Had to reread this to see if i had missed something but its not on this link...other reports clearly state these cruises do not dock anywhere, they are just sailing about the coast of Britain trying to keep warm and dry lol

Yet nicola was able to quarantine anyone and everyone from anywhere in the world despite uk government saying it was only 33 countries? Which is how the Brazilian strain entered Scotland. 4 offshore workers flying from brazil to Scotland knew they would have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days so they flew to paris as france isnt on englands list from there they flew to london then up to Scotland avoiding the need to quarantine.

Going by previous lockdown measures put in place by scottish government cross border movement was banned. Even when boris came up to visit nicola tried to stop it

Hope they've discussed this with Nicola before releasing it to the press! Its ok saying we are going to cruise around the UK but its 4 separate countries with their own governments and their own covid rules. If Nicola doesnt want it then it wont happen.

Stay at home lol ?

Oh great...heres me diagnosed with a dodgy ticker and told to lose some weight and your just teasing me with pics of delicious cookies ?? ????

Even Stevie Wonder can see thats not whats said!! But hey its COMPLETELY irrelevant because whatever RC or the CDC decide we just got to suck it up and get on with it, and if we are not happy then we can hide our frown behind our masks ?

This is who i use and i use the Revolut card for payments in $$$$ with no fees

BA has announced it will trial vaccine passports for anyone flying ( i think Qatar and possibly Quantas have are also implementing this) Other airline companies will follow same route

The amount of cruises you have booked it would have bankrupt them! ?

Not sure TBH, easier to use TA located in US so you get the best deal

Fingers crossed ? we could all do with some good news and something to look forward to.

No death penalty would not apply for giving that away! However it would apply for purchasing it in the 1st place ???

Could be they are getting married, pregnant or both lol

? Pretty sure anyone found to be doing this in Scotland faces the death penalty ?

Yes indoors! Not outdoors! Now do they mean indoors as in someone's house? Pretty sure they dont mean a cruiseship as further down they say to AVOID medium or large gatherings! And the last part to Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations which includes from same report Take precautions in public like wearing a well-fitted mask and physical distancing So outside on a cruiseship is not indoors so wear a mask ?

5 posts that in all honesty are completely meaningless!!! As i said no amount of debating on here is going to change whats happening. Cruiselines have the right to do as they wish and we either accept it or stay at home. With regards CDC quote if you want to follow it word for word then you dont have to wear a mask or social distance INDOORS....... so in MDR fill your boots but as soon as you go to pool deck put on a bloody mask and and keep away from others as its INDOORS only for no mask

Your choice ? just as its cruiselines choice to implement these measures ? it really is that simple! And right now no amount of debating will change it, it is how it is just got to either get on with it or stay at home

Think there has only been 1 death and 4 or 5 cases, as you say no link just a country taking measures to ensure its safe and other countries have followed. i read about the 1 batch that may have an issue, this batch can now be purchased online from Lucky lenny's online market catering for all your needs lol

The new itineraries depart beginning July 3 through the end of October 2021, for a total of 32 “Bahamas Escapes” voyages sailing roundtrip from Nassau on Saturdays and from Bimini on Sundays. The cruises will be available for booking beginning March 18. Under Crystal’s “Clean + 4.0” protocols, passengers are required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination prior to their voyage and proof of a negative COVID-19 test prior to boarding, and mask-wearing, contactless dining and regular health monitoring of guests will take place while onboard Crystal Serenity.

Did you say a short read?

Indonesia has already given the green light for private companies to purchase vaccine and distribute it to employees ( saves the government money) however even with permission getting their hands on it could be an issue. Philippines has started its own roll out of the vaccine ! Hospital staff and government officials first Guess its up to each individual country to set their own guidlines.

Thing is when you actually think about it logically it makes sense to lock italy down of easter weekend!

Norway has reported cases of blood clotting in a small number of individuals who have received the AZ vaccine, because of this some countries have suspended the use of the vaccine until an investigation can be done to see if the vaccine is the root cause of the clotting or if there are other issues which should be taken into account. Ireland has also suspended the use of AZ

Guess the only people who can answer this is the cruiselines themselves everything else is just guess work and outwith any of our control
