Make sure all of the ports you visit also allow non-vaccinated. You don't want to pick a cruise just to find out one or more ports won't allow you in.
The aussie cruises don't verify you are vaccinated. They ask but, do not verify.
I have waited almost 2 years for some good news like this.
YAY!!! It's about time!!!
Dark, milk,or white chocolate. Coffee or tea.
CDC just announced the end of covid protests and vaccine passport!
Now the CDC has taken away all protocols on cruise ships.
The only problem on the Margarita was some of the automatic doors.
This was quietly announced over a month ago. I have done several bookings over the last month or so. Easy process.
Great steps forward, so ready to start cruising again!
Hopefully those 10% allowed aren’t made to segregate away or wear a marker indicating. Ready for complete normalcy
Norovirus outbreaks….
…. are on record for all cruise ships since the year 2000 as part of the CDC’s VSP (Vessel Sanitation Program).

Ship’s are listed by name, cruise date and include the numbers of Norovirus cases on board.

I feel the same sort of record could be made of Covid case numbers on cruise ships.
This way potential guests can better decide which ships or cruise lines are best for them, at least as far as the risk of acquiring Covid is concerned.
As has happened with the VSP program, Cruise Lines may find themselves encouraged to do what they may deem necessary to keep their Covid case numbers down to manageable levels.
Cruise guests that consider themselves Covid vulnerable can decide whether or not to sail with a particular cruise brand or ship, especially when contemplating weeks long itineraries or back-to-back cruises.
Stay Well….!
Is that 10% for kids like it is on Carnival?
We swam with nurse sharks on Belize. Great port!
The Princess cruise in Australia was mostly crew with Covid. Only 4 passangers out of the 112 people that tested positive
It’s about time!!!!
Yes and it is nice went to the Mayan ruins
I postponed my Mediterranean Cruise multiple times since July 2020. This was all due to COVID19 protocols. I've since booked for late June 2023. I crossing my fingers and hope those protocols are in the distant past.
A L L passengers need to be vaccinated to their fullest ability and ALL testing ended. Because vaccination is the best defense and a test done 72 hours or lest proves nothing at embarkation
It’s crazy to turn away perfectly healthy unvaccinated people! Cruise lines better drop these mandates and regulations if they hope to survive!
REALLY BAD STEP!!! Too many people aren't thinking this through.
Means absolutely nothing.
Princess had always a 5 % unvaccinated allowance, we booked in November and 2021 and March 2022. You just ask for an exemption letter and it will be emailed to you. Now the CDC changed the 5 % to 10 % because unvaccinated passengers don't increase the risk of spreading Covid 19. UNVaccinated passengers need to get tested the day of cruising and not like vaccinated passengers 2 or 3 days before cruising.
They are firing people over vaccination status.
But you can go Cruise in the Caribbean.
I wonder who's benefiting from this ?
