hi, thanks for your review of the Joy! We're booked to be on the Jade in October and was wondering    upon arriving for embarkation, if they scan everyone's QR code from their phone/print out of their covid vaccination proof? I have 3 different QR codes for the 3 vaccinations and am worried what if it doesn't scan properly? I don't have any way to check if they scan properly as nowhere else scans QR codes for vaccination proof anymore for a long time now. Or do they just look at the paper or at your phone which states the dates/type of shots you've had and that's all they care about, or do they check every QR code separately? I don't want to get denied boarding and sent home because of a technical glitch in the QR codes!

Most adults are not vaxxed unlike what the media tells you.  I'd say it's 50%.  95% of the adults  I know are not.

Maybe the media is wrong as you believe they are, but these are the latest stats where I'm from (Canada):  85.03% of the population vaccinated with at least one dose.

We have a similar dilemma with one person in our group of six. We wanted to cruise in Jan/Feb, but decided to book (Wonder of Seas) at end of April for our daughter’s bday, in hopes of giving more time for the no-vaccine possibility. What we fine so perplexing is that the testing would be dropped vs the vaccine requirements. Everyone could still decide for themselves if they wish to be vaccinated and feel better about the possibility of having mild symptoms should they contract Covid. The vaccine certainly doesn’t seem to be keeping anyone from getting it. Wouldn’t the much better peace of mind come from knowing that everyone boarding had tested negative? I do understand the stress of testing and why people are not wanting to do so….which we are fine with also….but between the two it seems like the test would be the safer “rule” 

I agree that dropping vaccination requirement makes more sense, as most adults are vaccinated anyway. If they really "believed" the vaccination works, they shouldn't worry about everyone around them being vaccinated as well. If I get a flu shot, I would feel protected and wouldn't want to force people around me to get a flu shot because I would believe I'm protected by the flu shot. Covid vaccination seems to be different for some reason.

sorry, didn't notice, looks like someone already answered my question that both azipods must be working in order to arrive in Auckland in time, thanks, let's hope for the best!

Not sure I like the word they used "addressed" instead of something more concrete like "repaired".

Just curious.... but if its expected to arrive in Auckland before 12 pm on Feb. 18, does that mean both azipods must be fully operational for it to arrive at that time? (I'm not sure if that's the time it takes a fully functional ship takes to cruise that distance, or if they still expect it to go slower than normal because it is not "fully" repaired?)

Now.....they wouldn't possibly leave land without it being 100% fixed, right.....?!?
