Which, I feel will continue to be the case; because, the science says vaccinated persons are leading candidates of spreading the virus, and RCG, stated, the staff will continue to be fully vaxxed & boosted... not to mentioned the 80+ percent passengers. Cruise lines would serve themselves better, to forgo it all together, like most of society.

A Lazy River would be a great addition...really, at all of RCG private destinations.
 

Watch what subsequently happens weeks after the Olympics....

Yeah......protocols tend to never go away & they all will opt-in; pre-covid cruising is done forever. <smh>

Like policy, once standard behavior protocols are in place, they tend to never go away. So, although covid hysteria is fading away, like most other infectious outbreaks; something new will take its place, to keep the "new normal" going....and I'm not talking about another variant.

Really, you can't go wrong with any view. 270° put the cruisers view closer to the water; neither less, can't go wrong with either one.

Kinda suspect the Icon will be a hybrid Oasis/Quantum class ship

I think they were advised what potentially would happen & how it could effect their record

One thing cruise ships have going for them that MLB teams don't is multi-tiered approach.
Yankees rely only on vaccines. Based on what I've seen on TV, mask use is a joke among staff/players.
Cruise ships will have testing of every single person coming onboard, contact tracing, etc.
So I don't believe what MLB is seeing will be an apples-to-apples with cruises.
Something that the cruise industry has been telling the CDC, and the CDC has kind of relented on, is cruises cannot be a zero risk scenario. So yes, cases on a ship should be met with quarantine, treatment, contact tracing, and proper care.  But as they show in the entertainment industry, "the show must go on".

Not a big deal. My understanding is that vaccinated shouldn't have a rough go of it and probably won't need hospitalization.  It will be interesting to see if that proves true.  

In a world where COVID just isn't as deadly by virtue of population immunity (either derived from vaccines or from prior infection) and an improved standard of care, I would argue everything other than ensuring a ship is ready to provide urgent medical care (which let's be honest, cruise ships were lacking in this regard prior to COVID) and follow typical respiratory virus protocol (ie confining to quarters for a positive, symptomatic case) is theater. We are making no effort to contain the virus on shore, why would on a ship be any different, unless you are at risk of not being able to provide medical care if things go south?

That area would be a great location for a fourth pool & lounge area, overlooking the back side of the ship, with one of those infinity edge glass wall.
 
I understand this for the china market; but, an additional pool would be a nice update for the US market(if it ever sail again) if there's ever plan to reduce the number of flowriders to 1, on an Oasis Class ship, imo...and help move some traffic & spread, from other areas of the ship.
