Took one cruise. Thankfully it only lasted 7 days. I'm not the cruise type, and these days, my traveling days are over. The farthest I go is Indiana, to visit my youngest son, and I drive there from NY State. I have friends who have traveled all over the world. They both got their vaccines just so they could still travel. I haven't talked to them though since they had them.

One of their sons worked with a guy who was exhibiting symptoms of the Kung Flu. Both men had three tests over a period of about three weeks. First two tests were negative. The last test was positive, but the results took so long that by the time her son got his results back, the doctor said he was already over the contagious stage. My friends and their three sons, and their families all vacation for a week together each year. The doctor told the son he was okay to go last summer with the rest of the family. Nobody else got the virus, not even his wife and daughter during the time he was supposed to have been contagious.

One of the main reasons I refuse to take the vaccine is that they don't even have an accurate test.

So if science is good, and the vaccines are effective, why do vaccinated people still have to wear a mask, and social distance?

If I don't need a "vaccine passport" to get on a plane, commuter train or traverse the highways, I damn' sure don't need one to go on a cruise.

(And I say that as someone who flew, got on commuter trains and traversed our interstate highways in various states these past 14 months without being vaccinated and never got sick even though I'm immune system compromised.)

Any “it’s just the flu” or “Mark of the Best” nutcases that drop dead will make the world a better place

You are in good company. Every leftist I know thinks the same way as you and wants to hasten this idea. That’s why we are quietly preparing for you. God bless and Jesus loves you!

“Science is always good; people without advanced degrees, post graduate study and academic publishing in the specific field = utterly irrelevant if not dangerous in matters of medicine. YMMV”

Sammy.... is that you? It’s painfully obvious to those with two functioning brain cells that “the science” being crammed into various orifices is pure unadulterated BS.

Please explain the numerous deaths and/or lifelong health issues being experienced by many that have vaxxed up due to “the science”.

With vaccination, there is written proof easy to read for the cruise ship entry, with date of vaccination. And that passenger/crew has anti-bodies currently.

With pervious recovery, there is no paper record of how many anti-bodies you still have and the ship can’t wait to sail until that issue is processed and determined. It takes time to make a anti-body test and get results.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 150 MILLION vaccinated and less than 150 deaths, PERHAPS? Can you figure the percentage? Did you take college level courses in statistics to understand how good the vaccine results are?

Please let me know where you got your PhD and did your graduate study, then I *might* take you opinion as anything other than BS

Science said Thalidomide was safe, effective, and good for everyone too.

title:" Vaccine Passports: Infringement of Rights or Key to Cruising’s Future? "

Vaccine Passports : it is Capitalism gone 'woke'.
Businesses doing what the government won't, or can't do;
passports are just another form of surveillance, regardless of the justification.

It would be convenient, particularly if only for covid vaccine.

Viking Cruises will not allow any passengers under 18 to be onboard for a Cruise. Is that an infringement of rights ?

And then there's Richard Branson's Virgin who will probably take delivery of their third ship before the first two board a passenger. Talk about timing. Having canceled their July debut from Miami I've heard they're considering other Caribbean embarkation ports. Our government, essentially banning cruises, closing coal mines and telling miners to make solar panels, and shutting down gas production. Joe hasn't said what those employees will do, probably make windmills.

Comrade, posts like that won't reflect well on your future social score.

"Comrade, posts like that won't reflect well on your future social score."

You'll notice I haven't gotten a response from that person either. And as far as my future social score goes, I'll be 74 in August. No one in my family lived to be 75, so damn the social score. I won't need it when I'm dead.

Yep.... sure can and did. Do you have any idea of the long term repercussions for an emergency use vaccine on various people? Yeah.... didn’t think so. Get it FDA approved and I might consider it’s efficacy.

Could care less whether you take my OPINION as BS or not. Only know what I read from multiple sources as well as figure out about this ScamDemic.
