Alaska 2021 - Maybe a total loss?

Agreed number of cases is a poor stat to focus on, Florida has lots of cases but the majority are young, healthy and basically don't even notice they had it. Keeping the hospitals available for those that need to be taken care of is the key. -

Unfortunately i think there is truth to this ... government efficiency at its finest. -

Or just accept the risk and get on with it. I would be happy to get on Mariner of the Seas today exactly as it was in May of 2019. The capacity was light and combine that with some mask wearing and sanitizer stations and its exactly the same risk profile as everything else in Florida these days ...

I think this section is most relevant because no other US economic sector is subject to the CDC the way the cruise industry is. The rest of the economy is subject to a balancing act between the CDC's mission to control the spread of a disease and the other governing agencies need to have the economic sector prosper. The cruise industry has no offsetting agency that is interested in getting them restarted .. thus no restart.

Research Firm Estimates When Ships Will Sail
jticarruthers replied to twangster's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Ultimately all a guessing game at this point and based on recent comments I dont think the cruise lines even know what their plan is .. sounds like the latest iteration is waiting on the vaccine to get us to some point that the CDC finds acceptable. -
Do you think March 2021 Symphony will be cancelled?
jticarruthers replied to Beachgirl's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
maybe they are just drifting with the current ? -
I dont know a lot of people that think its a hoax, i do know a fair number that have looked at the numbers and concluded that for those that are younger and in good health the results of getting it are generally in the cold/flu category and therefore arent convinced that taking a vaccine with unknown long term effects to avoid it may not be optimal. Generally of the opinion that people who are older/have underlying conditions should be taking it though as the risk/reward is very different at that point.
-
It depends on what the requirements are. If its mask everywhere, all the time, then no i wouldnt book it so i would have to wear the mask. Masks in sensible areas/ways ... fine, i dont really want to but if it makes sense i can live with it.
-
No i was asking if those 400 knowingly sail without a vaccine does that impact the 7600 significantly ?
-
This I find interesting .. so if you have had the vaccine you are now "safe" so how does whether or not someone else on the plane potentially being unvaccinated affect your safety ... I actually hadn't thought of this but when discussing the likelihood of cruises requiring all passengers to be vaccinated got challenged on it. If the crew is vaccinated (condition of employment, presumably) and all those passengers that are concerned about it are vaccinated, why would it matter if an unvaccinated passenger wanted to cruise ... I think there is a slight risk of the unvaccinated passeng
