Thinking of jumping ship!

Now they just sent an email contradicting that, saying 95%.  It's hard to hit a moving target.

If you are considering a switch to a Carnival ship departing from the same port as Allure, then the protocols will be nearly identical.

If you're that scared of a cruise getting cut short, then you probably shouldn't cruise at all, 100% vaccinated or not

 

pretty true, August is in the middle of the JASON (hurricane) months and the most likely to have a disruption of some kind. "Screw the Hurricane, I want to swim with the pigs!"

We cancelled our August cruise.  I am not yet comfortable.  We are scheduled to sail in January.  We have been vaccinated- but aren't comfortable sailing from Florida at this time.  Too many unvaccinated people. I am not afraid of getting covid, but rather carrying the virus and infecting somebody who hasn't been vaccinated.  I wouldn't enjoy the cruise or the ports now.

So Royal is the only cruise line allowing an unlimited number of unvaccinated passengers on sailings from Florida now?

[orville99]

Totally personal opinion, but for us any cruise is better than not cruising. Having said that, our least favorite cruise line would be Carnival, and prior to covid our favorite was Princess or HAL (both Carnival brands but completely un-carnival-like). We haven't sailed on Princess since we gave up flying for vacations, and gave up on them out of Florida because their Florida itineraries were getting quite stale. RCL provides us with a happy medium.

I spoke with Celebrity yesterday as we had an Edge cruise on hold , I was told that they have also removed their vaccine only restriction, they want to sail at 95% "if they can". 
who knows if it's true?

Everyone sailing from Florida are having to play by the same set of rules.

That's interesting.  I had not heard that before.  Has it been officially announced that X will allow unvaxxed to cruise out of FL ?

In the next couple of weeks, we will know a little more.  Until someone tries, we have no idea how multiple interpretations will go.

I have found that Sorrento's pizza is substantially upgraded.  I enjoyed the last time I was on Liberty.

If you feel it’s too risky, simple just cancel. The cruise ships are no fun with people who are negative nellies

Instead of jumping to a new line how about a new state? Unless Texas and Florida budge on these newly signed laws I suspect all lines sailing from those two states will be required to be open to unvaccinated passengers.

Here we go again. Galveston has vaccinated cruises from carnival and royal. 

 

Quit mixing up texas and florida. We are not the same state. So many seem confused and posting incorrect information.

 

It's been noted on the rcl site from Galveston will be vaccinated as well. I cant figure out why people think we are the same. Where do people keep getting this wrong information they post?

You are a little confided about Texas. No problem here asking about vaccines.

Congratulations you made my ignore list. Even my local news says cruise ships following federal guidelines and cdc are carved out of following texas law, but I'm sure you are just pretending to be dumb. Playing dumb just to get a reaction. You win, ignore.

Don't forget August is in hurricane season... many a cruise has had their itinerary changed because of these storms... you might consider moving to a Jan - May timeframe... by then we will know more about protocols, virus variants etc. and you won't have to worry about storms impacting your trip either.

No need for the insults. It's says they're still evaluating the law.

Omg true, I love guys burgers. Rcl doesnt have a good hamburger imo. But dont read the calorie count.

 

But I like the other lunch venues too better. Shows better on rcl. 

Carnival has really good comfort foods.
