Yes, but only if they did not require me to be tracked and traced everywhere I went on the ship.  If they did not require any mask mandates.  If they did not require a virus test (which is proven to be false - positive).  If they did not require a vaccine.

Kind of like pre-mid-March 2020 when we were allowed to roam free on the ship with just our sea pass card, no mask, no testing, no vaccine.

The good ole' days.

You from Florida? Based on everything I know about Florida and how they've treated the pandemic, this screams Floridian, with a 1% chance of South Dakota. Hope you didn't send this from a smart phone 

What?

Y'all get way too defensive about cruising

I thought the cdc was not allowing employees to act as volunteers because of the employment tie.  It's kinda hard to be a volunteer when you are volunteering for whomever writes your paycheck. 

 

 

All the "pick me" people are a pain but I think the cdc will have the final ruling on that decision. 

Royals first prerequisite was reading comprehension, so all these people failed

Don't forget to post your credit card info along with your address, pets name, and street you grew up on so you can be added to the OFFICIAL wait list!

So do existing bookings get upgraded? Couldn't really tell from that article

Not sure what channels you have down there..we only have MSNBC, FOX, NBC, CBS, CNN, HLN, ABC, CBC, CTV....and I haven't seen those diagrams on the screens on any of them that count the cases and deaths like they were before....but I can only speak of what I see on my tv, not yours. 

 

The four seasons yard care...nothing to do with Covid or cruising so I wont even go there,  that's just a political dig at Trump...

I have every channel, including all local channels because I jailbroke my firestick. I live in Denver, and our Governor literally just mandated us to cancel plans, and you can't even have people over. Trust me, they still cover Covid.

DT said the Covid talk would go away after Nov 4th.....he's been right...I haven't see much at all about Covid deaths and cases in the US since, even though its record setting and will continue to be I am sure with all the celebrations for Biden that the news wont criticize or call super spreader events....

As for a vaccine..I'll take any news  we can get  that gives us any hope or good news!!!...this seems the most promising so far out of all of them....Here in Canada, our prime minister is hopeful that first quarter of 2021 we will have vaccines rolling out...at least in limited #'s.

Really, they've literally been talking about how cases are setting records each day, and every day a new town is announcing new strict protocols. So no, trump wasn't right. And we are too busy criticizing the genius Trump team for booking the 4 Seasons yard care instead of the hotel to hold their press conference.

This thread is the equivalent of the facebook posts that say Ellen is going to give the first 500 people who share it, $500. 

Celebrity had absurd drops this weekend. Vacationstogo had suites listed at 20k per person for just over 2k, and 11k/pp balconies for less than 1k.

Does anybody know if there is a way to earn RCL casino royale points when playing at M Life eligible casinos in Vegas? I know they have a relationship as far as discounts are concerned,  but can I earn casino royale offers?

But this is missing the other phrase from your article on the main blog -- "however, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to return to service within such timeframe." That part's kind of important, since it gives them their out if they end up having to cancel December.

"We'll let you know by Dec 31st"

Spoke with my TA this morning regarding my cancelled cruise.  She told me Carnival is the guinea pig who will start up in November.  Two ships to sail 2 & 5 day itineraries from Canaveral and Miami.    Will sail at 50% capacity.   All filled up.  Any one else hear this?

Carnival canceled all November sailings this morning 

Can we please change the title to "Who's"? It's driving me crazy

Or maybe (hopefully) this is the stance for the region but will be different in the US where specifically the Healthy Sail was focused.

But why would their stance lighten in the area with substantially more covid cases?

This is not what was in the Healthy Sail document. It said masks were not necessary outdoors unless distancing was not possible. And to be clear, you don’t need a mask outside pretty much anywhere in the US.

 

From pages 25-26:

Recommendation 16: To prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, cruise operators should require guests

Specifically, guests should wear face coverings in any indoor, congregate setting regardless of physical distancing measures, but should not be required to wear face coverings in their own cabins. A notable exception is indoor dining. Seating in restaurants and bars/lounges should allow for physical distancing, so guests can eat and drink without needing face coverings while seated.

Face coverings are not required in outdoor settings as long as physical distancing is feasible. However, if physical distancing is not feasible in certain outdoor settings, masks/face coverings among guests should be required in those locations.

For crew members, masks should be worn any time they are engaging with other crew members or guests (i.e., in all public settings, both indoors and outdoors).

Seems like that was an outline, and this is the hard stance.

Disappointed that masks are required on the pool deck. Hopefully that’ll change for US cruises to the Caribbean. I don’t mind wearing one walking around, elevators etc. but sitting in the sun on the pool deck is pretty much a deal breaker. 
 

Face Masks
Face masks are required in all areas of the pool deck unless you’re in the water, where you should continue to observe physical distancing

Why would that change for cruises from the US? That's literally where they are needed the most

Taken from the Royal promise "All guests and crew will be required to wear a mask onboard. Specifically, guests should wear face masks in nearly all public settings regardless of physical distancing measures" So you need to wear them when on deck or round the pool, not sure I'm keen on that.

There's gonna be so much tension on the first sailings, I can't even imagine it'll be enjoyable. If they strictly enforce it, some people will be pissed, if they don't, other people will be mad.

Well, that saves me a call to casino royale. Sounds like RCL really hung them out to dry

I don't disagree that the cruise lines want to operate by the letter of the law, and that it would mitigate most risk... I just see how a majority of Americans act and behave on an everyday basis, and have no faith in those protocols being followed to the level they need to be.
