Hospitalized?
I’m sure it’s great
Physical limitations and aversion to crowded places are kinda my problem with them. Same goes for the reason I haven’t flown for 35 years
But that’s just me
I hope your next voyage is immensely enjoyable...and mask free
I would expect the Cruise lines are not going to take your word you had covid.
If you are hospitalized for covid there will be a record for them to see. -Tom
Thanks for posting this info. We are cruisers & love the memories of all the fun we’ve had over the years.
I agree.
Keep in mind the boarding process on a cruise ship involves processing documents of thousands of passengers in 4-5 hours.
A vaccine document examination will only take a minute or 2.
To examine hospital & medical records of recovery from covid will require much longer time. That is what makes it impractical for more than 5% of passengers.
My country’s government, all three branches, disgusts me.
Well thank you and others that have said basically the same thing.
Cruising will continue, eventually, but things will be different; as they will be different in everybody's lives ashore.
I'm always on the lookout for a declared Chapter 11, bankruptcy. That doesn't mean the Cruise line would go out of business - just keep the creditors at bay while they reorganize, ,downsize, and try to get back on their feet
Sometimes the creditors don't give them that chance and force them to shut down and pay up. That has happened to about 6 smaller cruise lines.
I don't see the lines making enough money in 2021 to pay all their bills, and pay off the Billions of borrowed money. I believe they will try to borrow more money or...?? -Tom
Like anything else; if you know what you are doing; a good deal can be found. We do not live by the ocean (Utah) so sailing options here are limited. Sailing on the Great Salt Lake is not popular- for a reason
Now if we lived down in your area; totally different world view. Hope to retire and buy a nice home outside KSC and work part time there, and travel a bit. Vacationstogo.com is our poison of choice for picking cruises at steep discounts. When you consider the cost of room, food, travel and entertainment- cruises are quite a bargain
There was an article in Bloomberg recently. Royal Caribbean followed DeSantis demands and allowed unvaccinated to board. But their ability to use the facilities were limited. They were restricted to one floor of the dining room, had to sit in their own section in the theater, were forbidden to use inside pools, the casino, most of the specialty restaurants, and the disco. Their ship ID/payment card was punched to show they were not vaccinated. Hope they enjoyed the trip.
Not let them on would be my guess.
Another take on the CDC/Fla. court decision. -Tom
Not let them on would be my guess.
Another deep analysis by DoodleDawg
What do you think they'll do with them?
According to recent stories, people who have COVID and not been vaccinated who take a Royal Caribbean cruise would be banned from the casino and most specialty restaurants. They will have to wear a mask when not on deck, will be restricted to one floor in the main diningroom, one section of the theater for shows, and may or may not be allowed off the ship in ports - that is up to the country in question. The reason I know this is that the cruise line has said that is how they are handling non-vaccinated passengers. Have a nice trip.
