The Cruise industry has always had a PR issue when it comes to any spread of disease, especially now. Cruise lines want to portray safety and trust to earn that $$ from their passengers and potential passengers, any covid headlines puts that in jeopardy. I'll add 3) (from the other thread), cruise lines need healthy staff to continue sailing. If that means that passengers coming onboard need vaccines, so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure. I waited all winter for the horrible death that was going to come to me because I was unvaccinated. So people will still go on cruises sick and get sick as well as the same on land. We need to go back to normal and just be more cautious when you are sick and try and avoid others as much as you can. your experience as an unvaccinated person isn't inclusive of everyone who is unvaccinated. And to be honest, your flippant attitude about how you are unvaccinated and didn't get the horrible death is especially disrespectful to those who died unvaccinated because they were unfortunate enough to catch covid before the vaccine was available, not to mention disrespectful to the unvaccinated and vaccinated people who have died from covid after the vaccine was available.

Elismoots Posted July 19, 2022 #180 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm a Canadian who just returned from a 9 day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas on Saturday. My spouse and I are double vaccinated with 2 boosters. We had a negative PCR test upon embarkation. On the day following the cruise, we discovered we had an unwelcome souvenir from our trip. We both woke up ill and using a home covid test found we both had covid. After dodging the bullet for 28 months and taking a chance on a twice delayed cruise booking, we got nailed by the virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-Covid life didn't allow for people to be sick or stay home when sick without the consequence of loss (financial, social, vocational). We need to be better about preventing what we can, otherwise this weird value of American individualism is going to be the downfall of what we have left of a society. I agree with that part as now you can get paid for 5 days if you have covid. Maybe some other illnesses should allow that too without you having to take your own days. That way more people wouldn't feel like they need to be out when they are sick and then get others sick also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I click on that link, it shows data from April 04, 2021-May 28, 2022 (at the top of the first big chart). Are we looking at the same data?

Not helping the matter is that many companies (pre-COVID) have eliminated "sick" days and have just lumped that time into PTO. It's not surprising that when it's your own time you're using, people are no longer "sick". 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseygirl629 Posted July 19, 2022 #197 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Our cruise is August 12th and I am now very anxious about what will happen. I hope they keep both the vaccine and pre-cruise testing requirements as it is a sense of security. At least if I catch it on board, I know everyone was as careful as possible. It's mind-blowing to me how many selfish people there are on here who say will get on a cruise with Covid just because they don't want to miss out on a vacation they have been planning for months. If I test positive, I will do everything I can to prevent spreading it to others. Just crazy others aren't willing to do the same.

Thankfully my case was very mild while his wasn't. If Covid wants to find you, it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we didn't do (which we always do at home) was wear a mask in public spaces. There were a handful of people doing this besides the staff who all did. Live and learn. Good luck with your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
