Some of those spring, 2020 cruises a few ships had people stuck in there, quarantined for weeks with contagious Covid victims like at a Cuomo nursing home. Some fun.

Looks like these folks will just have to settle for staying home and cooking and cleaning ping.

Open declaration, considering all data to date, concessions by Walensky and the fact that all adults on cruise ships must get jabbed:

Any FReeper who continues to use the word “vaccine” without quotes referencing these jabs is a dumbass, a troll, or both.

Expect to see more of this maneuvering as the virus affects the other cruise lines. -Tom

Royal Caribbean International has decided to voluntarily [emphasis mine] pause new bookings for all cruises departing through mid-January 2022.

...note the word "voluntarily" suspiciously appears in the statement from Royal Caribbean International. That's bull - the real issue is that too many people canceled on trips that were already well under break-even numbers. Royal Caribbean blames it on O M M O I R C O R N O I N C , will write off the loss, and will re-book passengers on later, fuller cruises.

How does Royal Caribbean know that O M M O I R C O R N O I N C will no longer be an issue in mid-January?

Being quarantined for a fake test isn’t enjoyable in my book

Of course, they don't know that, and this is just another year and a half of putting off the recovery.

The cruise lines have to placate the creditors who they owe Billions of dollars too, and they have to keep up a positive profile for their customers.

If you noticed in this article, CRUISE HIVE have reported the facts, and left out the rah rah lets go cruising talk they normally end an article with.-Tom

They lie, their ships are no where near capacity since they implemented the vax requirements. This needs pause simply hides the fact that many are not sailing.

I tend to agree with you.

The cruise lines have a big problem with their changes in omicron protocols. They are also bringing in more ships to what I believe is a declining market. Not to mention the new ships on order. Something has to give since they are in debt Billions of dollars.

CARNIVAL, with a 30 billion dollar debt, has at least tried to cut back on their expenses by getting rid of 19 cruise ships.

I don't know what the other big 3 cruise lines, ROYAL CARIBBEAN and NORWEGIAN are thinking. -Tom

I have zero tolerance for jab mandates, jabs, masks, tests.

Just say no!

I hope my 2 booked cruises on Carnival, one at end of January and another at beginning of February do not get cancelled. We have 2 cabins on each cruise with family members joining in.

I would just follow the advice given in the thread.-Tom

"Booked passengers should stay in close contact with their travel agent or cruise line and keep alert to any changes that may impact their vacation plans, and stay tuned to Cruise Hive for further updates as they become available."

La Lido Loca

A few months ago, he was gloating over the fact the unjabbed would not be cruising .. he was nasty ...

There was no need for his attitude ...
