Fortunately where I live 95% of the population over 18 has had 2 doses… and yes, I know who are unvaxed. It’s a small community. 

So you never leave your community?

I’m not thrilled that unvaccinated will now be allowed on board. 
jmho. 

As long as YOU are vaxxed, you are protected from serious illness, and that's all that matters. Personally, I'm 4x vaxxed and have also had Covid - and I think everyone should sail.

I am vaccinated and boosted too and I don’t care about other peoples vaccine status either. I think everyone should be able to sail but I understand why the cruise lines have required vaccination and have been cautious about lifting the requirement. One reason is that if someone does get seriously ill they have to deal with it onboard. At this point most of the unvaccinated likely have been infected and has some immunity that will protect against serious illness. I don’t think it will be very long before the vaccination requirements are lifted. There are stumbling blocks to completely lifting it, Canada, Bermuda and the Bahamas.

Same for the vaccinated.

As a nurse, the main concern with unvaxxinated guests may be that they are more prone to getting more seriously ill. Not every case, but possible. They do have a medical center onboard, but I'm sure they do not want to be dealing with many serious cases at one time. 

Being vaccinated does not guarantee less severe case either, but tends to be that way.

If you read it says any ports in the Eastern Caribbean to stay tuned for more info. 

I know, I can read. The Eastern Caribbean situation is very fluid and disjointed.  
I stand by my statement- nothing else will change for August.
