90 or so responses and I can't remember ever seeing as much negativity as I just have? We got what we want! Now there is an avalanche of overthought, baseless, "what ifs" and could be's and.... Were supposed to be pumped. We knew all along that masks and vaccinations would be part of the deal and now the moaning surfaces?  I thought this group was supposed to be steadfast cruisers. A week ago you didn't mind the masks and vacs but today you do?  Stay on the beach if you wish but I'll be on an upper deck waving bye bye...

I don't see  that Adventure sales are anything but brisk... I checked dates out to September and a number of categories are sold out up and down the line   and price increases have taken place in some situations... Even when I did find the combo of things I was looking for regarding category dates et. sections of the ship were already sold out.  I can't speak to Vision as I didn't shop it but may. The potential restart in USA I'm sure will distract  from their sailings though... 
 
 

I don't have hard numbers but all my cruising friends got or are getting the vaccine SO they can sail. Myself a combo of that and I also saw the Bahama "thing" coming ... I work there frequently  and this saves me an expensive test over and over. For the record I'm not overly "Pro Vaccine" but if it gets me on a ship then so be it. I'm not alone in that view...

I believe Jill to be right. They are having a tantrum they can't control the whole world. Today the Congress added a bill to the Senate one trying to bring this to an end. It doesn't bod well to have multiple states suing then bills from both house and senate looking to clip their wings.  Bahama numbers very low. Their peak came in October with five times as many active cases as they have now (2500 vs 450). Most days have no deaths. About 40 new cases a day nation wide...  CDC are behaving like spoiled children who's toys are being taken away...

This. I also think that the pandemic has changed a LOT since Summer 2020, or even Winter 2020. While at one point we all thought masks would be required, then vaccines arrived. At that point no one had access to vaccines, so we assumed masks and vaccines. Now vaccines are available to everyone over 16, and CDC has changed it's masking advice to not be recommended outside. So I don't think it's unreasonable to pontificate on what could/should be. A lot of us see that the pandemic is changing (read: getting better) quickly and think that policies and procedures should evolve along with it.

I too am a bit shocked by how pessimistic a lot of people are being about this more positive news. All the cruises not cruising from US ports require vaccination. We all have been assuming that to start there would be mask and vaccination requirements. 95 and 98% are not bad numbers and very easy to achieve. This is not something I would consider jumping through hoops.

Again another "its how you read it thing". As I read it a few times. It seems that the order is for employees moving forward. Not ones that have already been moved into position. "Halts hiring NEW crew" being key words there... Deep breaths. I'm sensing knee jerk reactions  equating "all " with "new".  I don't see "all or previous or existing" mentioned just  "new".

Have never experienced this. Maybe it's because over the course of a trip I turn in more towels than I check out.
(More than once, I've removed a chair hog towel that's been verifiably unused for several hours and turned it in using my SeaPass).

Thats where after 3 years I'm very slowly making ground on trying to recover the 14 years of my records C+A "misplaced". 

Inconsistency across the board... When encountering problems in booking, refunds, FCC's , etc. I seldom get the same answer from reps twice...  I do get my issues resolved but usually takes several calls before somebody gets its right. used to bug me more when something would go wrong and seems like everybody else  never had that kind of problem. After reading enough here and around the web I see plenty that I'm happy didn't happen to me.   C+A losing  almost 14 years of my info, didn't and doesn't sit well with me. After almost 3 years of back and forth we are only now starting to see a little progress. Again a zillion calls to make something happen. I gave up years ago trying to decipher their math... That will give you ulcers that you could fly a Boeing through...
