This issue could divide some families and traveling groups of friends.
This issue is another hurdle for Cruise lines to deal with in the long term, if they get the go ahead for full ship capacity.
Running ships at 60% capacity is not the problem that running them at 100% capacity will present. - Tom

What about the infected and recovered, who probably have the same antibodies as the vaccinated?
If they’re going to require something like that, why not just a stamp in your passport instead of a separate one?
they infringe.
check out blinkscience.com. they have an instantaneous test that gives results asap and override the need for any vaccine.
Count me out. I will not patronize any business that requires any information about my health. I can do without.
Let the market decide.
I’m a strong pro-vaxx person. If someone doesn’t want to get one, fine, but any private entity should be free to tell them to stay the hell away. Just as anyone should be free to stay the hell away from an entity that requires them.
I’ve got mine, my wife got hers. If someone doesn’t get it, and they die, I’m not going to shed a tear.
I’ve already lost relatives to this, so the A-holes who have minimized this from the outset, that is treating it anything short of a serious pandemic requiring the strongest response, can FOAD and I think the world will be a better place. Any “it’s just the flu” or “Mark of the Best” nutcases that drop dead will make the world a better place, but then they would say the same thing, perhaps, of my cannabis ingesting, blasphemous, masked up ass; it’s a free country.
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
As much as my wife and I love cruising, we’ll no longer cruise if covid vaccine or vaccine passport is required.
It’s the line’s choice, thus not an infringement of rights. Should it become an issue for enough travelers, some lines will be happy to find alternatives, such as a negative test. A government mandate which I could see the CDC, without authority, issuing is a major infringement. Clearly, at least for Caribbean, South and Central America and Mexico, alternative departure ports are a necessary diversification. And they’d be foolish to abandon them when the CDC relents. This is clearly a political issue, and something any international company has to consider when operating here. Obviously most important for cruise lines, where, though they generate considerable revenue for embarkation ports, with a few exceptions don’t operate within the US.

What’s the point?
Demanding proof of vaccination for citizens traveling while allowing all ad sundry to enter, without ANY oversight at the ‘boarder’??
Cruise ships are floating petri dishes with or without mandatory vaccinations. I’ll pass.
How about we see Xiden’s medical records, first?
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.
(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.)
