If you actually believe the vax works, why would you care if anyone else has it?

If your health is so precarious that a cold can kill you, why would you take a cruise that confines you to a boat with 1500 other people for a week?

How about we just quit worrying about dying and start living again?

Amen! The choice for me is easy. LIVE DAMN'T!

[QUOTE=Hardlyworking;2122084]I think it’s pretty obvious that vaccinations are not preventive judging from the numbers coming back from Alaska cruises with Covid.[/QUOTE

Vaccines are to keep you from dying not keep you from getting it. Most people have not gotten the fourth booster so the risk increases when you do not do that. Most getting it have given up masking which prevents you from getting it. There was an old woman in Walgreens the other day, sitting by the pharmacy, talking on the phone with her mask down, coughing continuously telling someone on the phone that she had covid. She was trying to figure out if she should go to a family gathering. Everyone in line was masked and upset. I finally said put your d mask on and she said into the phone someone is complaining about my mask being down and she is 20 feet away. LOL that is why it is and will continue to spread, pure ignorance. Go to your car and wait for your medication there.

Well said. Thank You!

So again on topic of onboard testing during the sailing ...
Where does one begin to look to find how many people ARE affected by mid-travel tests AND how many get quarantined ?
I totally expect that cruise critic IS censoring this type of posting. You can't find a thing online.
I did read a month ago about a couple on a European river cruise that had it bad. Not sick, but kicked off river boat mid-trip and horrible after math on land and getting home.

I know the reason for the shots. What you said just repeated what I said.

Cruise with Biden

Would you take a cruise with Joe Biden? I think he's had every big pharma shot available, and then some, and keeps getting Covid over and over again. (I think the 'science' you believe in might the 'Political Science')

Yet money hungry pharmaceutical company’s are raking in billions on misinformation. Even the so called president got the Covid after all his so called jabs. And if you think that the jab lessens the symptoms then just keep on getting your medical advise from CNN. doctors are being held hostage to hospitals and large corporations that are are in the medical business.

If you are getting medical information from Epoch news, you are missing the medical boat. That is a very unreliable source and the only place to get real medical information is from the Mayo Clinic or medical journals that do the research. The vaccines have saved thousands of lives and hospitalizations. I am sure you are board certified in infectious diseases and attended a respected medical school, if it was the University of Epoch News, you wasted your money.

There continues to be outbreaks on ships. There are others who leave the ship in foreign countries, test positive, and are put in quarantine.

Numbers of cruisers returning from cruisers and then getting Covid 19, is not known. I only know about friends who gave comedown with Covid upon returning home.

Covid after Alaskan Cruise
 
We tested positive for Covid after our Alaskan Cruise in mid-June,. Fully vaccinated and boostered. However, very minimal symptoms fortunately.

Celebrity currently still requires Covid testing on cruises 10+ days.

We got our testing done for our Alaskan Cruise at Walgreen’s. Just need to make an appt. - we got the results back in a couple hours.

"There continues to be outbreaks on ships. There are others who leave the ship in foreign countries, test positive, and are put in quarantine."

Great business opportunity -- hatedmycruise.com

There is no site I know of where you can post negative stuff on cruises. Cruise critic IS HIGHLY CENSORED.
