ellcee Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 This comes out as selfish I realize, but I need a few cases of "you first". I need people to sail and see they're okay...admittedly I don't know exactly what that means but I need for some time to go by to cruise. I don't think I need a vaccine to cruise though. I don't know how life will look on a cruise. I have issues when strangers stand too close to me to begin with. I ride mass transit (not for last two months) and already know when I get back the train will feel weird and unsafe. I already can see the fights breaking out because someone coughed or sat too close. If I need to wear a mask, sure. I don't care. I just want things somewhat back to normal or the new normal.

The general population doesn't understand the transmittal process, much less what it requires for a true decontamination. Think of it this way...you wear a mask, but no gloves and go into a store, pick up an item then decide you don't want it, like many before you have. You place it back on the shelf continue with your shopping. Later on after you get back home and unload the items that you purchased from your bags, placing thing where they needed to be. Did you decontaminate the items before you put them away? Who all touched those items before you did? Did they have the virus? Did you touch your face or any part of your body, without thinking about it? Did the store decontaminate the items before they put them on the shelfs? What about the people loading and unloading? It is required by the Governor here in NJ and most states. It is also store policy. If you go into a store you should wear one or be thrown out. I wear a bandanna, its not the end of the world. Its just an added extra precaution. To say its "taking away your constitutional right" is certifiable. Its just protection.

Gears Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 From the news items out there, it seems that there might not ever be a vaccine (search 'can you get COVID-19 a second time'). I read two articles last weekend that outlined some medical community fears that this might end up having the same treatable characteristics as the common cold...and/or we're just zig-zagging our way to eventual herd immunity. Either way...cruise on. RBRSKI, mworkman and Ogilthorpe 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 And if I may politely add, that tweet from the Surgeon General is from Feb 20, a lifetime ago in regards to the pandemic, at a time when healthcare workers desperately needed masks. I’m also guessing those who were hoarding masks ( and toilet paper) are the same who are now against using them. My take is this (and it applies to WDW too!), if masks are required to partake in my 2 favorite vacations then I must wear a mask. For me the question is not whether it really helps or if it is enforceable once there but that these companies are feeling their way through this. If they are erring on the side of caution, why are we making it more difficult? What gives us the right to tell them which rules we will or won’t follow? To me the choice is simple. If masks are required you either go AND WEAR ONE or put off the trip.

Chadster Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I gave a bit of a glib, silly answer yesterday after I made my vote. In all seriousness, yes, I would go if RCCL is allowed to sail. Sailing means that they've submitted a plan to the CDC -- or at the very least, have a very strong one internally. None of the cruise lines are going to sail before they're certain they're doing all they can. They are under such a microscope now, I can't even imagine. They've become one of this pandemic's whipping boys. Nobody wants to get back to doing what they do -- and doing it right -- more than the cruise lines. Of this, I have no doubt. And I'd like to think that cruisers who decide to cruise (who, let's face it, are not as likely to be brand-new to cruising) will do what they need to do in order to get to enjoy their vacation. On 2 of my 3 upcoming cruises, I have a balcony. I'm hoping to upgrade the third (on which I at least have an ocean view) to that option, too, so if we're required to isolate at certain times, then it won't be so bad. I need this vacation. Yes, I know there are alternatives to cruising, but honestly, nothing for me packs a value quite like cruising. I don't drive...I travel solo. And bam -- I get outstanding culinary choices, changes in scenery every day, and a chance to meet new folks and unwind. All while letting someone else do the driving...er...sailing. But truthfully, I need this. I know there may be a potential risk to my physical health, but real talk here...my mental health is already taking a beating. My life's been turned upside down and inside out in the last 8 months by medical things, and I've seen much-needed breaks and breathers evaporate, first because of pain and infection, and now because of this virus threat. I am fully prepared to accept any requirement to self-isolate for 14 days after a cruise as mandated by my state. I live a thousand miles away from my family -- I've always kinda done my own thing and been in my own place in the world. So it's reassuring to know I wouldn't run the risk of infecting them if I were to get sick. I have friends I've talked to about this eventuality, and they are more than willing to pick up groceries or other things for me if it comes to this, and I'd be able to continue to work from home without any real interruption to my schedule. I can also safely isolate from my roommate without much trouble, made even easier when my roommate's schedule goes back to normal, too, and they're able to go to their office. I just want to feel normal again -- even in a new normal. I wanna be able to put the world on hold for 7-8 days and just explore and recharge. I promised myself 2020 would be the year I'd be better to myself and start seeing the world. And if there's any way possible at all, I wanna keep that promise, even if I have to do it with a mask at times.

DandA Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I voted yes, although I did lift and shift my September cruise to next year. I did this for several reasons; not sure it will actually go or go to the scheduled ports (it's a NE/Canada cruise) and it's a first cruise for my son and dil. The dil has a fear of flying and ships and we picked this one because it's very port intensive, and while we would be happy sailing in circles i know they wouldn't enjoy it. Now I have three cruises scheduled for next year and the wife says "we have to wait till March to cruise, i won't make it that long". LOL Told her if they start cruising this fall maybe we can sneak in a last minute sailing if the price is right. We both are immune compromised and will take the vaccine as soon as it's available. I'm a cancer survivor and when I was first diagnosed my oncologist said the question everyone has is "Will i die from this cancer, he said maybe but you could also get hit by a bus when you leave here". My take on this is live your life don't worry what may happen tomorrow. I have had extensive training on the use of masks both for chemical warfare, painting and toxic chemicals. The CDC, Surgeon General and others have lied to us about the use of masks, there are many types of mask and they all work to a certain degree or no one would be wearing them. Some masks are better than others, the SN95 masks filters 95% of particles larger than 0.3 microns other masks including the homemade ones are not as effective with surgical masks better than cloth ones. The other lie is they don't protect you from getting covid-19 but prevent you from transmitting it to others, to believe that you have to believe that the filter only filters one way. Any mask is better than no mask if you are in contact with someone that has it, the problem is they haven't told us how easy it is to catch it. There have been some saying that you won't catch it just walking by someone unless they cough or sneeze. I wear my mask when I have to go out to the store or dr and will continue until the positive test results drop to zero or close to zero. Avoid touching your face and wash your hands frequently.

