So, bottom line, nothing has really changed. They will still be asking for proof of vaccination.
This rule is so artfully worded, I guarantee, a lot of folks are going to be confused disappointed and very angry before their cruise even begins. They may have packed up, driven down and lined up all for nothing. I feel sorry for those working the ticket counters, i.e. the front lines.
Common sense, yes. My guess the policy has passed their attorneys review. And given the size of ships, some disappointed travelers. Especially any non vaccinated passenger who tests positive. I presume they’ll be disembarked at the next port, local health partners are required in the CDC guidelines as well though most lines already have them.
