This willbe the first of many anti cruise articles we will be seeing later today and next week as the cruise Ines return to Florida TODAY.

The press will be there Today, to interview the passengers and come out with some more horror stories. Stay tuned.-Tom

The sheeple thought if they obeyed all the rules and got their vaxxes and their Covid tests, all would be well.

They now have learned that lesson the hard way.

Never obey.

Never submit.

They will never stop if you do.

Travelling is a risky proposition these days.

“... As an unvaccinated deplorable...” Not to mention selfish and not as smart as brandon thought you were and you want folks grandparents to die. You unpatriotic leper you. Oh, we are in the club as well. :-}

I only go on cruises for reading books, walking the desks and having good food and drink. I rarely venture into the ports

[SaxxonWoods]

I never understood the attraction of being a ship with 4,000 people anyway. The Norovirus stories sounded worse than the COVID.

” “Now on an 8-day cruise we will have only gone to one place on a delayed schedule.”

Reporter should get her facts straight.

We had an Alaskan cruise booked for last May for our 25th anniversary. Canceled because of Covid hysteria. The cruise line gave us the option of a refund or future cruise credit. We took the refund. There’s no telling how long it will be before we want to step foot on a cruise ship again because we refuse to get the “vax.” Who knows if we’d end up trapped on a ship like these people, all because of this nonsense.

LOL! “Suddenly we realized we had been played for fools and had wasted our money. Are we ever mad!”

This Forum has a Chronic Cruiser who could be bought off with a front-row table at an Ethel Merman mock-up and a bag of pork rinds.

“People have spent thousands of dollars on this cruise and picked this cruise for the ports,” she tweeted “Now on an 8-day cruise we will have only gone to one place on a delayed schedule.

It figures she'd be on Twitter. Did anyone tweet back to the moron, explaining how idiotic it is to book a vacation on a floating petri-dish in this obvious era of unpredictable shutdowns and restrictions?

[Leaning Right]

It would seem to me that a Covid outbreak is an implied risk when taking a cruise these days. Sort of like deciding to take a cruise during hurricane season. It’s the passenger’s choice to roll the dice.

I wonder if the cruise line was smart enough to insert a clause like that in the contract.

MY TOSSING RABBITS INTO BACKYARDS ANALOGY

If I breathe in a Covid particle, I will get infected again, even if vaccinated, and will almost always test positive.

Breathing in Covid into one’s body is like throwing rabbits into fenced backyards.

Each rabbit is going to run around each backyard for awhile. Each test for a rabbit in each backyard into which one is tossed will be positive.

But in the backyards with 50 rabbit catchers each, a rabbit won’t be running around for very long or be able to nibble at many carrots in the garden.

The vaccines basically put ‘rabbit catchers’ in one’s body ahead of actual infection.

[Brian Griffin]

People should get the port tax back from each port they were not allowed into hopefully.

[skr]

I fail to see how a cruise line can guarantee anything when it comes to viruses, aside from sanitizing the ships. They still housed and fed the passengers, even without all the port stops. If a port blew up or a revolution took over a country, do they still expect a refund?

[gathersnomoss]

See the USA in a motorhome.

[Tennessee Nana]

I should have been on this ship for my birthday 2 weeks ago but carnival cancelled my booking and refunded me my money against my wishes because I couldnt say I was jabbed ...

You have to be jabbed so tell me how did these fully jabbed passengers get the Wu Hu Flu if there were no ‘unvaccinated’ aboard ???

I’m hoping the Omicron PANIC subsides by the time of our Jan. 21 cruise.

I was reading the Royal Caribbean forum on Cruise Critic last night. Some interesting factoids:

• Royal is stopping providing on-board testing for people with international flight requirements beginning in January. This way, if Royal doesn't know their status then they won't be responsible for providing alternatives. Plus, it will no longer be a ship recordable case. People will now have to plan extra time to make their own post-cruise testing arrangements at their own cost.
• Symphony of the Seas had a COVID case that exposed an entertainer. Consequently, the entire entertainment staff was quarantined during the last cruise. The passengers weren't happy, because all the shows and bands were canceled, leaving the ship with no entertainment.
• Odyssey of the Seas was denied docking in Curacao, and therefore could not replenish. The ship was low on alcohol and ran out of mixers.

Royal Caribbean said all passengers were required to be vaccinated and have negative COVID-19 tests. Those who tested positive were quarantined; their close contacts were also quarantined and monitored for 24 hours prior to testing.

A Canadian passenger's account of testing positive and quarantining on the December 18 sailing of the Symphony of the Seas out of Miami: So I tested positive for covid on Symphony.
