    Canadians! NCL does not accept mixed doses of vaccines

    I suggest that a significant reason Canada ‘s COVID numbers have come down is because we have had the most stringent lock down measures in North America, particularly in Ontario, and there’s a price to pay for that too. I would just like to know how the NACI  could make a recommendation on vaccine mixing weeks ago when the WHO recently said there was currently insufficient data to form a conclusion. What data was NACI using? As mixed vaccine recipients, It will be interesting to see what happens when Justin and Doug attempt to cross the border, if it ever opens.

     

    I'm not a vaccine warrior but misinformation is aggravating.  I think you only read the poorly worded headlines.

    CRUISING TO COUNTRIES WHO DO NOT HAVE A VACCINATION PROGRAM

    If you want to go to Vietnam, just go on a land trip when the country opens up. I have been there 2 times and love it. Spending just one day in a port will not give you a very good sense of Vietnam. There are many companies in Vietnam who will put together a private tour for you, going wherever you want to. Think of it as a land cruise.


    Well, essentially replace “Vietnam” with the name of any country.

    I think in large part the reason for all the lines showing interest in cruising in Greece,  is because with or without a new or future surge or wave of virus unlike the rest of Europe Greece is betting  100% on vaccinated tourism to re-open their economy and embracing vaccinated cruising as the cornerstone to the plan, and ignoring the rest of Europe's lockdowns.

     

    So maybe we'll be adding HAL to the list of cruise lines (MSC, RCCL, Costa, Celebrity, Aida, & Mien Shief) to sail  exclusive Greek itineraries this summer (?) 

    Just imagine the queues on Santorini.

    I redid the math and it solidifies the point even more that Covid has had absolutely no effect on the US death rate in 2020. After you pointed out the original data numbers, I recalculated.

     

    2020 US Population: 331,000,000

    2020 US Deaths: 331,000,000 x 0.00888 (death rate as a percentage) = 2,939,280

    2020 US Deaths (by Covid): 361,000

    2020 US Deaths without Covid: (2,939,280 - 361,000) / 331,000,000 = 0.78% or 7.8 based per 1,000 people.

     

    The total number of deaths for 2020 are in line since 2014. Nowhere in since 1950 (where the chart begins) has there ever been a 12.5% drop in the death rate in the US from the previous year. There has never been a death rate under 8.0/1,000 people in 70 years. The only conclusion is Covid has had no impact on the death rate in the US. It simply reclassified the cause of death. It even solidifies the point that Covid was used for fear and control. 


    The only conclusion is that your numbers are wrong?  Essentially every agency and news outlet (even Fox, so maybe you’ll believe it) is reporting well over 3.1-3.2 million.  You can’t just make things up and then pretend it proves all your points.  Textbook sophistry.

    Well first of all, it's not a coffee issue - fully alert and lucid here.  But it strikes me as silly to ask people to opine on a direction to cruise when even the OP is "Not sure which port we are starting out at yet. Probably Athens or Istanbul," or for that matter where they are disembarking.  There is a world of difference between Athens and Istanbul, and any other potential embarkation ports for a Greek Isles cruise.  Nonetheless, I did offer an opinion that you and the OP are free to accept or reject as you will.  Moreover, I believe in 'self reliance', i.e., reliance on one's own efforts and abilities, interests and disinterests, to determine where they want to go in all of life.  Now, there is another opinion that you can use as you will.


    Way to add more value. 🙄
     

    Nothing to see here Gertie17.  Hopefully you’ll get some helpful advice.

    Yes there is.  The best direction is the one that YOU think is best - it doesn't matter a hoot what others think.  My preference is to end up in Venice for a few days extra vacation; YOU may have totally different desires.  I'm not sure YOU can decide if YOU don't even know where you are embarking.


    Wow. Didn’t have your coffee yet?  Clearly the OP is interested in others’ opinions....

    Oh please. The only reason it was going forward was because of an executive order.

     

    The ban was set to expire today, but was extended after the pipeline was killed. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.


    Don’t kid yourself.  The current government was secretly thrilled about the pipeline being killed.  Solves a ton of problems for them.

    You do not have to provide any fuel or provisions at your starting port.  A cruise ship needs a lot of containers of frozen and dry goods every week or so.  And you need fresh lettuce, fruit, etc.   So any day long stop at a port with a dock and access to containers on the route is all you need and of course lettuce is available down there.    Most islands and mainland Mexico have container ports so you are good.  


    I didn’t realize lettuce was so critical.
