THis is 100% true

Doesn't that just mean they aren't creating new FCCs, just that you can use the existing ones they found? The gap may be that they have no way to re-email you FCC info, only the first email when they were first issued.

Swipe your Seapass card on the chair. First hour is free. After that you start getting charged.

More mixed messaging from the CDC, but good news for cruise protocols

There's probably a better chance that the lawsuit gets an injunction than the CDC opening things up before November. Maybe not much more of a chance though

Or if the lawsuit has teeth

But there still may be a need for a gradual startup just due to international staffing delays.

I definitely see limited sailings upon restart, but I can't see them limited in length

Also remember the modular construction process of the cabins. It makes sense that an extra layer is placed on top of the cabins to form the next deck for purposes of sound, strength and maybe even safety (fire)

I know they've done that in Europe, but I'm not sure that approach would work well with an American audience.

What is the benefit from good standing if you don't return though? Now you could question if they even want to return

I'm just nitpicking the premise of the article, which discusses the scenario when the only thing people have decided about their cruise is that they want to go on a cruse.

Actually I disagree with that list entirely. If I don't have any idea what cruise line I want, I'll use one of the aggregator sites like Expedia or cruises.com. Then later go to the cruise line's website.

I wonder if The Bahamas will get some of these especially as they open vaccines to everyone there, despite not really having many to start with

I would think Indians would be in the top 3-4 nationalities.

I've never gotten pool towel charges.

I'd be curious if RC is now scrambling to replace these crew from other countries or if this is just a temporary thing to placate public health

We'll see how that plays out. It's one thing for the EU to say it. Now you just have to get the individual countries to agree to it

The only way July cruises happen is if DeSantis' lawsuit causes it. Even then I can't see a full slate of cruises.

With such modest criteria, I'd go purely on whatever's cheapest.

I don't believe any test cruises have to be done with just crew.

I think the FCC concept was a good short term idea and was never intended to go for 15+ months.

Who knew RCBlog was a stringer for the Bahamas News?

I don't doubt your sources at all. I'm just skeptical. This crew would have to be Adventure and/or Vision for it to make any sense.
