I'm sure the same issue occurs with people flying on aircraft every day. They just don't test so no one knows.

When you remember how long you waited to cruise, and now its over.... Back to the grind.

Hopefully there will be a forensic review on the "how". Retest to see if false or ambiguous, faulty test kit (that happens), maybe falsified vaccination record, perhaps an actual breakthrough? Could be a combination of things. Won't know until the land based physicians look at it. I'm sure Celebrity sets up an incident team just like for accidents. Peaks my interest, but no sense worrying about it.

Edge doesn't either, but they have the IT system to integrate such a capability. In lieu of a bracelet, a door key swipe or RFID card reader cloud be installed at muster stations to record passenger visit to the station. I don't think they'll do much more enhancement on older class ships (cheaper to have a crew member give you a smiley sticker when you visit the station). The WOW type bands are used by other lines than RCL. (Disney pioneered the concept for their parks) Useful to monitor location of guests and of course today - contact tracing. I saw a demo that was used to monitor passenger flow through popular areas on a deck so that improvements could be made to reduce congestion.

For the more up to date O/Q (& Edge) class ships, is the muster station visit accomplished though use of a WOW band swipe at the station?

Part Deux

They don't have to shut down the bars for the drill anymore. ?

I’m not one for buoyancy, but whatever floats your boat…

The reason why Swedish naval ships display bar codes on their hulls is so that, when they return to harbour, they can Scandinavian

Why did the admiral decide against buying a new hat? He was afraid of cap sizing.

Been to the rock formation. There's a narrow path you must climb through to make it to the top. Tough for some people to handle. The exit path has a set of stairs back down.

Definitely far more at Coco Cay.

I had the same question....it appears if 95% of the boarding guests affirms vaccination status, Celebrity accepts that information as satisfying the 2B requirement. For those that affirm vaccination status but do not provide proof - must go through additional testing and subject to stricter on-board protocols during the voyage. Seems to thread the needle, but does it really?

How much could be due to current desire to increase spacing between passengers and reduce crowding? Couldn't the perks change back in time after enough have voiced a negative opinion?

Slowwwwww rolling

Also the Royal app will provide information on what's open and when. So a handy tool when looking to find something to eat.

Quantum experience has shown the protocols work. As we're still under CSO - the 95% guideline cannot be authenticated pre-cruise, as no-proofers are treated s unvaccinated (from a protocol perspective not counting perspective). I'm not sure how the arithmetic will count guests to get to the 95%. 500 guests show up - 400 volunteer and show proof, 100 affirm vaccination with no proof. Is that 80% or 100% per the count methodology ? I'm guessing Celebrity would count it as 100% (even though there's a different rule set for no proofers). I'm not against this, I'm not sure will satisfy the federal rule. I'm sure its gone through all sorts of company legal review, and hopefully coord with FL authorities that this is compliant. Guess we'll know if or when the sailings occur.

Celebrity is employing a creative approach to satisfy both federal and state restrictions to support restart. Still holding to the 95% target for passengers, but passengers will need to provide proof, or be handled (assumed) as not vaccinated. How do you really know if the 95% rule is met? You either voluntarily provide info, if not and you say you are, but don't have proof, you're treated as an unvaccinated passenger. My passengers said so? Interesting approach, and I'm not against creative solutions. "Non-proofers" will need to take a test prior to boarding, and be treated differently on-board (masks, excursion limits etc). What if there's a case or 2 that breaks out? Doesn't that risk tanking the entire line, if not the industry who go down the "honor system" path? I like the innovation - not sure the optics are right to play the game. Leaning forward....

Excellent. Wonder if they'll add a Millennium canal booking so they don't dead head to west coast/Seattle. Could add a Panama Canal stopping in Long Beach, then a CA coast run from LA to Seattle stopping in MX, Monterrey and SF if they can get port agreements.

Better chance of winning with less people playing ?

What's the airfare look like? Does the Canadian ban expire in Feb '22 or is it open ended?

Lately it seems that Fed supremacy has been sustained over border states that have tried to levy laws to control immigration flow over their borders.
