The hubby and I love to travel, especially cruising. We've been loyal customers of Royal Caribbean for over a decade. We were disappointed to hear a few months ago that they were requiring proof of vax to cruise. No way are we getting the jab. So... we figured this too shall eventually pass, and we would book a cruise when they no longer require vax proof.
Then, last week, we received an email from RC, stating the vax proof restriction has been lifted. Yippee!
But wait... not so fast. Unvaxed passengers are allowed to cruise, but RC will be charging said individuals MORE for the "privilege."
Say what??? As an unvaxed person, I'M EITHER A HEALTH RISK TO OTHERS OR I'M NOT! And please explain to me how extra passage dollars will make me "less contagious" to others around me!
We're being discriminated against for not taking the jab.
We are scheduled to cruise out of Florida for Christmas and New Year’s. We are waiting til September to cancel because we are waiting to see what they do. Like you, we are not getting the jab.
We most likely won’t be going unless all events and venues are open for all vaxxed and unvaxxed, no masks required anywhere and no extra costs associated with being unvaxxed.
My question is if they are not requiring proof of vax, does that automatically put you in the unvaxxed category? But isn’t that still requiring proof for fair treatment?
