My opinion - if you know the risks of being un-vaccinated and choose to accept those risks .. get your bikini on and lets go cruising.

Now its common Knowledge that the unvaccinated are more likely to catch covid than the vaccinated,the seriousness of any virus obviously depends on the health of the individual. But lets say on a ship with 90% unvaccinated and an outbreak occurs because that 90 % for whatever reason have decided against the vaccine, what happens to the 10% vaccinateds cruise? Cut short? Loss of money for flights etc? 

CDC comes down hard again? 

Its a mask! Do i like wearing it? No!! But i look at the bigger picture! England has dropped all regulations and cases and deaths are rising ( highest numbers since January) more cases means our hospitals are overwhelmed again thus resulting in people requiring non covid ops having to wait. 

Now yes everyone has a choice get vaccinated or not but every company or government has the same choice in what they decide to do with regards wearing masks, said from day 1 whatever the rules are you follow them and if you aint happy you dont go.

Whatever study you want to through at me, common sense proves that a mask will reduce the spread of a virus, 

100 % Agree

Its NOT rocket science to understand but people are blinkered by their own agendas

Its been said 100s of times vaccinated can still catch covid 

Its been said 100s of times masks are to PREVENT the spread

Its been said 100s of times some want to sail without vaccine 

Put the 3 together its easy to see WHY face masks are required....

Imagine a ship out of Florida with 90% of the passengers unvaccinated and a guest who has been spreads covid because they dont have to wear masks. 

Wearing a mask isnt about protecting yourself its about thinking about others and having respect for everyone you may come in contact with.

All vaccines will work just fine at keeping you from getting really sick.

Cant say that! As with any medication what works for 1 may not work for another. Same with virus it may hit 1 person much worse than another. Yes most will be fine however there will be some that are not

As far as I know people going to places such as Disney, Los Vegas do not have to go through what the cruise have to.  

People going to LAS Vegas or Disney are not stuck in a confined space with 1000s of others! They can go home and isolate, admittedly they should be tested for other illnesses just for the fact they want to go to these places in the 1st place

You forgot the part about all 3000 guests being disembarked.

At no point does report say there were 3000 guests! What it does say is this.....There were 1,646 passengers and 1,249 crew members on board the ship, Dream Cruises said

Also it was a 3 day cruise, if it sailed on monday, test was positive on tuesday then by my calculations they were disembarking on wed anyway!

A danger of a zero covid strategy.

???? Did i read the same article as you? 

Testing prior to boarding ✔ 

Testing onboard ✔

Isolation of guests with negative results ✔ 

Now to me thats having a covid strategy in place and showing it works..

 her lawsuit against RC is probably being prepared right now!

Any sailing out of Florida..

Can I get a drink package? Is there a formal night? 

Only MOONshine available however for non alcohol drinkers there is a STARbucks lol 

Do i have to show proof of vaccine before i can board or have the Martians taken Virgin to court so no proof of vaccine is required?

In my view either the vaccines work or they don't work. 

In the UK we have always been told that the wearing of masks is NOT to stop you catching covid but to help prevent the spread of it.

Can’t we talk about chair hogs and proper attire????

Are the chairhogs in the vaccinated or unvaccinated area?  

Moan or Complain if someone was wearing shorts in MDR

Look down on others such as crew or Guests 

Treat crew are servants

Last thing i would never do is have a bad time

ABC islands sailing out of San Juan

BA has some great deals for flights and hotels right now.

There is very recent news that the UK government is likely to remove the quarantine requirement for fully vaccinated adults travelling from "amber" countries (which currently include the US) from 19 July.

My understanding is that this is only for Brits returning from Amber countries , could be wrong though then again things change that often ive lost track of what day it is never mind what covid lvl i live in lol.

I actually dont understand how a government can have plans in place for lockdowns for the next 5 YEARS ( yes you read that correctly) but decide its ok to go back to how it was PreCovid even though numbers are rising and Scotland has the worst Covid Rate in Europe right now 

As per 1st paragraph on link below

English government not uk! 

Rules for each country within the UK differ.

Lol I have wondered it

 

Gold

platinum

emerald??

 

I don't go buying a lot of precious stones but boy does that order seem wonky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its spot on! 

Gold least expensive Emerald the costliest.

In fact Emeralds are rarer than Diamonds so they can in some cases be more expensive.

Some of us like to hear thoughts from a crew member's perspective.  

If you are not interested in any given thread just ignore it and move on.  

Hard to ignore when almost every thread gets hijacked about it 

At least in prison you can escape the constant posts about CDC and Covid!

Finally,  a thread complaining about the CDC. I can't believe nobody has brought them up yet

Everyday is like the film groundhog day lol Bet Matt cannot wait to archive every thread relating to CDC, Vaccines or anything else Covid Related 

Thank God its not only the UK government that has said this type of thing!!!

As per link on other thread regarding international UK travel restarting in May ( this date is if everything works out as they hope it does ) yet at same time as they hope to start international travel i will only be able to have 3 households in my garden at 1 time....
