Absolutely nothing lol!

It will be very soon without a doubt, good times! 🥳

Yeah something is wrong with the site today, I'm having problems with it and others are reporting the same.

Great news NCL, you have my business! VERY HAPPY, it is party time 🥳🥳🥳!

Yeah, life goes on.  So get a vaccine and get tested....it's not a big deal!

If that is what you want to do then that is your right, others will choose what is right for them and that is their right! Bon Voyage! 🥳

It's unfortunate that they are allowing unvaccinated passengers onto ships.  I wish they would have just stopped the testing of the vaccinated and continued to only let on a small percentage of unvaccinated.

 

It is time to get back to normal and for all to cruise again! This is a good thing and many of us are very happy about it! 🥳

Why? It’s clear that the virus spreads regardless of status. And if you are vaccinated, why do you care if someone else isn’t? 
 

I get why the cruise lines started with the vaccine requirement. But it’s silly now. I had my vaccine almost year and a half ago. It’s meaningless at this point.

 

 

Spot on and well said!

NCL has now dropped their vaccine requirement for all but a few destinations effective Sept 3. They have also dropped testing for vaccinated travelers.

 

🙂 

 

It's almost over 🙏🏻

Watch for Royal's in the next day or so.  

Great news! 🥳

I know this probably won't be popular opinion and I won't engage any arguments. Retired health care worker..  And now since the majority Population (meaning more than half) has received the vaccine, the non vaxxers are in the minority. Keep vaccine requirement in place but drop testing. if you choose to forego the vax, I respect your choice (but I still dont understand) but your choice does come with consequences

I have two RN's and one Doctor in my family and they all disagree with what you are saying, I am not trying to be disrespectful to you, just stating a point. Even health care workers differ in their opinions and that is a fact. It is time to move on and get back to normal life again. The worst is over!

I agree. Anyone who is at risk of severe Covid symptoms or are immunocompromised, must protect themselves. Don't expect me to protect you at this point in time. An N95 mask is protective for anyone who is at risk.

Spot on, well said!

Well, let's crack open this nut.  First, I'm not responsible for someone who is at high risk who decides to cruise (or do anything else).  They are.  Second, lots of people are exposed on a regular basis and no one tests to go shopping, out to eat, to movies, etc. Everyone is responsible for themselves and just like they've always done, anyone at high risk of any illness needs to take care of themselves.  Testing is far from perfect.  I understand you're afraid, but by your argument no one should go anywhere or do anything without testing first in case they might expose someone.

BRAVO! Well said, I agree 100 percent!

BRAVO NCL! 😂 🤣!

Great to see to this finally happen! I posted that this was going to happen sooner then many thought it would and I was correct. Time for all to get back to cruising YEAH!

Nobody stops you to test yourself before, during or after the cruise. You can also wear a mask and socially distance yourself onboard and be vaccinated. 

Exactly and well said!

Lets hope they all end these restrictions and soon!

Time to end all these restrictions, well over due!

you are missing the whole point.  Restrictions will not be lifted until the islands change their rules.  Carnival will not risk not having a ship full of people with no where to go

I'm NOT missing the point, you do not seem to get that restrictions are lifting world wide and it is happening fast. That is a good thing NOT bad thing. Time to go back to normal, some people are just going to have to deal with that.

We have one person in our party of six who is unvaccinated. I see that you may do cruises from FL without a vaccine (as long as there is not a stop in Bahamas). Wondering what the on-board experience is like, from anyone who may have sailed in this manner. Thank you 

Hopefully they remove the jab restriction soon.

Good it is about time, now it is time to remove all the restrictions and go back to normal cruising. No more jab and no more testing!

Do you guys think Royal will drop vaccination requirements for guests to cruise by end of this year? 

Hopefully yes and hopefully sooner then that! Anyone who tells you they know for sure, must have a crystal ball.

In general, I find the people in government work are the bottom of the barrel in their chosen field. It usually is an indication that they could not succeed in the private sector of their business for whatever reason.

They could be highly educated and highly intelligent, but just unable to work in a collaborative environment. I call these the "purple cloaks" in the governmental agencies. Those people clocked in purple think they are the rulers and of royalty and need to be treated as such.

In general, worry when someone is in a government job. Most Doctors, or virologists, or scientists, went into that field never uttered they wanted to be in a governmental agency upon entry into those fields.

Spot on!

CLIA has 1 client and 1 goal. The promotion and profitability of the Cruise Line industry.

CDC on the other hand has the health, safety, and well-being of an entire nation.

 

While the CDC may have made some missteps in this entirely new and unprecedented pandemic, I'll go with the CDC here.

Missteps? More like total disaster, they are worthless.

The science hasn't changed. The virus particles have always been able to go through the majority of the masks.  N95 masks offer protection to the person wearing them.  That won't change.  What will change is society's ability to accept that covid is here to stay and they can accept the risk of living without wearing a mask.  The people who don't want to accept the risk have the option of constantly wearing N95 masks.

SPOT ON!

Oooooh check out the new CDC Cruise ship Status Dashboard.  Its sooo pretty.  And now orange is is the new yellow.  CDC still cant bring itself to admit that Cruising is safer than being on land so it was  highly doubtful they could bring themselves to revise protocols like masking and heaven forbid lower the level 4 travel advisory against cruising.

So very true!

The first cruise line that drops ALL protocols and acts like normal pre March 2020 will be my

new cruise line.  
 

Mandates are crumbling around the world……..it won’t be long they will all go mark my words.  

BINGO!
