My husband and I had AstraZeneca then Pfizer. I didn't want AstraZeneca but it's all they had at the time. We are booked on 6 cruises, the first in Sept to Alaska. We will end up canceling it if they consider us unvaccinated. We aren't willing to pay fees for test at ports and onboard.

 

I expect that within time, they will modify the vaccination policy after mass cancellations. Not only that, passengers given future cruise credits can't use them unless their policy changes. What frustrates me is that cruise lines didn't notify booked passengers of the change and I will be fighting for a refund not a credit since their policy change prevents me from sailing.

Yes, the policy change certainly puts us in a rough spot, as we can't use the credit and didn't cancel within the timeline, I also hope this changes as I can't imagine giving up cruising

This was sad news and hope there is another update. Although this appears to come from the CDC, I am still confused, as the CDC also says this following statement that had me think that we were going to be good to go because we met the 28 day condition . I didn't get to pick my vaccine and will keep my fingers crossed that I do not need to cancel:

People vaccinated outside the United States

People who were vaccinated outside the United States with an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine and have received all the recommended doses do not need any additional doses. People who received the first dose of an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine that requires two doses do not need to restart the vaccine series in the United States but should receive the second dose as close to the recommended time as possible.

Some people may have received a COVID-19 vaccine that is not currently authorized in the United States. No data are available on the safety or efficacy of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine currently authorized in the United States after receipt of a non-FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine. However, in some circumstances people who received a COVID-19 vaccine not currently authorized in the United States may be offered revaccination with an FDA-authorized vaccine:

• COVID-19 vaccines not authorized by FDA but listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO)²
  • People who have received all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine that is listed for emergency use by WHO do not need any additional doses with an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine.
  • People who have not received all the recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine listed for emergency use by WHO may be offered a complete, FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine series.
• COVID-19 vaccines neither authorized by FDA nor listed for emergency use by WHO
  • People who received all or some of the recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine that is neither authorized by FDA nor listed for emergency use by WHO may be offered a complete, FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine series.

The minimum interval between the last dose of a non-FDA authorized vaccine or a WHO-listed vaccine and an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine is 28 days. Only people who have received all recommended doses of an FDA-authorized or WHO-listed COVID-19 vaccine are considered fully vaccinated for the purpose of public health guidance.³

Hi All

I am looking for a water taxi recommendation. I know most do not have actual company names but I need one with a ladder. If anyone can help with a name, specific p/u location, etc that would be great. If there are suggestions other than taking the Panga to Lover's Beach and past the Arch I am open to suggestions... my cruise does not have a tour that interests me as I want to spend time at the beach ( yes, I know there are no amenities) . Thanks in advance for any assistance.
