The choice for USA cruises will be vaccination or CV19 protocols such as masking, social distancing, reduced capacity, etc,. I’m thinking the cruise line will realize that there are fewer objections to vaccination than wearing a mask. Wife and I have been on eight cruises. We will not go on another if we’re required to wear a mask.

I think you’re right. However, I wouldn’t do either. MAYBE the vaccine after they’ve been around a couple years, and are tried and true.

DH and I have been on many — 12, I think — and we love cruising. We would not consider cruising if masks are required.
