^^^ the 3 best colors are charcoal, dark turquoise, and slate blue for not being see-thru 

MSC was the day before I think 
 

Here’s the same news from USA Today.  It doesn’t say they differentiate whether you arrive by air or sea ……. Sounds like it applies across the board to everyone …..

Thats probably a copyright thing! 
Theres a lawsuit in Germany right now where the real tina turner is suing a tina turner tribute act because she looks like her ( no joke ) 
I would like to know which one is simply the best? 

You know the gooberment, never let a good (insert whatever happened here) go to waste.  Then do everything you can to scare people in some way to get them in their own way to save the (insert whatever needs to be saved here).
 
This is the same BS that happens all the time.  If the CDC wants to be truly taken seriously they will require testing of all flight crew, train crews, bus crews, etc. before and after travel and will also require negative tests to board anything that is a mode of transit for more than 5 miles.  Same goes for people working at any place where large numbers of people will attend.  Level the playing field so ALL industries are required to have the same requirements.  After they do that they can start causing issues and raising alerts.  Till they do the CDC is a dumpster fire that needs to get put out at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

There is clear bias from the CDC. 
I have flown, stayed in hotels, been to WDW, and cruised this year and I only felt safe on one. 
I have stayed in a hotel 5x this year. Twice it was a resort that offered only basic cleaning. The other times if you weren't staying a certain number of nights, they wouldn't clean at all. None of them require vaxx records or a negative test
I didn't have to show negative test results to get into Universal or Disney. Nobody was practicing social distancing; in fact, many were eating in drinking in the lines so they wouldn't have to keep their mask on while inside.
On Allure everyday crews were not only cleaning the rooms but wiping down touchpoints on the regular.
I know several families that tested positive from coming back from theme parks over the holidays. No news about that. Nope let's focus on 60/5000 cases where none were severe. Every activity is a risk. 

Oh no you are perfectly safe going inside all of those establishments and taking those modes of transportation. 
The only thing where there is increase risks of COVID exposure is on a cruise ship per the CDC.  For an agency that claims to follow the science and the data why then do they continue to single out the cruise industry when both the science and the data shows lower risks of COVID exposure on a cruise ship than any where on land. They are still trying to use COVID to gut the cruise industry and it totally unfair.
The CDC is a joke.

Ok, cool. So what’s the warning level for the following?
Airports
Airplanes
Sporting events
Concert venues
Movie theaters
Shopping malls
Grocery stores
Large chain retail stores
Amusement parks
Public transportation
Restaurants
Bars
Resorts

The CDC is a complete joke.  

A recent increase from 0.2% to 1% positive.
 
Meanwhile some cities and states are in the 20% positive range

I am taking this as serious as "Quarantine for 2 weeks to lessen the curve". 

So on the other hand the vaccination is not a real vaccination per se, it is more like a cough drop, it will prevent the symptoms but will not stop you from getting or spreading the virus. But once you have had it you should have Immunity per science prior to Covid which people like the CRC are not remembering.

So where does this leave us, same as prior to Covid, when you go on a cruise you take an inherent risk of everything a cruise could possibly cause. You might break a leg, net the norovirus, slip and fall or now get Covid.

In October on Symphony, we won a bid on an upgrade from a GS1 to a CL for only $235pp ….. $470 Total …….. I never expected to win for that cheap ….. it was the absolute minimum I could even bid on that category …… so you just never know what will or won’t get you the Royal Up.

Cats is cancelled?  Woohoo!  

In the past I had to specifically state I wanted to use the Diamond drinks when ordering (when the Happy Hour 3 drinks were given).  If I didn't say anything they automatically rang it up full price.  Once I even told them it was a Diamond drink and they never gave me a slip but it still showed as a full drink charge on my bill that I later had to go get taken off at Guest Services.  I would imagine it will be the same way, by default they'll use the package if you have it but if your package doesn't cover the drink they would charge you for it unless they knew to apply the discount.  

I third this…. If that’s a thing. 😜 I know our state makes big headlines but our family went maskless everywhere as soon as it was allowed and no issues. I cancelled our Harmony NYE cruise today because even though I wasnt thrilled about the masking, I cannot justify spending over $10k for missed ports and lack of onboard entertainment. Did not pitch a fit over the no refund policy this close to sailing and simplify rolled it to the odyssey next NYE. Nothing Royal or anyone of us can do about the current situation, it’s just bad timing for the industry.  My daughter is crushed but at least our Alaska cruise in August went off without a hitch.  Going to go celebrate NYE at a little jazz club in Melbourne maskless and happy this year. Here’s hoping for the spring break cruise in March to be better. I hope everyone enjoys their holiday week, no matter what their decisions!!
