Royal Caribbean submits plans for test cruises?

[dswallow]

It's been pretty clear the last few days that it is Royal Caribbean's intention to require vaccinations from all passengers who, of whatever, are eligible to be vaccinated, and that the sole exceptions are those below approved vaccination age, and some determination of those medically unable to be vaccinated, or those with some somehow-provable religious inability to be vaccinated. So, whether they pursue restarting with a minimum vaccination percentage or restarting via the concept of test cruises, the vaccination requirement for passengers will basically be the same. It may only affect how many non-vaccinated passengers (aka kids, mostly) they could accept on any given sailing.

 

All subject to changes, of course.

That's what I think -- it's in RCI's best interest to have as many vaccinated passengers as possible to avoid an outbreak.