bobroo Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 If you are looking for an overwhelming Yes response than this is the place you will find it. But in reality people are going to transition back to normal at all kinds of different rates and as they see comfortable. There is no switch that gets flicked back normal. It will takes years to get back to 2019. That being said, people are not looking for a vacation. They have been on a vacation for a month and a half and as much as they would like to get out of their house, getting away from it all is not on their radar. I voted No. Cruises for me involve airplanes, airports, hotels, and ground transportation. I need to feel comfortable and safe with all of those things before I make the decision whether being safe on a cruise ship is even possible.

Ampurp85 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I personally hate wearing mask, I find myself touching my face to adjust said mask 23x more than I would not wearing one. However, as a decent human being, I would wear one if required to do simple activities. People like @Matt who live in Florida or who can drive to ports, will have an easier time saying yes. Far harder for me in Chicago to be comfortable as it not just a cruise I am worried about. I have a bunch of other variables to consider such as a full flight and people who are anti-whatever. I hate to say this but I fear we have become too impatient, just look at the refund thread, people want things to go back to normal fast. It has literally been 2 months and look at how the world has devolved and evolved. If anything we used to do opened up, there would be lines.....correction there are line...look at Universal and Disney. Some people are like "nobody wants to cruise or go on vacation, we been on vacation." But that is just not true. A lot of people still worked through this, their minds have told them they need a break. I am sure contrarians will book their first cruise just to prove a point.

I did this with my first mask, which didn't fit very well. My new one fits so well that I forget it's on and never have to adjust it (granted I only wear it when at Costco - I rarely ever go anywhere else.) We don't wear them at work, even though I wish we did. While the dispatchers can social distance from each other, I have to get right up next to them when they have a problem on their computer, usually within 2 feet. It makes me uncomfortable. My dispatchers are young and will likely be the first ones driving across the border to drink at bars in Wisconsin since they're open now. I wear my mask to hopefully protect others from me, should I be positive and asymptomatic.

Heh, you just called out the unspoken qualifier from Matt's poll question. He asked if I was comfortable; he didn't say anything about whether the whole family unit was! If my daughter and I did test positive for antibodies, you can bet I'd have my wife tested as well since she was home with us the whole time we were sick, and I can't see how she wouldn't have caught whatever it was from us. The only wildcard is my older daughter, who was away at college for that whole time. But her campus was also dealing with a nasty bug, including at least one classmate who was tested for Covid-19 but came back negative, so who knows there. If either my wife or my older daughter came back negative for antibodies, and we still didn't have a vaccine, then I'd leave it up to them how they felt about doing the trip. That said, my wife is talking about maybe going up to Niagara falls (NY side) during the summer if things open up enough to make interstate travel possible again. So clearly she's not over-worried as long as we're following precautions of social distancing, wearing our masks in public, avoiding restaurants that didn't seat us outdoors, etc. RWDW1204, GrandmaAirplane and Matt 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And science / technology is not at a level where we can beat spontaneous evolution / mutation. What made Spanish Flu so incredibly deadly was the mutation that happened over the summer; the death toll in the initial outbreak was bad, but not horrifying. The horrifying part came when fall rolled around and the new strain began killing 10x more than the initial strain did. So far at least, Covid-19 is proving to be far more stable in the key parts of its genetics than Spanish Flu ever was. So with luck we won't have to face the hell of an even deadlier strain than what we've got now. Because this is already quite enough for me, thank you very much.

Albondigas Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 The odds of a single contact involving the virus are small, assuming independent events and random exposure. However, the probability of being exposed to the virus after several hundred contacts approaches certainty. Just do the math, and you will see. So we will all be exposed at some point. I won't cruise until my wife and I feel it is safe -- that we can mitigate the risk, or have access to effective treatment, or have access to a vaccine. This is still a virus the kills healthy people without underlying conditions. But we face parallel risks at home -- going for groceries, gas, etc. Again, we will all be exposed within a year unless we are recluses. At some point we will make a personal decision to balance the risks at home and travel. We are scheduled to cruise in early 2022, and I believe that will be a good time.

Well that is the million dollar question. It's it "shut down" or just buffet served by servers? I can't imagine it's completely "shut down". If it's shut down it can't be wasted space and everyone that would have eaten there will cram into the MDR and that certainly wouldn't be shy kind of distancing. It will be interesting to see the solutions the cruise lines come up with. I agree with one thing most people say, you cannot social distance nor would you want to on a cruise. Maybe our cruise on Oasis Sept 6th will be one of the first and we can see first hand. I'll be a ginny pig if only for curiosity sake. I just don't want to be quarantined for 14 days after the cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
