charliesdad63 Posted July 9, 2021 #426 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Currently on board also. Where are the designated sections for the unvaccinated passengers? I thought there were supposed to be areas where the kids and the unvaccinated folks had to sit (dining room, shows) but everyone is mingled together, all unmasked. Did I miss something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal is the line that separated vaccinated and unvaccinated for meals. Carnival chose to require exemptions for unvaccinated to keep the percentage under 5%. Royal let all unvaccinated people cruise. Edited July 9, 2021 by TNcruising02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Usually, Hot Roll. Penny machine with only 3 reels. Min bet is 20 cents. And that is where you will find me and my wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if you have a moment can you advise, was Carnival booking any excursions for HMC, or just sitting on the beach and the bar? Were cabana's being rented out? Been trying to look at booking a cabana for our HMC cruise in a couple weeks, but right now no excursions show up for HMC for us at all. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Royal had a lot of restrictions and requirements for the unvaccinated, so that helped keep the numbers down for them. It looks like it worked just fine for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal required everyone eligible to be vaccinated including their crew. The only difference is they allowed more children under 12 onboard without the vaccines. This only changed the percentages by a few points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that Royal encouraged everyone to be vaccinated, but let everyone cruise. I do not think Royal required exemptions. I must have been mistaken.

Frustrating. Our August 19th cruise on the Sunrise has no excursions at all listed for HMC. Not "sold out" just flat out nothing listed at all. Thanks for info! Hope you had a great cruise!

I’ve been to the Disney Island as well. It’s beautiful. I love that so far, Carnival/Holland American has kept HMC rustic and mostly natural. I really have no desire to ever visit Coco Cay again 😩. I went there in the early 90s before Royal bought the island, and a few times since. Not visited since the major “upgrades” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemson Cruiser Posted July 9, 2021 Author #450 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Half Moon Cay again today. Originally we were scheduled for Bimini, but moved to two visits to HMC last week. we had our choice of seats. Back on board was 1:45 pm so not everyone got off today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
