I have a feeling that when the PP said "sick", they meant "sickly". As in having pre-existing conditions, such as a heart condition, obesity, etc., because they said "sick and feeble". Not "sick" as in having a fever or a cough.
I have been on seven. Not al with DCL. I was just being silly I know they want take into account pre- existing conditions or certain number high risk groups. It just seems to me this might be a possible solution to their problems. The insurance industry uses medical history to exclude and up charge their clients on medical plans so why not other industries. Most healthy people who contract the virus for example have few medical problems just mild symptoms of course there are exceptions. I’m just suggesting if you are not going to exclude certain high risk groups you should up charge them and have them provide evidence of certain insurances before departing. If they want to start cruising sooner rather than later it might come to pass. I read an example of another cruise line that came back in because a 82 year old popped positive for the virus. Everybody lost a couple of days of the trip and when on shore he tested negative twice I believe. I am fuzzy on the details but this happenied a few weeks ago I think. So who gets the shaft for a couple of days lost off the trip the 82 year who had a false positive. I’m guessing the quarantine would have been lifted after he tested negative. At lest the perfectly healthy might not have suffered through that anyway. So what happens to one happens to all. I think I will be glad to wait on cruising until cruise lines can give detailed explanations of new protcals to their guest. That is why I got so peeved when they would not inform us of their intentions for March. It should not be left up to the paying guest to roll the dice so to speak for the fcc. We all deserve more from them than a guessing game.
If by "passholder discount" you mean an onboard booking/placeholder - I don't believe there has ever been a limit on how many times you can push that forward as long as the new date is within the expiration. You could run into expiration issues, but I think OBBs expirations have been pushed out if they were impacted by the closures. I don't recall specifics - maybe May 2022? You may need to wait for the current booking to officially be canceled, though, to push it further forward.
Oh no.
Yes, the news of the last few days has brought be to a new level of Covid fatigue. I’m just so exhausted with it all.Yeah... Not looking good. This pandemic. Not under control. Nor is our way of dealing with it or living with it. Very discouraging and upsetting. I have been watching Disney movies all morning. One- because I about to cancel my June cruise because there is no way we are going. And two- the news is just too upsetting. I want to hide under my bed. I am tired. I wish this would end. Mostly to save lives. And then to save my sanity.
I know. Sometimes it even seems like the news media want us to be fearful, frustrated, and exhausted.
Yes! The more they make the news seem scary, the more people are fascinated by it and watch it. Then their ratings go up and they make more money. They don't have any incentive to report facts that aren't "exciting". The articles and clips that have the scariest information are the ones that get shared across the internet.
As well as the articles and opinion pieces that are the most divisive.
I am seeing less and less divisiveness anymore. It will soon get to the point that any dissent to the orthodox narrative will be hard to find. More and more sites, platforms, boards, etc. are gatekeeping.
