Do you know if Royal is going to sail will full occupancy?

Kids are not a protected class and cruising is not a right.

Viking bans kids under 18 currently.

I'm not sure how denying boarding to someone without a vaccine is fundamentally different than being able to deny boarding to guests under 6 month or 12 months of age if there are 3 or more sea days in a row.  Both would be done with the safety of the guest first and foremost.

 

 

Yes...agree...Including the number of weeks at which a pregnant passenger can sail.

Requiring an unapproved vaccine that isn't widely available yet for the majority of the country.

By the time cruising resumes, anyone who wants a vaccine will likely be able to get one. And luckily, at no cost.  

 

Cruising is not a necessity, it is a luxury.  No one is forced to cruise. If the  cruise line  requires a vaccine, and a person can't or won't get one, then there are other modes of travel.    I don't see any problems.

Saga bans anyone under 50 years old.

Several prominent labor lawyers have already gone on record that private companies can mandate vaccination as a condition of employment. Not saying that a cruise line should or should not mandate vaccination, but it is entirely within their legal right to do so. The CDC has already spelled out the requirement for mandatory testing in its CSO, giving the cruise lines a really wide lane to determine what additional measures they choose to impose.

That would be Quantum not Ovation?

 I believe they are sailing full capacity next season .

If our government allows it ,They might start trials in May and ramp up for next season.

RCG Australia had a media thingo that they plan to start in May.

 

We should find out in the next few weeks.

Yes you are correct Quantam  My mistake

Currently, in Australia you must quarantine for two weeks in a hotel before you are allowed to roam around the city- So if they do allow sailing- I would assume you would have to arrive at least two weeks prior to the cruise and quarantine.  Of course you will be tested multiple times to be sure you are covid free.  This can change in November- so who knows.  I assume the ships will not sail at 100% capacity for both guests and staff- perhaps all inside cabins will not be sold or cancelled.

I am not sure where you are getting your information from but you are totally incorrect. If you arrive from overseas you have to quarantine for two weeks. If you are an Australian Citizen at this stage you do not have to quarantine.  In Australia at the moment we only have 49Cases of COvid of which most are from overseas travellers.

Since many people from overseas, want to sail out of Australia, I was referring to them.  Not those citizen's of Australia.  My granddaughter is an actress, and arrived with my son from the USA to Australia about a month ago.  They were escorted from the airport to a hotel and were quarantined for two weeks before they were allowed to move about.  Sounds like you guys have the virus under control!  Great job!

Have booked a cruise on Ovation out of Brisbane Australia in November  Does anyone know if Royal are sailing with full occupancy or because of COVID are they sailing at 50% capacity?  If anyone know I would love to hear

 

Thanks

People have been guessing at everything for the last year. Royal doesnt even know. My guess is your cruise wont happen. Vaccinations dont even matter now. This has turned into a much bigger situation with control over everyone. Goal posts keep getting moved. Pretty soon it will be that not 1 person on planet can have covid before we go back to normal. Lol...... but really I see that happening. We are all just sheep.
