He needs to follow the science, no vaccine mandate, never cruise again.

If I truly were worried about all that then I wouldn’t even be doing cruising!

Wrong. Sounds like you have drank the Kool-Aid. We are still Americans and have personal choice. I’m vaccinated, but people that choose not to take it for whatever reasons should not be punished or kept from being able to do the same things I can do.

Very true and some of the islands arent as strict with distancing and safety protocols. Or even cleanliness. So, yes, get vaccinated or stay off the ship and let the rest of us finally get back to cruising.

What happens when you need your booster mid cruise? :-) "Get vaccinated or stay off the ship". Who do you think you are? Think about what you are saying before you type. NO ONE needs to get "Vaccinated". It's not mandatory and you sign any implications of the multitude of health and death risks away when you get it by your own choice. You people are straight sheep regurgitating things you hear with zero understanding of what you are talking about. I hope you have a great day by the way.

You also have a responsibility for the common good.

Violates Hippa laws, unconstitutional. Lawsuits coming. Some people (sheeple) need to quit letting the media and government drive your fears.

I'm vaccinated but every time I fly I have to wear a mask because others are not vaccinated. If I'm on a cruise ship and an outbreak occurs among the unvaccinated we will not be allowed to embark at some ports. When we return there will undoubtedly be some type of quarantine. The CDC is now requiring that cruises sail from US ports do so with crew and almost all passengers be vaccinated. Sometime between now and sailing there will have to be some resolution of the conflict between the CDC and Fla. law.

Cruising is a situation where people getting deathly sick affects everyone on board. I'm not a fan of vaccine passports, but for this scene where a cruise has to be derailed to get sick passengers off, it may warrant vaccination proof.

Will your lawsuit include seat belts, drivers license,
Passports, vaccinations required to enter certain countries (ie: Yellow Fever), school required vaccinations. And all other government laws for good of all over
Individual rights?

CDC has already come out and said that masks aren’t required on cruises in their most recent ever changing guidelines, so that was good news.

Agree! This is no different than people going to MCO that are traveling to a place that requires proof of vaccinations where you have to show that you have been vaccinated, just like showing a passport to fly out of the country. No airlines have refused to fly out of Orlando that require vaccinations based on passenger destinations, and cruising is no different as there are definitely going to be places that the ships are going to that require vaccinations. Looking forward to cruising and going to Europe again! 😊

Default Vaccine misinformation.

Good morning. Gotta post this. According to the CDC and the VAIRS reporting system there have been over 12000 FULLY vaccinated individuals that have contracted covid and some have died. Many of you think this so called vaccine is bulletproof. What is the covid survival rate?
There will be covid cases on these ships. All you need is one and the whole cruise industry will shut down. Why? Fear and misinformation.

I never needed to be vaccinated to go on a cruise before, so why start now?
I’m ready to cruise today. No worries whatsoever.
