CDC Update

We continue to see positive trends in COVID-19 cases across the United States, with about 70% of U.S. states and territories seeing case rates fall.
The 7-day average of daily new cases is 14,143, down 10.3% from the previous 7-day period. Continue to take steps to slow the spread of COVID-19 in your community. Get vaccinated as soon as you can. If you are not fully vaccinated, take actions to protect yourself and others.
• Wear a mask over your nose & mouth.
• Stay at least 6 feet from others.
• Avoid crowds & poorly ventilated spaces.
• Wash your hands often.
If you are fully vaccinated, you can resume some activities you did before the pandemic.

Of course Florida is one of the dark blue. Go DeSantis!
Royal Caribbean told DeSantis, “Hold my beer and watch what we do. We’ll charge more fees and give them less options.”
Those who opt not to get inoculated will nonetheless have to test for COVID-19, except for tykes under the age of two. "Our unvaccinated guests must undergo additional COVID-19 testing at their own expense, and follow the health protocols described below, which are based on guidance from the CDC," the guidelines stipulate. This means multiple tests, including a pre-cruise PCR test taken no more than 72 hours prior to boarding, one at the terminal prior to embarkation and another performed on board before disembarking. Unvaccinated guests 16 and older will pay $136 per test, while those ages two to 15 will have testing costs covered by the cruise line.
Royal Caribbean also advises, "Since the majority of our guests will be vaccinated on Freedom of the Seas, there will be venues and events restricted to vaccinated guests only."
Unvaccinated guests will also need to wear their face masks more often than the vaccinated. In terms of onboard dining, passengers will also be seated separately according to vaccine status.

Royal Caribbean’s Unvaccinated Cruisers Face More Fees, Less Options
Based on Royal Caribbean’s new rulesets for the vaccinated and unvaccinated on Florida and Texas sailings, cruising uninoculated comes with more complications and less access.

When I was overseas every Monday we would be required to take a malaria pill. Not one time did anyone refuse to take it. I’m guessing it wasn’t only because we were required to, but also we knew we were all in it together. We choose to live collectively in a society and that requires an obligation to one another.
