Plenty of time for crew to do their quarantine after the board then get vaccinated and trained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixbirches Posted June 30, 2021 #27 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just checking what I think I understand about this process… Since they are doing test cruises on Oasis out of NJ, this means there won’t be a 100% vaccinated passenger cruise requirement? I also also they aren’t doing test cruises for Alaska cruises from Seattle since there is a 100% requirement for vaccinated cruises there. Trying to understand and be clear on all this… I’m just trying to make sure I understand what is happening on Oasis. Not trying to start a political discussion.

Correct, but the hurdles for unvaccinated seem to be getting higher every day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smplybcause Posted June 30, 2021 #30 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Royal is doing the test cruises because with previous numbers they can't hit 95% unless they turn away cruisers under 12. They don't want to do test cruises. The Florida law means they won't require it off adults, but it seems like they will in states without said law. If they're not doing a test for Alaska I could see that if the bookings of under 12 are a lower percent. So far everything I've seen says Royal will require a vaccine if you can get one outside of Florida where they'll just charge you more money.

Sunshine3601 Posted June 30, 2021 #31 Share Posted June 30, 2021 We are booked for sept oasis sailing, end of month and I am hoping that ship will be as close as possible to 100% vaccinated since kids under 12 will all be back in school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixbirches Posted June 30, 2021 #32 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Does anyone know if these cruises in September and October will be reduced capacity or full capacity? I haven’t read any specifics about this for Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t read any specifics about this for Oasis. They have not yet said % for september, summer sailings are 50% and they will gradually increase. I think maybe 60 by september and maybe 70% by october. I'm sure they would love to be back to 100% for holiday sailings in december. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume the test would be from Florida since they can do a quick trip to Coco Cay and back, but will it then head to Cape Liberty. I guess we'll find out soon enough...

If they are doing a test cruise they are pretty much saying they won't meet the 95% vaccinated that said I am betting they will require all above the age of 12 be vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, I think they are doing the test/simulation cruise out of Cape Liberty to be prepared for the holidays when families with children will be cruising. I am booked for Sept 26th sailing and doubt there will be many children since they will all be back in school this fall. Hopefully that will mean at least 95% vaccinated passengers for most of the September and October sailings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasi11 Posted July 26, 2021 #43 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm on an October cruise on Oasis and plan to drive from Florida to board the ship. We were hoping that NJ will enforce the 95%+ vaccinated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
