Now now...I just heard on the radio...
Theres 44 Mil Americans have had at least the first shot 20 Mil have had both...and because of that the deaths have come way down...well at the nursing homes anyway...
See ??? get the shots and nobody dies...sounds like something a Chicago gangster would say...
I am at age 80. Took the 1st shot of vaccine 3 weeks ago. Next shot on March 4th. Feeling as energetic as always. Zero side effects except normal soreness at injection site for 1 or 2 days. Already resumed my weight lifting routine 2 weeks ago. I am very anxious to go on 30-40 more cruises, having already done 36 so far all over the world.
Some time in the next few months, this stock looks like it’ll be a good lowball buy opportunity.
I did not even need the vaccine. I am an exercise fanatic, doing daily treadmill and weight lifting machines at a private community gym. There is no way the virus can overpower my well oxygenated lungs.
My wife has stage-4 cancer diagnosed 3 years ago. Her cancer doctor told her to get vaccine, and she wanted me to take the vaccine so there is less chance of me passing on the virus to her. We both did a Carnival cruise end of February 2020. It was fully sold out and crowded. We probably got infected and had very mild symptoms. Probably acquired some form of immunity. Since then I have been to at least 300 public places with lots of people. No symptoms at all. Wife is afraid to step out of the house. And I don’t blame her. She is very weak. I am ready to join a ballet dance class.
A bit of gallows humor to think of a vaccinated only cruise being hit with Norovirus.
“I’m sorry that the industry is suffering, but complying with vaccine mandates is not the answer. I hope the industry stands strong and pushes back, because this is over blown & ridiculous.”

“My family has a cruise planned for May - it had already been postponed from last year.”

I still have my fingers crossed for our Jan. 2022 Celebrity cruise.
We’re on an American River Cruise, a much smaller company.
Will keep an eye out, however.
You seem to take delight at the loss of livelihood for hundreds of thousands of Americans. Fortunately you are wrong. Every cruise line is seeing a very high booking rate despite the circumstances. The lines just have to find a way around the power mad government agency’s.
Norwegian pulled the plug on May last week.
Also 2nd time cancelled, pushed it to June 2021
Boston had about 80 trips scheduled on different cruise lines in 2021 .
If Canada stays closed only a handfull will go, and those will be Bermuda trips, weather permitting.
You can see that is a problem for the cruise lines to figure out. If you can't get to and back from Bermuda because of bad weather, you cant really go further south to the Bahamas; and legally you need a foreign port in the trip. -Tom
Yeah we were one click away from booking a color trip from Boston in October but then the idiots in Ottawa pulled the plug for the entire year.
