Medium or large-sized gatherings and those including unvaccinated people from multiple households increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. And All people, regardless of vaccination status, should adhere to current guidance to avoid medium- or large-sized in-person gatherings and to follow any applicable local guidance restricting the size of gatherings. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html#anchor_1615134468166 I doubt a cruise would be considered a small gathering. In addition, the fully vaccinated person guidance states there is no change to the travel guidance. The travel guidance is still: COVID-19 Alert: Cases are Extremely High. Avoid Travel Travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. CDC recommends that you do not travel at this time. Delay travel and stay home to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during-covid19.html So to me it doesn't sound like it's any major breakthrough concession by the CDC that will lead to cruising in the near future. But I guess it is a baby step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we take you seriously if you say things like this to intentionally anger people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
