SteveinSC reacted to LifesEz in The Must-Wear-a-Face-Mask Protocol for vaccinated passengers
If so, then the next variant may be called the CV-19 'Murderer Variant.'
That should give the media enough room to scare everyone into getting vaccinated.
They can use scary music, then shock flash hospital beds on the screen.
I lost a cousin to CV-19 in January.
This constant reach for a new deadly variant name and hype is sort of insulting to the really deadly first version.
I don't want in 2025 to hear CV-19 A6Z9 variant.

You may be onto something. There are hornets and there are murder hornets. I'll take a plain hornet sting any day over the other.

Regardless who is to blame I cancelled my Odyssey August cruise this morning because of the mask requirements.
By cancelling now Royal has over 40 days to find a willing participant and that participant has 40+ days to plan their cruise, find something to do in port, get time off work, etc. Seemed like the fair thing to do for everyone involved as cancelling 72 hours before the cruise would screw Royal, make it harder to resell my cabin on short notice and if they were able to sell my cabin that person would have no time to plan anything or buy anything in the cruise planner.
Maybe by September the mask requirement will be gone. If not I've got another decision to make in a few weeks.

It’s just a mask…
its just 2 weeks…
it’s just 15 days to slow the spread..
its just shutting down children’s playgrounds to protect them..
its just closing beaches…
its just a 5 year old wearing a mask all day in school…
its just having children at summer camps in extreme temps required to wear masks..
it’s just suspending elective surgeries at hospitals for a Covid surge that didn’t happen…
its just an increased rate in suicides among young people because of isolation…
I’m sorry but it is a big deal when the CDC and our government has been so wrong so often about Covid and Covid protocols/lockdowns over the last year
Hopefully we learn from the past and seriously evaluate the mitigation methods taken against Covid and not repeat these same mistakes moving forward and this includes the cruise lines and masking. After July 18 when the CSO is no longer enforceable, masks should not be required on cruise ships. Cause guess what, even with masks, Covid cases will happen.

Like many things this comes down to personal preferences.
On Serenade for example lounging in the Solarium watching the world go by requires wearing a mask. For many people sitting for hours in a space like the Solarium on a sea day and having to wear a mask is a pretty significant factor. The ear loops start to hurt after a few hours. After seven days of wearing masks for hours and hours each day?
As a fully vaccinated person for several months having not worn a mask anywhere in my life for the last 45+ days while visiting shops, bars and restaurants or anywhere I go I'm still undecided if I want my vacation impacted to this extent. Once you get a taste of the maskless life it's hard to put one on and be happy about it. Three days on Freedom is one thing. Eight days on a different ship? Undecided.
I have a 14 night cruise booked this fall. If masks are still required I don't see buying a whole new stockpile of masks and putting up with masks for that cruise.
Thankfully they are giving me the CWC option.

The CDC has a lot to learn. If you ask any Hollywood movie producer they'll you tell that a good scary movie title needs a good evil scary name.

The Delta variant has been nothing, which is why they're moving onto the Lambda variant.

SteveinSC reacted to gatorskin76 in New guidelines out for July sailings out of FL
They better be offering full refunds for those opting out of these new requirements. Getting this insurance for my 13 year old is bit ridiculous. Hopefully the actuarial tables and premium reflect the actual risk of a 13 year old being evacuated due to Covid.

Anyone able to confirm that no caskets are being taken off Freedom following the test voyage?

Joey Tribbiani: If he doesn't like you, then this is all just a moo point.
Rachel Greene: Huh? A moo point?
Joey Tribbiani: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo".

SteveinSC reacted to nate91 in Idea
I'd love to see a poll of the members of RCBlog, asking whether people, if given the choice, would choose:
a. a fully vaccinated cruise ship
b. a mixed cruise ship, vaccination status not required
c. a 2019 cruise ship, run exactly the same as a pre-pandemic cruise.

SteveinSC reacted to Ogilthorpe in Idea
I would add a 3rd ship to the poll ... completely free from vaccine consideration ... I would be onboard without reservation.
To quote Billy Joel: "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun" ??

SteveinSC got a reaction from LizzyBee23 in State of Florida Sues CDC Over Cruise Shut Down
I partially agree....may very well be what they are doing.....but there is a big picture aspect to this. Precedent can be set for the limits to what the CDC can do with the cruise line industry (and others), and how they impose "guidance". Im hoping thats what we ultimately get from this.

Florida called it the Jones Act. That should be grounds for immediate dismissal of this motion for an attorney not knowing the difference

On the flip side, DeSantis is saying that the CDC has a de facto vaccine mandate that the cruise lines have to follow

Count me in with you. No concerns about cruising with the un-vaxxed no matter what their reason.

I would happily cruise with 'the great un-vaxxed'. Just as long as I could cruise, the risks are minuscule!"!

SteveinSC reacted to cruisinghawg in Freedom of the Seas first Test Cruise in July
I will go and I am a seasoned citizen with some small underlying conditions. But I am vaccinated and refuse to live my life in fear. I go to Walmart , Lowes, Home Depot and the local race track that has at least 200-300 people there when I am there and have had no problems.
