Judging by the lively comments on social media and review forums, not all of the cruise line's fans are on board.
Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas will sail from Fort Lauderdale starting July 3. Vaccinations are optional.ruise lines have bent over backward to appease all sides in the Florida brawl over vaccine verifications. Sadly, it’s become abundantly clear that they just can’t please everybody.that it will begin sailing in early July from Florida with ships where vaccinations will be recommended but not required. To many, this was a curious flip-flop.
Royal Caribbean’s announcement did not hint at such concerns. Travelers could have “peace of mind knowing that all crew members will be vaccinated against Covid-19,” said the cruise line. “Guests are strongly recommended to set sail fully vaccinated, if they are eligible. Those who are unvaccinated or unable to verify vaccination will be required to undergo testing and follow other protocols, which will be announced at a later date.
Notably, there was no mention of the word “mask” in Royal Caribbean’s statement, but a two-pronged approach makes perfect sense from a health perspective, according to Dr. Vin Gupta, Affiliate Assistant Professor of Health Metrics Sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. “That’s the type of friction that should exist for those not willing to show their vaccination status,” he says.
Like it or not, Royal Caribbean’s reversal over its vaccine mandate is tainted with the stench of politics. “
