Per FR rules I had to chop this article down to 300 words.

To me, obviously cruising is not going to be the same as it was before all these covid regulations were implemented on cruise ships.

If I was right now, contemplating on going on a cruise I would wait until late 2021 or into 2022 or until these regulations are greatly reduced, or eliminated. And I realize some of us can't wait. -Tom

Why would anyone pay to be subjected to this harassment?

Thanks again Capt Tom!

are there separate lines for those with and those without the norovirus?

These foreign cruise lines should treat all passengers equally, else be barred from US ports and advisory issued to avoid them for discriminatory practices. As foreign-owned and flagged, they deserve no special accommodation by the US.

Capt. Tom, thanks for the updates you’ve posted throughout this ordeal. I’m waiting until second half of 2022 before I even book a cruise.

I’ve spent 103 days on cruises since I retired, all on Celebrity. It appears my cruising days are over.

You only need to cover your nose if you cough and sneeze with your nose.

My wife and I have never been on a cruise and now never will. We have more fun flying to various destinations, renting a car and go exploring. I have been salmon fishing in Lake Michigan and walleye fishing in Lake Erie. To hell with cruising in the ocean.

Been on six cruises, NEVER AGAIN!

Flown on airplanes to get there, NEVER AGAIN.

So much for rest and relaxation. Seems cruisers have other goals by going on these prison barges.

This was a glitch by the IT at Carnival today but many people received this questionnaire for all their upcoming cruises and were able to access and fill them in...
_______________________________________________

Are you, or will you be fully vaccinated with a WHO or FDA authorized COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before boarding? Fully vaccinated means you received the final dose of a vaccine series at least 14 days before embarkation

Please select

Yes
No - I am not fully vaccinated , but I have a Covid-19 Vaccination Exemption Letter
No - I am not fully vaccinated , and I do not have a Covid-19 Vaccination Exemption Letter

I understand this questionnaire may be reported to public health authorities. I attest that the answers contained herein are true and correct. I further agree that in the event I have not accurately represented my responses I may be subject to penalties listed in the passenger protocols including but not limited to cancellation without a refund.
