Glad to see Carnival finally following the science that Covid only spreads on cruise ships starting the 6th day.

I think they are following the stats that most covid cases from the cruise won't show up until day 6.

If that’s true, this is more theater than I thought. And I think it’s been performance art since the beginning.

 

But, it’s a start. And hopefully, momentum will continue to go towards letting people make their own risk decisions.

What have the other cruise lines been following? Including those that have nothing to do with the US?

Agree. But people are starting to see how badly they were duped and are tired of it.

 The point is it makes zero difference.

In the end yes, but it would be nice if Carnival was the first to do something  other than a smoke free ship that failed, a sky bike that no other competitor has copied or a roller coaster only copied by Dream cruises.

Many of us are comfortable just cruising and have no need for sensory overload with gimmicks other lines have. Or to subsidize those who do need. We just enjoy being at sea. The water that surrounds the ships, and the ports that they stop in, are all the same.

The sky bikes on the Vista Class or the roller coasters on the Excel Class are not sensory overloads??

I've done both but wouldn't book a cruise for either. I will do Bolt another time or two and then likely done. They are all gimmicks. Including climbing walls and bowling alleys and bumper cars and the rest of the nonsense. 

 

I am happy just watching the water go by until I forget what day it is. I'll leave the stress of trying to schedule every minute while on a cruise to the anal retentive.

We'll agree then that gimmicks are at the bottom of the list when it comes to prioritizing which cruise to book.

Relaxing with drink of choice at hand looking at the wake can be hypnotic.

FFS are you still on this? Cmon already. We get it, you think Carnival needs to "innovate" to make you happy. It's getting tired.

We are sailing out of Dover UK on the Pride in 3 weeks, we need to get a covid test.

Yet, there is  P&O ship sailing out of the UK and calling at the same ports but their passengers don't need a covid test.

Doesn't make sense.

All cruise lines that build new ships (and even some that cannot) look for edges to entice cruisers to come to them.  Whether it is a rock wall, a roller coaster, go cart track, or separate private rooms and dining, it is all for the same reason.  What attracts you, might not attract me.    It certainly is not shaming (in my view) that a line chooses during a comeback from the worst time in the history of the industry and not be bleeding edge.  What you find lacking, I applaud them for, but that is just me.  

 

What we agree on, is sitting and watching the chop churn with drink in hand.

When you find out what makes sense with this pandemic, please let me know.

So what good did any testing do? Apparently with testing, positive people are getting on the ship. So is Carnival saying if they get off before the 6th day they weren’t infectious? Only if staying on a longer cruise, even one more day, the whole ship is suddenly in danger. So the testing for any length cruise is worthless.

Two years into it, sure would be nice for you all to find something else to whine about.  Point is, we are now cruising, those that want to under the conditions currently set out, get over it (virus won, game, match) and move on...new subject people...

Exactly......the whole pre cruise pony show.....worthless.

Not everyone getting on the ship is tested. Repeat as necessary.

The increasing numbers of cruisers boarding based on document of recovery with no test.
