I would not be surprised to see it extended well into the spring of 2022. I think you are going to see more countries welcoming only fully vaccinated travelers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007colocruz Posted August 21, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Face masks are required in casinos, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzinnana47 Posted August 21, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Appreciate your posting this. Was hoping the Oct. 31st date would hold re the pre-testing requirement, but was pretty certain this change would happen sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL guests will be required to wear a face mask – with no exceptions – in elevators, retails shops, in the casino, and other designated areas except while eating and drinking. " 2) "Our Casino will resume with enhanced and frequent sanitation of all high-touch surfaces, including table game positions, slot machines, and cashier areas. Smoking will be permitted in the Casino and within our designed Cigar/Cigarette lounges." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted August 21, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2021 This was not unexpected. CDC tonight just recommended that those who are at high risk not to cruise. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/cruises/2021/08/20/cruises-and-covid-19-cdc-updates-guidance-high-risk-travelers/8218346002/ I did open the first link and it doesn't specify that back to backs have to be in the same cabin. Poor wording. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally like to go to the casino, but now we have to decide if this is for us or not. My TA had lots of cancellations today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tak8 Posted August 21, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Not a surprise, but seeing more stories about about limited testing is concerning. I am still leaning toward taking my New Year cruise, but wonder about availability right after Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelhouse Posted August 21, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 21, 2021 The CDC considers smokers as among those with travelers who are at risk for severe illness from Covid. They should avoid cruise ship travel regardless of vaccination status. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html Hit on hyperlink "people with an increased risk of severe illness" https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadn13 Posted August 21, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I think many of these protocols are here to stay, unfortunately. Taking your shoes off at airports in the US is still a thing and it's just a protocol we got use to- Unless you have TSA precheck I have a feeling some of these new protocols will be kept for the long haul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was vaccinated and by the time the shipped docked in Belize they had to take her off the ship to a hospital in Belize. Was airlifted back to OK where she was from and died a few days later. And btw she did not have insurance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and for some of the changes, that would be a good thing. Covid is not the first or the last issue. Maybe if some were in place years ago, maybe Noro would have been less of an issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted August 21, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Carnival has been allowing unvaccinated children on its cruises I don't understand why folks are doing that It is dangerous for the children as well as for the adults I have not heard of problems so far with the Princess cruises to Alaska Does anyone know more info about those cruises? Iam happy about these extra safety protocols Here on land our local live theaters are checking vax status or negative covid tests before each performance I am glad about that too! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was Carnival supposed to do? Stay in port until she got well or died? Keep her on the ship which isn't an appropriate location for a seriously ill person? The article doesn't mention "abandoned", only the eye-grabbing headline.👎 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCL & others have been really upfront (almost in your face) about the need for insurance. Frankly, I'm relieved that the protocols (vax, test, mask) are staying in place for my next cruise (December 9th: Caribbean & partial Panama Canal). 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
