That's good, at least it provides an out to those who may have interpreted their mask rules differently. 

Yup. It's actually on the website . It's still a drag to have to change plans at the last minute but it beats having only the FCC option.

On the other hand, the Senior Adult Celebrity Cruise for spring 2022 looks pretty good. Except for the flight/mask issue

 

What is the "Senior Adult Celebrity Cruise for Spring 2022??

No kids, Tony. 
just a bunch of older vaccinated folks like ourselves.

OK. I thought you might have been referring to an actual advertised cruise LOL!

We fall into that category and would appreciate an all adult cruise like tha.

Cheers

Yep, RCCL with grandkids, Celebrity for when just us. Plenty in this category, I would bet. 
 

however, all sorts of complications now with kids.

 Congratulations (if that's what you were looking for).

No...I was responding to a question...I guess your response wanted 😍 applause.  So given...now take a bow.  

 

Bon voyage

your choice to wear a mask while cruising, with restrictions, or not wear a mask and not cruise.  

Actually it's not that simple. Maybe for rcl?

 

My next couple are vaccinated and masks not required on the ship. We will see about liberty OTS out of Galveston in dec if they are required. 

 

It's not as straight forward as seat belts. The 95% is from cdc and could change or cruiselines could change to vaccinated and leave more kids behind. Rcl changes rules so often it's hard to keep up. .. and I dont even have kids. I doubt anyone can predict past the next few months.

The new rules announced overnight enforce that, no unvaccinated in the casino or in the spa treatment rooms.  Also unvaccinated are not permitted to take independent excursions.

Awesome!

The issue  with the kids is huge and looming, and RCL is trying to figure out a win win situation for both the cruise line which also mean the  customers.

 

The biggest issue is with Oasis class ships where so many kids will be aboard starting with Thankgiving and so many will not be vaccinated. Of course if no kids, then no parents and grandparents. And thats  the  peak season revenue (rates too) and occupancy time frame.

 

I do not  know any easy win win way around this.

 

I just would like to have a good idea/feel, "ground rules"  for those cruises by the time final payment is due mid August, just around the corner, and that trickles down to the shore excursions,  flights, car rentals, hotels etc. and planning in general.

Great.  Once the unvaxxed get hit more and more in the pocket book with testing costs...things can only improve even further for everyone else.

Cozumel still has a mask mandate in public. If your ports and the terminal require a mask what then?

We will not be going ....Masks are an absolute No Go for us....

Dont know when you are booked, and hope your ports dont require masks. I'd check first if you are that much against masks. Personally I can stay on the ship if I dont want to wear a mask in cozumel. I just want to cruise.

You are entitled  to have your own views and personal decision.

 

I will not wear a mask on a flight because I just cannot handle it, I feel constrained and my time limit for a mask is between 15 and 30 minutes. So, I do not fly.

Cabo just got some of my vacation dollars for this year.  Staying at an AI - not the same but what the heck, still sitting this dance out until they play the music I want to hear.  I'm at least glad there is more and more conversation about the recovered.  I read somewhere that some place in Europe is recognizing recovery just like the vaccinated.  Maybe policy will catch up with the science some day.

Pfizer is claiming September for their vaccine with 5-11 year-olds, so there is a chance a lot more kids will be vaccinated by Thanksgiving. Doesn't help us on our October cruise, though :(.

We are fully vaccinated and see no need to be wearing masks and social distancing on Royal ships. So if they want to do this, we will cancel along with some friends that say the same thing. They are are not going to come all the way from NE to wear masks on a ship.

 

Me too..  Thats okay.  I'll get on board when they are no longer required.  Everyone else can enjoy in the meantime!!!!
