Guess what, you don't like it? Don't go. They will be FULL.
If you got the vax, stop telling me to get one. If you believe in it and you got it, it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS who else got it. On the other hand, if you don't really believe in it, and got it, keep clutching your pearls.

Yes, shut THAT front door! The DELTA variant may be knocking. Somebody is beating their chest and GLOATING. I am AFRAID that the anti-vaxxers in Florida and the US have SUCCEEDED in their UNPATRIOTIC quest to prevent 70% or more of the US from being vaccinated. Congratulation to MALES and EVANGELICALS for insuring that the VIRUS will win and will continue to REPLICATE AND MUTATE. Just put it out of your minds as CV DEATHS continue for the unvaccinated and especially for young people with their WHOLE lives ahead of them. So what if young people die as long as old people ( nearing death) are able to sit inside a Cruise Liner and waste their money ordering food and expensive wines (live not-so-very-long and pretend to prosper). As far as the next Cruise goes - just hope that an outbreak does not occur and you are stuck without a country that will let you in. And beware the new DELTA variant that is especially INFECTING CHILDREN. Don't kiss those grandkids anymore before you leave!

On a cruse, be sure you insurance covers shuttling you off the ship. It is expensive to say the least. The insurance company may have somewhere in the policy no shot we will not pay.

With freedom of choice comes accepting responsibility for the choices you make. As it is said freedom is not free.

These posts on any subject.
How many have you seen where someone says HUM I didn't see that and now realize I was wrong?
For that matter, you do not need any credentials to post.
As far as vaccines or any drug for that matter there are side effects. Issues with the covid 19 vaccine and effectiveness have been far better than normal. Aspirin? It is likely that you could not sell it or bring it to market today.

I have two cruises booked on other cruise lines. I will not be booking one on Royal Caribbean. In general, I'm against vaccine passports, but cruising is an exception. You are pretty much trapped with other passengers for days and weeks. I will not cruise with unvaccinated passengers.

You didn't refute a thing I stated. I never mentioned mentioned "lower income areas"...

And could you please cite which "rich and powerful supporters" went to the front of the line?

I mean, it's a good thing a certain NY Governor didn't do that with his "rich and powerful" brother, who covered his ass on a national cable news show...

Wait, what? Oh right... Never mind...

The person that posted about going to Alaska several times on a cruise please comment again. I lost the post and would like to get advice on Alaska

What proof? A piece of cardboard with some numbers scribbled on it?

Neither deserves strong marks!

Has nothing to do with what I stated...

And the numbers you posted? Pretty much in line with the national average...

"More than 138.9 million Americans have been fully vaccinated – 41.9% of the population, according to the CDC." (as of 2 days ago)

Don't forget the donuts!

Ports where you know that everyone has been vaccinated?
