Reliable information can be our friend!

Thanks Bob!

I qualify as “high risk” but as my November cruise is paid for, my shore excursions booked, my flight purchased, my hotel reserved, and I am fully vaxxed and planning on getting the booster in early October, I intend to mush on.

Thank you for the info.  I agree with Anne.  We'll mush along.

DD is high risk but feels we're safer on the ship than anywhere else.

I’m also high risk with psoriatic arthritis which has kicked my butt for the last almost three years, but I could go right now and get that lovely booster shot at University of TN medical center where I received my first two shots. unfortunately I need to take a rapid antigen test in exactly 18 days and I have read that it messes with the test and right now I need that Alaska cruise so I guess I will have to take my chances and hope for the best.  Linda

I couldn’t agree more.

 

I only provide information that may be of interest to the good CC crowd.

 

Another news article may be of interest from ‘Oz’:

How does one drink thru a mask? Could cause problems aboard if ever mandated, no? 😀

 

Be well.

And it is appreciated! Plus, what is a reasonable decision for me, mayn’t be for others. 
 

Not to mention, I reserve the right to change my mind depending upon how things transpire over the next month or two. My expectation— and fervent hope — is that by November the situation will be closer to this past May/June.

We’re all paid in full too still planning on cruising in November. Have until October to make it a go or no go and Two months a lot can change in the “covid “ world.  Hoping to sail again.

Or just choose to not wear one like a cruiser on the current NA cruise is reporting 1/2 the people are doing.
