Meraviglia MUST be vaccinated !

[Shippy]

   Did anyone else just receive this text from MSC ?

Yes, they updated their website about 2 days ago when the Bahamas announced their new vaccine policies.

About damned time!

It has only been updated because of the Emergency powers enacted by the Bahamas Government currently from early September to the end of October when things may revert back.

I never get any of those as I use a travel agency.  I am fully vaccinated so should be ok.

Technically it’s the passengers that need vaccinations 🙂

I haven't gotten notified by text or email for any of the MSC changes that have been occurring. I have to watch Youtube for updates and come here to confirm.

At seems that CC is currently the best resource for updates on MSC👏

Note that the Bahamas order, as well as the updated MSC policy, applies to guests only (12 and over). Neither policy requires crew to be vaccinated. I've looked for any statements from MSC as to the vaccination status of crew on Meraviglia and did not find anything other than statements from several months back stating it was the "plan" to vaccinate crew.

 

Is there anything more definitive about crew vaccination status? I'm trying to convince my reluctant travel partner that the ship should be a managed risk. We cruised Celebrity last month specifically because nearly 100% guests and crew were vaccinated.
