Lol.  An attitude that masks are pointless if you’re vaccinated?  That’s the public health consensus - is an attitude of following public health guidelines offensive to you? Or are masks just some sort of religion over across the pond? 

We have been preached to by our better for the last 16 months to follow the science, but now that the science says masks for vaccinated people are pointless we have moved on to personal attacks to coerce compliance.  

I have not worn a mask in a couple months, and I will not wear one with the exception of when I fly commercial (way too much for work).   And I only do that because of the law and I have to travel for work.  Not because it does a darn thing.

 Please don't contemplate coming across the pond with an attitude like that.

What attitude?  and why the snarky response?  I very politely stated my opinion, and what I intend to do, and you make a quite rude and offensive comment, why?

Apparently people aren't allowed to have different opinions anymore?  And if they do they are to be ridiculed and belittled?   

Got a B2B booked for September that stops in Greece.

Very simply I won't go if I have to wear a mask.  If you want to go and wear a mask, good for you.  But I am done wearing them, I don't believe they do much good, and are nothing but theater for people that are vaccinated.

Would love to do a cruise this year, but if we can't I'll do something in a State here that doesn't require masks.

Maybe it's time to let people be responsible for themselved?

Why is it any of your business if they have been vaccinated?  You have a better chance of being struck by lightening than of getting a serious case of Covid from someone if you are already vaccinated

The vaccine apparently is NOT the light at the end of the tunnel.  It's the CDC's train rolling right over you.

 

How can he CDC not realize those flimsy, disposable masks we're forced to wear aren't effective at protecting anyone?  They're just for show or to give mask shammers a purpose in life.

This is getting beyond absurd.  I went and got the vaccine, purely so we could (potentially) travel internationally later this year.  

But, why should people that aren’t traveling get it?  Especially the young and healthy.  They have a very very low (perceived) risk, and they are being told they must still do all of the same things with the mask wearing, etc.  so why bother?  

I will only wear a mask in places I absolutely have to.  I travel a lot for work, so I wear one on commercial flights.  Fortunately I fly private a lot, and no mask!!!

I live in a state that has no mask mandate.  If a store asks me to put on a mask I will, or I will politely leave (hasn’t happened yet), but other than that no.  I’m done with this farce.  Yes  Covid is real, and yes people have died, but we have turned this into a political thing to control peoples lives, and I’m done with it.  

The really good news (for me at least) is that I see and hear more and more people that just aren’t playing the game anymore.

And, please don’t respond about how I don’t care about other people.  Please show my a single study that shows ANY significant risk of transmission after full vaccination.  And while you are at it show me a really world, peer reviewed study that addresses that actual (not laboratory) benefits of mask wearing.

I'd love to see some real data on what the difference in fatalities is this year versus previous years.  

I wonder how much longer the cruise lines can continue to have billions of dollars in assets sitting still.  At some point if they aren't allowed to open up they never will.  I'm afraid that point is soon.  

My guess is the Holiday season might be the make or break for a number of lines to get reopened.

The best sommelier we have ever had on land or sea is Maggie, and she was in Luminae on Equinox.   She was amazing.  I'm sorry your experience was less than excellent.   We don't eat in the MDR anymore but if we did we'd probably just pick a wine ourselves and order it.  

We had Maggie in Luminae last summer.  She was incredible!  After the first day she didn't even ask us what we wanted, just what we had ordered, then brought us wine.  It was always good, and usually excellent.  A couple times she new before I did when I tried a wine that it wasn't my favorite and quickly replaced it with something else.

I believe she and he husband have lefty Celebrity, but she was incredible!

We were presented with a little cake and the waiters tried to sing "Happy Anniversary". Must have received information from Reservation since we didn't mention it to anyone.

There is an extra cost for anything beyond that.

Better than R/C. They wanted $14.95 for a little cake... We have always found that Celebrity is more than happy to do something small to celebrate a birthday/anniversary/etc.

I really hope he is on our cruise on 3/14.

Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks,
