RCCL plans when cruising starts ?

[scooter6251]

NCL laid out a rather comprehensive plan to re-start cruising, new policies, etc.  When will Royal do this?

[ECCruise]

None of those plans have been approved by the CDC.  They are not a done deal.

I would imagine that RCCL is negotiating with the CDC to have an approved plan.  Until that happens no ships will be leaving or visiting US shores unless the CDC simply lets the "no sail" directive expire, which I doubt.

I understand and that makes sense.  Sorry, just anxious like everyone else, I'm sure

 

[ECCruise]

I, for one, am more than willing to let this play out to see how things will be going forward.

What will the health requirements/testings be?  What will life be like onboard?  Masks or not?  How will shore excursions be handled (the idea of tendering gives me the willies)?. How will dining be handled? So many unanswered questions.

Having sailed on an "affected" (the experience, not the virus) in March not interested at all in returning to cruising too soon.  Not willing to relive the experience of being banned from port after port (7 in total including disembarkation port), scrambling to redo travel plans (air, hotel, car) over dodgy internet and phone.  Too much uncertainty for me.

Cruising can wait.

Based on an article in the Miami Herald yesterday, the CDC has not even begun reviewing cruise lines plans for sailing with passengers again. That tells me cruises with passengers won’t be sailing to / from the US anytime soon, i.e. August.

The major flaw in NCL's released plan is that it lacks any info. on what happens if someone gets infected.  Guess all the lines are working to answer that question.

That is the question we want to know before cruising again. If one person tests positive and they still quarantine the entire ship, then we will not cruise until that no longer happens. If they quarantine anyone who tests positive and everyone else can continue the cruise as normal, then we will consider cruising at that point.

I fairly confident that will be dictated by the CDC and not left to the cruise lines to decide

One thing that bothers me about the NCL list is having a temperature taken when returning to the ship.   I don't know about anyone else but when I return from some ship shore excursions I'm overheated (especially rushing down the dock to make a late return) so I worry about it reading high just from that.  Maybe I worry too much so I'll wait and see.

the CDC needs to stick to research vaccines and leave economy to the experts, not doctors

how is the CDC going to help the 40 million without a job

I went to my dermatologist yesterday and drove there with the top down on my convertible and it was very warm outside.  They took my temp and it was 99.2. the previous day it was 98.0 at my dentist, so things like that do happen.

Why would they?  That's not their job.

[jndsilver31]

The CDC does not issue lockdown orders.  That is done by local and state officials.

Everyone, every government, and every business would kill to know the answer to that question.

you can believe thst if you want. they tell the governors what to do, they tell business to close, then we have 40 million out of a job.

[xpcdoojk]

And those who should be in prison get a get out of jail for free card, so they can burn down someone’s business

Lol you need to take off that tin foil hat!  I'm pretty sure governors and business owners are not required to listen to the CDC.

I'm pretty sure Gov DeSantis can't override the CDC no sail order.

The person I responded to was talking about jobs overall, not specifically cruising (unless there's 40 million people in the cruise industry without jobs 😯).

What?  CDC would be working on guidelines to keep people safe onboard.  What does that have to do with the "economy?"

Governors are not required to listen to the CDC.  Do you have something to show us proving that they do have to listen to the CDC, or is this just your opinion?

From some of the sunburns I've seen on people during cruises I'm sure that would wreak havoc on the temperature checks as well.
