icf75 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Assuming the policy of children over 12 need to be vaccinated to cruise lasts forevermore, and my children wont be getting vaccinated (until the trial period is over) Because of this rule and over procedures on board for the great unvaxxed, it looks as though I will be cancelling my Aug 22nd cruise on Allure. Therefore I'm guessing I will only be offered a fcc? Now here is the issue, I will possibly never be able to cruise in the near future due to the vaccination policy, therefore there is literally no point re-booking with fcc. In this instance would it be not be reasonable to request a cash refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 As it stands right now Royal is only requiring eligible guests to be vaccinated on sailings from Seattle and Nassau. "Guests are strongly recommended to set sail fully vaccinated, if they are eligible. Those who are unvaccinated or unable to verify vaccination will be required to undergo testing and follow other protocols, which will be announced at a later date."

icf75 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 But its also the procedures on board for the un-vaxxed that I don't want my children to cruise under. I also suspect they will be looked upon as disease spreaders by some! If this applies "The move comes after Florida passed a law that will fine companies $5,000 each time they ask customers if they are vaccinated against the coronavirus" How would RCL determines someone's vax status?

Matt Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 2 hours ago, icf75 said: How would RCL determines someone's vax status? On Adventure, we will have to bring and show our CDC vaccine card. No idea how they will handle this in the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 My assumption would be the way most places in Florida are handling it. Signs that unvaccinated folks need to wear masks but they don't check or enforce because they aren't allowed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 As it stands there is a CWC program going on, thats get you FCC. However, some people have been able to get a refund under the basis of not wanting to vaccinate their children. Maybe call and see what your options are. But this was when RCG said that the would mandate vaccinations, so ymmv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
