Meaning 2-3 hours after departure and the night before arrival...when everyone is sleeping anyway. And the honor system is working fine in the theme parks, no reason to treat the ship any different. And no, I will not wear a wrist band. It will probably clash with my outfit. Agree, dont see Colored Wrist Bands happening. Yeah, sure, watch out don't get in Elevator with them.

Well they could have one elevator for vaccinated and one for not! Maybe different water fountains, too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted May 26, 2021 Author #128 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I wonder why NCL isn't doing test cruises...is it that they haven't been approved yet or are they skipping simulated cruises altogether and going for fully vaccinated cruises?

Looking at their new cancellations today, including pulling their ship from Jamaica already, they are mostly waiting it out until November.

Good, because I'm not wearing some dirty wristband for a week. I can't wait to rip off the St. Maarten water taxi one at the end of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a code on the room key and have access only by room key on the elevators - just like hotels do for security. No vax = take the stairs. 2 minutes ago, smokeybandit said: Well they could have one elevator for vaccinated and one for not!

You're too funny! 🤣 Preferably close to the gangway -- that way when the NVs come down with CV19 they can dump them overboard first before disembarking the FVs (fully vaccinated). This way the NVs don't use the ramp and there's no co-mingling. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I amend my prediction. Early arrival and late departure from Nassau, Grand Bahama, Private Islands will satisfy the foreign port requirement. If them meant it to cover the entire voyage, then yes, they are as linguistically illiterate as they are scientifically illiterate. It also means they must defend their inconsistent guidance. No one at the CDC probably never been on a cruise ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pull numbers and mandates out of their butts and hope it either makes sense or that no one will notice that it doesn't. But isn't the Freedom Test really a 2 day cruise?
