harkinmr Posted June 14, 2021 #77 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Just now, mcrcruiser said: The complexity of this issue is getting worse & worse imo . THE CDC 's main job is to keep Americans safe of threats from diseases . I don't see why the cruise lines just don't require that every one must be vaccinated until this virus disappears or that proof of boosters shots is also required if the virus lingers year after year The "complexity" above is only required in Florida, and not because of the CDC. The ridiculous Florida vaccine status ban is requiring the cruise lines to jump through all sorts of legal hoops to bypass the ban. In other states the cruise lines will be able to demand proof right up front. You agree and show your proof at booking and at boarding or you aren't going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrcruiser Posted June 14, 2021 #79 Share Posted June 14, 2021 On 6/13/2021 at 2:24 PM, LAFFNVEGAS said: But it will also discourage cruisers not vaccinated if they have to pay upon embarkation $500.00 per stateroom, then a few days later have to pay another $500.00 and possibly yet again another $500.00. they could easily have to pay $1500.00 in addition to their cruise to be able to go un-vaccinated. I am sure quite a few will have second thoughts on this. Richard Fain the CEO of RCI Group was pretty confident that very few would be un-vaccinated and most would chose to be vaccinated when cruising with them. Imo there are legal questions here . If the cruise lines say this is what you will pay up front that is one thing but ,to charge people for that test at the embarkation pier & charge high fees will be challenged in court .I would hope that the cruise lines don't try that .Then there are other costs like airfares ,pre cruise hotels ,car rentals , meals ie before the cruise .If it were sprung on me at the embarkation pier ,there is no doubt in my mind what would happen .I am sure the legal department of Carnival Corp is researching the appropriate avenues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo that is the best way .Then we are glad that our 4 next cruises are from California ports . What a shame it is that cruise lines have to go crazy because of the Florida law .Just doesn't make any sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is in court is Florida asking injunctive relief to get the CDC to stop anything that is preventing cruises from now sailing. The odd thing is the cruise lines, who BTW have not joined in the court case, are working with the CDC now to get cruises started while the Florida law seems to be one of the roadblocks for cruises to start up in Florida.

Rare Hlitner Posted June 15, 2021 #85 Share Posted June 15, 2021 On 6/12/2021 at 2:49 PM, LAFFNVEGAS said: Holland America will be releasing their New Protocols for Risk Acceptance Policy on Monday June 14th. I would not be surprised to see the website down starting tonight and through tomorrow. With this Risk Acceptance Policy you will be electronically signing a Vaccination Attestation. This is going to be REQUIRED to get your Boarding Documents. If this is not electronically signed by the passenger prior to boarding your reservation will be canceled and you will not be allowed to check in or board. Before the voyage, you must confirm you are vaccinated (this helps ensure voyages meet the CDC guidelines for vaccinated guests) Really? We do not see any New Protocols/Contracts on any of our HAL (or Seabourn) bookings. Perhaps you meant June 14, 2022? Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense that the health assessment would be just prior to sailing but, it is requiring me to fill out the health assessment to get our boarding pass that was to be available on June 9th. So that definitely does not make any sense. eDocs need to be available at the 45 day mark we are coming into 39 days for the July 24th cruise. It was actually the eDocs I am waiting to see since that will also have information regarding the new boarding. That should also give more information regarding reuirement of vaccinations. The Covid Risk contract was actually very vaugue on pre cruise requirements which may be covered in the health assessment. Think I will call it quits for tonight and wait and see what is showing tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted June 15, 2021 #96 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Update, as of this morning still unable to do the Health Assessment which is where I am guessing the passengers states they are fully vaccinated. But there is NEW information that I think is really crazy to be this delayed. **First it states this... Check-in complete. Provided your final payment is received, Express Docs will be available approximately Wednesday, June 9, 2021 . You will be notified or please revisit Online Check-in. But Then the next thing it state is this.... Important: This is a Vaccinated cruise. It is required that you attest to having a vaccination with the final dose at least 14 days prior to departure. Sign and receive your boarding docs starting on July 13th. This is only allowing about 10 days to print your boarding pass, which tells you your time you will be assigned to check in at the pier. As I have said before this is going to be an Adventure, Many things are going to be very different and Lots of Unknown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamsno Posted June 15, 2021 #100 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I just went into my 2 separate October back to back Rotterdam cruises to read more carefully The Risk Acceptance and Cruise Contracts. They appeared with both earlier this morning and now they have both disappeared and show the same "we are working on it" type message as in the past few days. Maybe they noticed as I did that the wording for wine and soft drink carry on still showed free allowances per stateroom! However, the corkage had been updated to $20. Probably other things had not been updated as well. Unfortunately not unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
