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 and I feel very assured that I have complete protection from Covid and I do not worry at all about being among un-vaccinated people. Chances of me contracting the virus are so small I do not worry at all about it.

What I do worry about, however, is that if vaccine proof is prohibited, there may be a Covid outbreak among un-vaccinated people on my cruise and my cruise vacation is interrupted, ports missed, unable to disembark depending on the percentage of positive cases on board and so forth. There are so many ways a cruise can be negatively impacted.. Another way of negative impact is if un-vaccinated people are on board, safety precautions must be implemented such as masking, distancing and so forth. The only way to have a much better chance of no interruption to the cruise and to experience a cruise like pre-Covid, is to have all persons on board fully vaccinated.
