the simple Norovirus was regularly creating plague ships as the entire crew and passengers succumbed to terrible gut pain and explosive vomiting and diarrhea. Although the business model was extraordinarily profitable for many decades, times have changed and they need to fully redesign their mode of operation to remain financially viable.
