It was safe for us to do so why not? (we are in our 60's) We booked a 15 night Hawaiian cruise for January 2022 and we NEED to cruise! My Mental health is at stake!

Did anyone fake having polio vaccines? Did anyone fake having smallpox vaccines? Those were so welcomed! 5 hours ago, memoak said: Or yellow fever immunizations. They have been required for years on just our little yellow card Nobody needed proof of smallpox or polio vaccines to travel anywhere or gain entrance to any event. Although YF immunizations were needed to travel to certain areas of the world, it was only a very small percentage of Americans that would have traveled to those areas and needed these. And, unlike with Covid-19, those who traveled to those areas were afraid enough of catching YF they wanted the inoculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since one of the posts you quoted was mine, let me explain what I was trying to say. Noone objected to ridding the world of smallpox or polio. Noone claimed they were "hoaxes". Jenner's smallpox vaccine was a new idea, yet there was not a let other people be guinea pigs reaction. And speaking of being a guinea pig, I remember reading somewhere that Jonas Salk was his own test subject for his polio vaccine. And again instead of let others do it I have my freedom, it was embraced and celebrated. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want Hawaii we fly there in five hours, if we want a local cruise we go to Alaska or Mexico.

We have been on numerous cruises & flights to all the Hawaiian islands . We too love Hawaii & at times spend 2 weeks on a island . Sea days are wonderful if you are the type of individual who likes trivia games ,learning Hawaiian dancing & instrument playing or making necklaces . Then there are the gym , pools & sauna plus lots of great food .We find sea days quite relaxing in out balcony state room & have seen gorgeous rainbows after a good rain storm at sea .All the ports are wonderful .We are headed for our next cruise yo Hawaii with over night in Honolulu ,Feb 2 ,2022 on Holland America Koningsdam R/T from San Diego . Of course we live with in a 30 minute drive to the cruise port Aloha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney is going to be a problem as over half of its pax are children. Unless children are exempt from vaccination (and, of course, Florida prohibition on vaccine passports, etc.), those boats may be somewhat empty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney* may be forced to do trial cruises as only Pfizer has finished its testing on 12-15 yr olds. SF is getting ready to vaccinate them as soon as EUA is approved / according to ABC NEWS hoping to start this week. Which would be great as our state has a hard time getting above 60% vaccination rate (40.2% fully / 19.8% partially or 1 shot) Edited May 3, 2021 by Ombud *typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a crystal ball and it says....... Oh no. The battery went dead again. If you really want to know, I can always use my 8 Ball, but it is not nearly as reliable as my crystal ball. Otherwise, I wouldn't rely on anything the CDC says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
