What cruise lines need to admit to unvaccinated passengers:
sailing out of Florida ports in July and August we are strongly recommending all guests eligible for vaccines are fully vaccinated. We expect approximately 90 percent of our guests will be vaccinated. Guests who choose not to be vaccinated or not willing to verify vaccination will be subject to testing and additional health protocols which will be at their expense.”
On a video call on Tuesday, Dondra Ritzenthaler, senior VP of sales, trade support and service at Celebrity Cruises, walked hundreds of travel advisors through the protocols for summer sailings. She reiterated multiple times that on allships, 100% of the crew and 95% of passengers would be vaccinated. She also highlighted how unvaccinated passengers’ experience would be different than that of their vaccinated cruise mates.
“And we’re doing that because we don't want to say that you can't come on if you’re not vaccinated or if you don't want to show vaccination,” said Ritzenthaler. “But we want you to understand that there will be some protocols and requirements in testing that unvaccinated guests will do, that vaccinated guests will not do.”
Later in the Q&A portion of the call, Ritzenthaler was asked to clarify the mask policy. “Okay, the only folks that will need to wear a mask are the people that are in that 5% that are not vaccinated, they will wear a mask but everybody else will not wear a mask,” she said.
