    OnPoint. Bring your own test kit and it's @ $15. My wife, I and another passenger did it. We all had the same experience. A young lady, who seemed to be in a wind tunnel, told you what to do. She really paid no attention to what you were doing and her only concern was a single line on the test strip. No questions about expiration date, no monitoring if you put a clean swab in the liquid tube, no notice if you do any of the procedures. I see doing my own free self test and Photoshop in my future instead of wasting the $15. 

    In the Army, we called this test a finger drill.

    We are family of 4 - when and how do they collect our names/DOB/other info?

    Or do we each need to create separate logins?

    thanks.

    Meanwhile in other news. MGM is planning today on opening up full capacity on their gaming floors in Vegas. 

    You know, people in close proximity with one another for hours upon end sharing the same air and also staying in the Hotel where they have gambled, ate and went to shows. 

    Of course, this is MUCH different than cruising. 

    2 weeks ago I spent 3 days at Great Wolf Lodge where they have.... in-freaking-door pool for guests.

    I never left the indoor resort for 3 days and still have no idea why entire cruise industry is shut down.

     

    just boggles my mind

    I'm not saying zero covid only an idiot would expect something like that. The point was fake vaccine cards can be obtained. Cruises will be in the spot light if covid breaks out on board. 

    What makes you think they will use card that can be faked?

     

    i don’t know what it will be but I am sure they will come up with the idea/system to verify vaccinations have been done.

     

    no need to worry about something that hasn’t been decided

    The CDC is an interesting agency.   It is an example of government doing what it does best.  Nothing.

    When a cruise ship had an outbreak off the California coast the CDC did nothing.  They didn't step in to help, they kept the ship offshore doing circles in the ocean.  This pretty closely followed the mistakes made by public health officials in Japan that kept guests on the ship which exacerbated the outbreak.  To cover up it's failures and the failures of Japan's version of the CDC, the CDC... blamed the cruise lines.

    At the same time the virus was running wild through nursing homes killing at an alarming rate and the CDC did nothing but watch.  

    When the CDC wanted to extend the cruise ship ban they did just that only changing the name of the orders they used to do so.  In the process they consumed pages of the order to... blame the cruise lines.

    Now the CDC continues to keep the industry shutdown through its continued inaction and really the only thing the agency is good at which is... doing nothing.

    It seems to me the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave really has little bearing on the outcome.   

    The CDC has one continued goal that hasn't wavered and that is... to do nothing but blame the cruise lines for the CDC's failures.  Despite hundreds of experts and scientists the CDC has allowed the virus to run rampant throughout our communities while they do nothing meaningful to stop it. 

    Even today the biggest action the CDC has taken to safeguard America is to ban cruise ships.  Around 15% of Americans have taken a cruise so it's no wonder this great plan from the CDC to save America hasn't stopped the virus from spreading in America.

    Blame the current administration or blame the previous administration to suit your political alliance but the real villain here is the CDC.

    I agree.

    I just don’t understand their hatred/ignorance/inaction against cruise industry.

    • Passengers should be tested for COVID-19 between five days and 24 hours prior to boarding and share a negative result with the cruise operator. 
    • At embarkation passengers should undergo an additional health screening. 
    • Crew members should be tested between five days and 24 hours before leaving their home. After receiving a negative result, they should quarantine on board for seven days and take another test before beginning duties with a negative result.
    • Passengers and crew should undergo a daily temperature check.
    • Passengers and crew should wear a face mask or cloth covering in accordance with CDC guidelines. 
    • Ships should have lowered crew and passenger loads.
    • Cruise lines should implement shorter sailing itineraries.
    • Cruise operators should also implement contact-free check-in. 
    • Increased sanitation on board and in ports should be implemented with attention paid to both low-touch and high-touch areas.
