bubbadogmom Posted October 9, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’m happy for those people. Just frustrated it still excludes the million of us that have an AZ mix. I asked RCL if they were able to extend the cancel with no penalty date as I have only 2 weeks left for my 90 days. They said no. 😔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie201 Posted October 9, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2021 This is developing tonight. I’d give it a few days to percolate. I know the angst you are feeling but I think this is a first step and a big positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the angst you are feeling but I think this is a first step and a big positive. I'm pretty pessimistic at the moment so don't think this is good for those with AZ/Pfizer or Moderna. Cruiselines are allowing those with TWO doses of AZ to cruise. Most of the cruiselines don't specifically say AZ as being an approved vaccine as it's not recognized (or wasn't) by the CDC but was recgonized by WHO. What that means is what has been said all along. If you got the approved vaccine dose as per the manufacturers recommendation you are considered vaccinated and can enter the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am feeling very pessimistic tonight now about our AZ/mRNA mix and thisclose to cancelling our November trip 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie201 Posted October 9, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I am less pessimistic. Will be watching closely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDawg Posted October 9, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2021 So the U.S.'s CDC is not the centre of the universe after all. The U.S. will take the opinion of the WHO into account. WOW! Those folks with mixed vaccines should be jumping for joy at this news. 🥳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar13 Posted October 9, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2021 We are crossing fingers, toes, arms, legs etc etc... that the US changes their policies on mixed vaccines. DH is Astra x2 and I am Astra and Mod. At this present time, he can sail on Princess and I cannot. Final payment for us is late January so the US has time to catch up. Looking forward to being back on a ship in the near future. Karen and Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubby Posted October 9, 2021 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2021 We are also hoping. Both are AZ and Pfizer. We were also planning on spending the winter in SC, but will give that up if we can take our planned cruises. This cruise withdrawal is getting harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could take months for the big wigs to mull it over. The W.H.O. has always agreed with mixed vaccines and the CDC has continually ignored it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CDC has accepted mixed mRNA vaccinations for some time. WHO has only recently indicated that mixed AZ mRNA vaccinations are safe and efficacious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the mixed AZ and other vaccines re: cruising. I think it's important to note in terms of travelling that the CDC has allowed those with Pfizer/Moderna vaccines to get on a cruise ship. The rules for cruise ships are laid out by the CDC. They are the ones saying that a certai % has to be vaccinated. I would see that as saying that Pfizer/Moderna mixes are approved by the CDC and you will be allowed to travel to the U.S. How could they allow you to cruise but not enter the country if it's the same regulatory body? They have never allowed those with AZ/Pfizer or Moderna to cruise as a vaccinated guests. The only time that is allowed is for non U.S. (aka NOT the CDC) ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
