Royal brands are no stranger to Noro. Maybe they will do better with Covid. It is almost a given that an unvaccinated ship will be the first to have an outbreak - depending on how many passengers are unvaccinated. Meanwhile, how are Royal customers going to react to having to go through extra hoops from testing to masks to social distancing, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that will play out well 🍿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can call the unvaccinated the cooties cruise and make it 14 days since they will probably be floating around for awhile when they have an outbreak. But seriously...I have a 7 and 8 year old. Yes, all things being equal, I would rather cruise with my kids. But if it means being able to safely get and keep cruises going, I would rather cruise without them than not cruise at all. And the cruise industry desperately needs to get going again. The employees need cruises to start. The port towns and businesses that benefit from cruises need them to get going. This is about so much more than just one person's wants or vacation. By this time next year, those of us with kids will be able to cruise with them. If it means sacrificing one vacation with my kids, I can deal. You could always just not cruise if you don’t want to be with unvaccinated people. Do something else with your kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cruise is unvaccinated, Royal has a lot more to worry about. If vaccinated, no need to even be tested, unless you start getting symptoms. If I were cruising on Royal, I would be worried about an early termination of the cruise. Unvaccinated passengers mutinying over covid policy. Especially worry over not having as enjoyable of an experience of a cruise as I could have on a vaccinated cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one cruise where I literally had 3 cases of (plastic bottles) Miller Lite - each in its own small cheapie suitcase - with nothing else in there. They all three made it to our cabin. We were hosting a group of people, and had a blast. Those days are gone! Since you have now confessed to a major breaking of the rules, I hope for your sake the statute of limitations for this offense has passed.😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrieBajan54 Posted June 5, 2021 #293 Share Posted June 5, 2021 It will be interesting to find out what happens on the first cruises. Since the unvaccinated are also anti-protocols, it's likely that crew members will be assaulted like so many flight attendants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, if there are unvaccinated people early on, Carnival will read people the riot act UP FRONT - basically saying that there will be a zero tolerance (or 1 warning?) for violations... violations of whatever protocol they come up with. They can't be put in a position to have the guests bullying them, or other guests, over this. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will likely be some noise. Have zero tolerance, no warnings, and boot people off at the first port. Word will get around. Stop selling alcohol is certainly possible. I have no doubt passengers will have to acknowledge that they will follow whatever the covid rules are or risk the boot and ban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even regulate chair hogging with towels or dress code on formal night. I have seen people run in front of a person in a wheelchair to get on an elevator in front of staff and they said nothing. In my experience, CCL employees are hands off. This is part of the reason I have concerns about an unvaccinated cruise. I don't worry about getting Covid myself since I am vaccinated, but I do worry about an outbreak on the ship.
