More Cruise Lines Update Pre-Boarding & Onboard Health Protocols in Response to Surge in Delta Variant

Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, and Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line are among the cruise lines to this week reacting to the surging Delta variant by mandating pre-cruise testing for all passengers, including those fully vaccinated.

6 passengers test positive for COVID-19 aboard Royal Caribbean cruise ship (https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/6-passengers-test-positive-for-covid-19-aboard-royal-caribbean-cruise-ship/ar-AAML3Pc?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531)

I don't enjoy cruises. So this is an unfair post from me.

Bottom line for me today is;

I wish that there were some dependable and valid statistics on how sick people are getting if they catch it and are completely vaccinated. And is this influenced by age and or other factors. I wish there was a way to validate the information and to truly understand it. Most of it is anecdotal. I don't want to worry but I do.
