I would doubt it's quite that intensive here. Having to provide your full medical history prior to boarding might be acceptable for Israelis, but not here. Wear gloves and protective clothing to disembark? Sounds like a blast. Fortunately with the CDC saying surface transmission is extremely unlikely, that's another thing we won't see here.

"Cruise ships were hot spots for Covid outbreaks last year in the early days of the global health crisis, prompting the CDC to issue its no-sail order in mid-March 2020. " This is so misleading.

I already filled that out and it got me nothing more than getting on senator email newsletter lists.

I think NCL's approach was to curry favor with the CDC, since their vaccine requirement only goes through the end of the CSO

I think banning kids and families will backfire big time for NCL. And it'd be even worse for RC to change their mind now.

I didn't realize the cruise planners were a per-ship thing

The volcano erupted this morning

Especially when what you're asking for is something that allows RC to keep it money.

USA gets a convoluted, outdated, impossible CSO. UK get a traffic light system

At the 29:00-ish mark, he may have been asked about cruise lines requiring vaccines, but it's tough to tell the question actually asked

BGI is Bridgetown, Barbados. But the destination may have been outdated due to the sudden change of itinerary

I thought I read somewhere that L&S will preserve any kind of eligibility you booked the old reservation under.

In another "thank you CDC" moment, RC will only allow evacuees on board who have been vaccinated. https://newsamericasnow.com/caribbean-news-st-vincent-issues-alert-as-volcano-shows-signs-of-erupting/

I see Serenade en route but shows its destination as Barbados (even though it's headed towards St Vincent). I don't see any others that look like they're headed that way.

So basically 1) The CDC overstepped its bounds and 2) They half assed the CSO

About 160 countries are on the "avoid all travel" list. Including Mexico and Bermuda I'm sure the USA is on a lot of countries' "avoid all travel" list too

The AD FAQ did say that people would have to show their vaccination card by boarding day.

RC trying to work a deal with BahamasAir for these cruises https://thenassauguardian.com/bahamasair-negotiating-withhome-porting-cruise-lines-on-airlift/ I don't know if BahamasAir still has any code shares with US airlines

I'll be curious to see the text of the actual lawsuit

The Air2Sea stuff is pretty archaic. But I had no issues booking.

For Americans, merely a copy of your vaccine card.

Kind of big news. DeSantis is suing the CDC.

This is all that's in the CSO
