I plan to vaccinate when eligible.  Mostly so I can travel not only on cruises but elsewhere to countries that will have requirements in place.  Also though the longer we have elevated numbers of new cases the longer big brother CDC will be in my life so I'm going to do my part to get them back into the jack-in-a-box they sprang out of.
The sooner numbers get down and stay down the sooner we get rid of this unwelcome guest living rent free in our lives and by that I mean the CDC.  If getting a vaccine gets the CDC out of my life I'd take several shots if it meant getting them out of my life any faster. 

I just hope no mask mandate if vaccinated AND tested negative prior to embarkation.
I spent many hours on pool deck and wearing mask there would be a deal breaker to me
 

Looks like they moved that intern to the PR dept.

....I'd gladly take nassau-freeport-Jamaica at this point.

all things considered, I think there is a good chance it will never go away. 

A. No
B. No
C. Yes

I personally don't see how any changes on board is going to make much of a different for a virus that is past via respiratory droplets. You can clean all the surfaces you want, but people in an elevator, walking down the corridor/boardwalk, in the theater, or around a bar/pool etc and game over if 1 person is asymptomatic. Masks are proving to be the significant factor in reducing the spread of the virus and yet a huge number of people refuse to wear one when inside public buildings.
Our deal breakers are:
1. The 14 day home quarantine my wife will have to take using PTO and then unpaid leave. She already had to use 2 weeks when we got back from England in March.
2. That there appears to be no answers (yet) on what happens if there is an active or suspected covid case on board a ship.  Will ports be open for that ship?  will it be refused entry? Will the US home port refuse the ship returning as planned?  Will the passengers will allowed to get out as normal or will the whole ship be quarantined?  Will airlines allow you to fly if they know you just got on a cruise ship where there were covid cases?
I continue to read a lot about changes on board ship. So far I have seen nothing on the logistics of the an active case on board a ship.

So...just gonna say that the effective flu vaccine came out in the 40s, 20 years after the pandemic. No part of me advocates being sick, as I said in my first post for this I have personally lost 5 people closed to me, all healthy and including 2 children. That said when Universal and Disney opened, tons of people decided they don't need to wear mask. How about the people who are attacking others at restaurants or stores because they cannot get served without them? These place can refuse service, yet there is outrage. I would not cruise if mask are required because that is nothing but added stress on a vacation, those of us following the rules would be unintentionally focused on those who don't comply.

Well, Disney didn't announce anything.  that is just one analyst speculating...  no?

8+ day Southern Caribbean cruise on newer Carnival ships are really good deal/experience in my view.

ugh.....

After all these years, my wife still thinks I'm sexy. Every time I walk by her she says, "What an ass!"
My wife tells me I have two major faults. I don't listen.......and something else.
