This is our second cruise, we did the 5-day Adventure of the Seas last year and it was so much fun that we moved to a 7 day this time! We can't do the excursions so we'll be sticking around close to the ship for those (I am in a wheelchair that isn't able to go on them). You'll find us pretty easily, I'm the grandmother in the wheelchair with the blue and purple hair (yes, I love that stuff). I'll be accompanied by Santa on vacation (hubby). 

If you see us, come say hi, we love to meet people.

We just got off Allure on 12/19 and started hearing rumors on the last night of the cruise that a more stringent mask policy would be enforced on the next sailing.  During this 8 day cruise nearly everyone grudgingly complied with the existing marks policy, however capacity limits on the elevators, in public bathrooms, etc were somewhat ignored by most passengers.  It was great being back at sea but the reductions in activities and shows was disappointing.  Like you I am not a “medically qualified” professional but the assessment that the new variant is little more than a common cold is right on.  It’s to bad that the media and certain bureaucratic dynasties continue to fan the flames of Covid hysteria at the expense of our country, the cruising industry being a microcosm of the deleterious results we must endure in order to enjoy our lives.  There never has been nor will there ever be a virus free event among groups of people living their normal daily lives.  Sail on!!

 

 

 

I'm going to be watching the policy VERY closely. We're going on our very first sail Jan 31-Feb 4 on the Adventure, a dream trip my husband has promised me for the 30 years we've been married. Now I see there's another mask mandate. We're 3-shot vaccinated and such. I'm also someone who has panic attacks with the masks. I don't know why, we've worked on it for over a year and I haven't been able to stand one for more than 10 minutes. The stated policy of having areas where fully vaccinated didn't have to mask was one reason why we booked this ship/trip and got that booster just before Christmas. 

I'm hoping this will be a non-problem by then, I don't want to cancel this trip. I'm sitting here almost in tears at the very thought of having to give up this trip because of having to wear a stupid 5x7 piece of cloth.
