With a vacinated crew and staff and full compliance with existing CDC "orders" it's hard to see a legitimate reason for refusing. Other than prolonging the crisis, and damaging economies in Florida, Texas and Alaska.

Any company that requires their customers to take an experimental vaccine should be boycotted.

Requiring PCR tests and vaccines for everyone on board sounds like a reasonable approach to me.

Norwegian is my cruise line of choice. Some lines have realized the futility of working with the CDC and are pursuing options in other countries. Norwegian appears to taking a different approach “Suck up to the CDC”. I doubt it will work, but I hope it does.

From the article- The company, which operates the Norwegian, Regent and Oceania brands, has asked for permission to cruise starting on July 4 from U.S. ports with vessels at 60 percent capacity; all guests and crew will require to be vaccinated.

Looks to me like another shot in the foot by a cruise line that wants to restrict the number of people who will want to cruise by requiring vaccinations, and other medical protocols, if they ever get the go ahead from the CDC. -Tom
