It makes no difference to me if the others on the boat are vaccinated or not. I took care of me, which is the only thing I have a right to do!
If I truly were worried about all that then I wouldn’t even be doing cruising!
I'm vaccinated but every time I fly I have to wear a mask because others are not vaccinated. If I'm on a cruise ship and an outbreak occurs among the unvaccinated we will not be allowed to embark at some ports. When we return there will undoubtedly be some type of quarantine. The CDC is now requiring that cruises sail from US ports do so with crew and almost all passengers be vaccinated. Sometime between now and sailing there will have to be some resolution of the conflict between the CDC and Fla. law.
