It's too bad that everyone who can get the vaccine get the vaccine. The world has dealt with other viruses that have been basically been eliminated by vaccines. I went on a cruise after having to reschedule twice due to Covid. I had a great time until after getting home. I might have been better off masking more, but it was my decision. I don't avoid public places or being in the public. I am doing everything I was doing pre-covid, but I do take a few more precautions. Would I cruise again? Absolutely, probably masking more though. Cruises are one, not only, place where most of us should test & be vaccinated. I would like to know who you consider "the rest of us"?

I would rather no one be able to get Covid19 while cruising, So until that happens, keep the testing going. I was vaccinated and booster twice but still got Covid, along with my wife, on our recent Alaskan cruise (June 13 - 20).

I use to order flowers for my wife on every cruise so I was disappointed when I could not for my recent Alaskan cruise. I did see many people bring flowers on board before we departed!

Figured it was something like that!

We were on the same cruise. The weather at all the ports was amazing (mid 70s to 82). Brought too much cold weather gear. We did not take the tram to the top at Icy Strait but instead wondered around town. IMHO Icy Strait might be a desired stop in a couple years but not now. Did find a small restaurant in town (Fisherman's Daughter) with amazing fish and milkshakes!! Skagway was a very fun place. Train trip was very nice. Salmon bake very tasty but I did not find enough gold to retire..... Visited the Red Onion Saloon and learned a bit of the history of the place. Wondered around downtown and checked out the breweries!! Juneau was last but perhaps the best. Went on a Whale watching tour through Alaska Shore excursions (not through RCCL as they were sold out months earlier) towards the end of the tour we stopped by a group of boats watch a young whale having fun breaching and tail splashing. We were surprised to see this whale swim towards our boat. When it got within 10-15 feet it started splashing our boat, breaching, swimming under the boat and having a good ol' time with mom watching things from 30-40 yards away. Our Captain, Branden said to never take a whale watching tour again because what had happened will probably never happen again. Very fun experience. The stop at Victoria?? Sunday night after 5 pm??? I didn't see the reason for it. We walked around, mainly through a residential area to get to the downtown area. Back on the boat by 9pm and finished packing. This was a cruise we to reschedule twice due to Covid but it was definitely a bucket-list experience. The only problem..... we both tested positive for Covid. My wife the night we got home and myself 4 days later. Nothing serious just rundown with cough and a fever. In all I agree with SKSMIKE5 that it was a great time!!

I did contract Covid the 4th day after getting home. Minor fever, cough but major tiredness. Quarantined 5 days and back to work yesterday. I suppose masking might of helped but at this point who cares!! Glad it wasn't worse.

RCL has said nothing.
