Seriously, our country went through the civil war, the great depression, the Spanish Flu and fought the Nazis yet people are boo hooing because they could not get a hair cut at a professional salon for a whole 2 months OMG!!!!!! Seriously we will never survive much longer with such cry baby behavior. People want to have it both ways. They complain government is over reaching yet also complain government is not doing enough. Back on topic. Just got my vaccine and got my Covid card. Yes it should be mandatory prior to boarding. So lets bring on cruising again! Here's the thing, David. Your mockery of me is really uncompassionate and, frankly, rude. It's beneath you.

winterbliss Posted March 3, 2021 #327 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The topic could have easily asked for a simple yes or no to mandatory vaccines response, I suppose. But I thank everyone who have been offering their opinions and I hope you continue to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If vaccines are mandatory to cruise, Donald Trump and Melania will be able to board a cruise ship. They were both secretly vaccinated with their first shots in January when they were in the White House. They received their second shots as private citizens in Florida.

Try to figure it out yourself!!!!!!! it's not a topic for debate, who cares if the trumps had their shots, so did my wife and I. so did 1000's of other people. that's the point of the vaccine, to protect and possibly help eradicate covid -19/ i dont think you actually have or had a point to make, and that the whether or not the trumps had their covid shots, is completely and wholly irrelevant to the issue of cruising, im sure they havent signed up for any cruises on any ship line, nor do they have any intention of doing so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandlucy Posted March 3, 2021 #344 Share Posted March 3, 2021 If they were “secretly vaccinated”, how is it that we know about it? Putting that mystery aside, and getting to the question of why the Trumps’ vaccine would be relevant to cruising... all I can come up with is this might suggest that naturally acquired immunity would not meet a cruise line’s requirement for boarding. So a lab report showing one has had covid and recovered from it would not be a way around the vaccine requirement. I won’t be at all surprised if that turns out to be the case.

Evidently, it was just "leaked" very recently. I only heard about this two days ago. Agree with you about natural immunity not being a viable option for boarding a cruise ship. There are reports though that natural immunity lasts at least 3 months, so there is that. Edited March 3, 2021 by coffeebean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that it's believed that "natural immunity" is either not as effective or is not as long-lasting as the vaccine, this would be reasonable. People that have had COVID and recovered are still being advised to get vaccinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to the appointment and as long as he wasn't within the isolation period (he wasn't, it was a month later) they had no problem administering the shot to him.

IrieBajan54 Posted March 4, 2021 #350 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Mandatory vaccinations as a policy continues to grow for the cruise industry. "Royal Caribbean will set sail out of Israel for the first time this spring, and every passenger and crew member will be vaccinated. Starting in May, with three to seven-night journeys to the Greek Isles and Cyprus on its new Odyssey of the Seas, the cruise will leave from a port in Haifa for the first time ever, the cruise line said in a statement. Guests 16 years old and older on the sailings, along with all crew, will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19." https://www.travelandleisure.com/cruises/royal-caribbean-vaccinated-israel-sailings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
