I wonder if there are signs on the lifeboats that say: For vaccinated passengers only. -Tom

[Don Corleone]

Who needs to pay hundreds of dollars a day to be treated like a leper?

[redshawk]

Seems that we saw this in the 50’s.
History repeats.

[dandiegirl]

Exactly. Will they have people stationed all over the ship to check one’s status? How will they possibly enforce this insanity? Vaccinated are supposedly safe from the unvaccinated so why are they worried?

[V_TWIN]

Agreed...how is this not discrimination?

Someone needs to file a lawsuit.

[ilgipper]

Was considering a cruise with then but they can go F themselves.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

They certainly can do without our money.

[bigbob]

I was expecting they’d put the unvaxxed in a dingy and troll them along behind

I knew it would get to the point again where we’d have to sport a yellow ‘Start of David’ on our clothing to distinguish us as the unclean, but I didn’t think it would start with the cruise industry!

Looks like a business decision has been made, to the detriment of the un-vaccinated.

When the Govt. (CDC) gets involved, you are going to have casualties. -Tom

Time for a new cruise line to offer open cruises where people can decide if they want to mingle or not. Karens can just stay home if they choose.

[Jeff Chandler]

I think of a cruise ship as a floating Motel 6 with an all night Dennys.

The comment I heard one MD make recently:

So you ARE vaccinated, but I have to be vaccinated for YOUR vaccination to work??

[tennmountainman]

Just don’t cruise.

[V_TWIN]

“How will they possibly enforce this insanity?”

Unfortunately that’s done easy enough. The vaccinated get a special bracelet, card or there is info loaded on your ships card that stated you are vaxed which gives privledges and access the unvaxed won’t have.

Having said all that, we’ve always cruised on Princess ships...and I have nothing negative to say about them.

[Zathras]

Keep with the updates, Tom!
Thanks

“Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas “

Interesting boat name for such a travesty. The “unvaccinated” needs to sue them to put a stop to this. This is still against the Fla law as demanding a vaccine passport.

[JayGalt]

They will have wristbands. They already have that technology.

I’m guessing by your comment you’ve never been on a cruise.

With all due respect my friend....your WAY off.
