Is that why my link to a story on the blog that shall not be named...was hidden?

It was blocked because they advertise for a travel agent.

Man is it going to feel good when we have an actual boat full of paying customers pulling out of port.

So right now there is going to be one ship doing a test cruise from FL, and only a couple of thousand crew being vaccinated (not more than one ship needs).

 

So then, I am guessing no cruising from Baltimore until August maybe?  Figure you have to wait 3-4 weeks inbetween shots, and only the crew from the one ship is getting them now.  Then they may have to do a test cruise from Baltimore too eventually?

 

😞

 

Someone on another thread said crew is getting J&J one shot so that cuts done on the timeline.  

Several ships from various cruise lines have been going to port of miami, port canaveral and galveston, tx to get crew vaccinated for a couple of weeks now.

I suspect as crew fly in they will be vaccinated as they board unless they were already vaccinated from their home country.

Two years after the pandemic led to an industry-wide cruise operational pause, Royal Caribbean International’s restart plan is inching close to completion.

 

With three more ships returning soon, the company will see its entire fleet back in in action again by the end of May.
