Rare crusinbanjo Posted April 6, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2021 This just in from the Wall Street Journal this morning. NCL made "an appeal to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday, the company said it would require all passengers and crew to be vaccinated two weeks before coming on board and hopes to resume cruise operations from U.S. ports beginning July 4." https://www.wsj.com/articles/vaccine-requirements-could-be-a-booster-for-norwegian-cruise-lines-11617705000?st=w880woo6rusg6yi&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFD1 Posted April 6, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yes.... IMO, crew and passengers should be vaccinated. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idiebabe Posted April 6, 2021 #6 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yes, we'd also like to see all be required to be Vaccinated and hope the other Lines Mandate it. I really feel for the Families with children under 16 yrs old who have Cruises booked and now will have to cancel their Booked Cruises. However, it makes sense to restrict the Ships to Vaccinated Only. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted April 6, 2021 #7 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I believe that the difference with this thread is that it is comparing CCL to the other companies. At the infamous March 26 roundtable, CCL indicated that they would NOT require vaccinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djptcp Posted April 6, 2021 #8 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yes, all passengers and crew must be vaccinated. I don't know why CCL is hesitating about this obvious restriction. My humble opinion is that lots of families sail on Carnival, not so much on Holland, and with kids not vaccinated they fear they will lose lots of money. It's a greed thing. So, let HAL ships sail with fully vaccinated passengers and crew - DH and I have 4 HAL cruises booked and we want to sail! Wake up Carnival Corporation, there are more than enough fully vaccinated of us adults waiting to sail on your ships! There will probably be fewer passengers allowed to book anyway from what I have read. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that indicates planning a vaccine requirement for HAL, but not for Carnival? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are intending to get approval for at least teens, and hopefully even younger children before the start of the next school year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted April 6, 2021 #11 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I doubt the CDC will allow any cruise sip to sail without total vaccinations, whether Carnival likes it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and hope you are right. I have 2 bookings with HAL. If all passengers are not required to be vaccinated, I won’t be on those cruises. Simple. It’s a given for us and most that I know.

iancal Posted April 6, 2021 #13 Share Posted April 6, 2021 No vaccinations required would be a deal breaker for us on any cruise line. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laminator Posted April 6, 2021 #14 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Just read this. I am wondering if Carnival will have different rules across their brands.

ehogan Posted April 6, 2021 #15 Share Posted April 6, 2021 We have several cruises booked for 2022. If full vaccination of all passengers (including children and crew) is not required for these cruises we will be cancelling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted April 6, 2021 #18 Share Posted April 6, 2021 CCL Corp ships will never get started in 2021 sailing out of the US unless they fold and do as the others have done requiring ALL to be vaccinated. As far as I am concerned NCL and their ships sailing under NCLH have done the right thing and I applaud them to have the guts to do what they did yesterday. Prior to last week the cruises lines especially CCL Corp were wanting for the CDC to state that Vaccinations would be required so then they could blame the CDC and CCL would not be the bad buy telling those that refuse they could not sail. The cruise lines were essentially playing chicken on who was going to state it must be required first. CDC threw in back in the cruise lines court to take a stand. NCL hit a three pointer with their bold statement early yesterday. If CCL wants to continue playing they too will need to make this stand. Based on the article link above it does not appear they want to play. But rather may consider moving a few ships outside the US which is the opposite of previous statements from Christine Duffey. I can only hope that HAL Group (HAL and Princess) decide that their crew and passengers come first and will take a different stand on this. But the clock is ticking and they need to make a move soon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedettes1 Posted April 6, 2021 #19 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I have had COVID and am now fully vaccinated. I'll sail with anybody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted April 6, 2021 #20 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Today we made a statement with our wallet on sailing aboard a 100% vaccinated cruise. Booked an 8-day Viking Ocean circumnavigation cruise of Iceland. It appears to be one of Viking's "test" markets and only offered this year. Actually we had looked into a fly/drive trip to Iceland a few weeks ago when Iceland announced opening again and the fact that we were both fully vaccinated in February. Our 24-day HAL cruise in October has started looking dimmer and dimmer for actually sailing due to a combination of things. It is questionable if there will be any ports that can be visited plus no clear statements on vaccinations. I haven't cancelled it yet in case they actually do the canceling. The negative is that we would have made 4-star with it. Oh well, still have two with HAL for next year - providing they get their ducks in a row. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted April 6, 2021 #21 Share Posted April 6, 2021 All guest and crew must have a vaccine . It just makes sense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted April 6, 2021 #22 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) CCL's stance seems to be let the other lines do the heavy lifting and get the government to impose the order so they don't take the backlash. Seems to be working as now NCLH is the one who went to the CDC. I think if the CDC accepts NCLH's proposition CCL will waste no time in getting ready to sail Edited April 6, 2021 by Mary229 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted April 6, 2021 #23 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yes. But, if wearing a mask is required. I won't be spending money to do something "on vacation" when I can do it at home at no cost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedettes1 Posted April 6, 2021 #24 Share Posted April 6, 2021 If everyone on board a ship is fully vaccinated, there is no reason for anyone to wear a mask. However, I doubt that the CDC will admit that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy2x Posted April 7, 2021 #25 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Booked for 21 days in the Caribbean next February. Everyone should be vaccinated by then. But I have no desire to be wearing a mask on that cruise. Would be a deal breaker and force us to cancel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
