Catching something contagious on a cruise ship is always a possible event, be it a common cold, the flu, Norovirus, or a coronavirus such as Covid-19. Regardless of some press reports, "outbreaks" of Covid-19 are quite limited now. It would not be nice to be the one or two that get it but your odds are very small to be one of them. We've been on two cruises since November 2021. The Thanksgiving cruise was two weeks - no crew or passengers were diagnosed. The crew was tested no less than once per week and had a 100% negative outcome. The second cruise was March 2022; again, no crew members were diagnosed. One passenger was diagnosed during testing for a back-to-back cruise in and out of Tampa. The ship then had to test everyone possibly in close contact with that person and all were negative.
Is it possible to get Covid-19 during a cruise, either from the ship-board people or from someone at the ports you stop at? Sure it's possible and as I said that's a question everyone must consider, particularly if they are immunocompromised. My thought is we must start treating this virus like the flu - take precautions but don't let it ruin your life by making you hide in your personal cave the rest of your life. Let the hating begin. |

Ya, the CDC changed their guidance. Let’s go do something incredibly stupid.

That’s because several ships with 100% vaccinated passengers had outbreaks of COV!D. The CDC has lied to Americans since the beginning.

I don't know if "lie" is the correct word. Maybe "acting in good faith with information that was less then accurate" is a better fit. The problem with any bureaucracy though is that once a course is set, the bureaucracy in question has a VERY hard time deviating from it in the slightest when new or updated information is available, and the CDC is certainly no exception to that.

Cruising is a personal choice. You don't want to cruise fine, but many of us enjoy being at sea. We just came back from a 10 day south Caribbean cruise and had a great time. No issues. You have a greater risk going to Publix.

Overwhelmed? I do not think it was that great an outbreak.
