Might be different in a CoVID world, but we found that you can show up early and you still get processed thru. 

I'd also advise bringing your own snorkel gear, the ones we rented were very uncomfortable.

Doesn’t matter since Atlantis isn’t a cruiseline excursion so unvaccinated can’t go. I just wanted people to know to bring documents. 

Actually, the tour to Atlantis WAS thru the Cruise line when we did it in 2019, I can't imagine its any different now.

You are aware that the vax is available to everyone right now and is very, very easy to get?

 

This has been the case for nearly 2 months here in Florida.  So everyone I'm about to see at SeaWorld has had plenty of time to make The Choice.   So as much as you may hate it, they are being responsible for themselves.  

 

At no time was anyone forced to do anything they didn't want to.  And there has been ample support for at risk persons.  Risks that are well documented and unchanged for over a year.  Risks created largely by poor choices.  Maybe you should lecture these people first. 

 

Entrusting other random persons with your safety is just naive and will only lead to disappointment and bitterness.

Yes, even if you have gotten the vaccine, you ARE trusting others with your health every time you are around them, much less in enclosed spaces like a cruise ship or an airplane. 

And not everyone can get the vaccine, and the science is still inconclusive on those with auto-immune diseases (7% of the population). 

Bottom line? Protect yourself, protect others, get vaccinated.

Well it certainly isn't likely to KILL you if you are vaccinated is it? 

 

I mean that's what they tell us; and sure, there is that 'very remote chance but they tell us how slight such is and the likely minimal consequences therefrom?

 

 

Yes, it will certainly be killing some vaccinated folks, just at a much lower rate than before.

The point, however is that there are MANY people who will never be able to get the vaccine because of other health-conditions.  This is why it is so critical that those who CAN get it, do so.  The longer it takes for herd-immunity to kick in, the more variants will be created, and the more likely that those variants will be more deadly, and more contagious. 

The argument (which I've heard) that "its a personal choice to not get the vaccine, and it doesn't affect anyone else" is completely false and definitely selfish to the max.

Not ours, it was done at a phamarcy, like Rite Aid, CVS or Walgreens.

Then they weren't doing their job right. 

I got mine at a pharmacy, and they made sure that I understood I needed to stay in the area for 15 minutes in case I had a bad reaction.

The point is the ridiculousness of still treating covid like it's ebola.  The risks, or non-risks, are well known.  Time for everyone to be responsible for themselves.  Those crew are probably at greater risk of getting staph or something else from the quarantine facility than any covid outcome.

Yea, the day that being "responsible for themselves" results in ONLY their OWN deaths, then that is a valid argument.  Until then, someone's bad choices (not getting vaccinated) WILL KILL other innocent people. 

I've seen daily specials from Royal in my email box, but if they won't required adults (at the least) to be vaccinated, it will be years before I cruise with them again.
