So we were really looking forward to a Caribbean cruise in January to escape the dismal British weather and relax in the sunshine. However, on checking through the cruise lines Covid requirements, I read that passengers need to be double jabbed with Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson. No mention of the Oxford Astra Zenica that we've had.

Our travel agent checked with the cruise line and was told that is because at the moment AZ is still not approved in America. But ... They think that it might be approved by January, so advise us to pay the remainder of the holiday. Absolutely no chance!!!

So I'm wondering how other Brits are coping who had the AZ jabs, and want to travel to the Caribbean, especially passengers who are booked on cruises. Does anyone know?


Cant help with the vaccines but my friend loves cruises and went to book one and see you have to wear a mask at all times except when in your cabin and decided not to.

Sorry to hear that. I would look into the details of what you can and cant do. My inlaws love cruises but have cancelled their next due to restrictions around day to day stuff.
Contact your travel agency, them saying they think it will be approved wont help you if it isn't. They should be open and transparent with people when booking.
 
Sweden seem to still be doing well for far less restrictions than most places.



This graph was shared directly under that tweet. Doesn’t look good when you see cumulative deaths per million.

Someone said they were only allowed off the boat on organised trips, they weren't allowed to explore the area on their own. This was a UK cruise

Yep, that's what we understand too - depending on the cruise line and destinations visited. Whilst we feel everything is improving / going back to normal gradually, I believe that masks are no longer required on board with Celebrity and the decision whether to wear one lies with each individual.

They've also dropped the booking system to visit the shops! Same with theatre. But I think unless passengers wish to sit alone or with their other half, then they are grouped on tables of six - the same time and table every day.

Just go dressed as your avatar and you'll have the whole ship to yourself :)

Dom’s straight in there 😅
 
If only. The government handled the Covid poorly, inquiry shows = new polls show conservatives +5.

I think everyone from the start knew that they had handled it poorly. From the moment we heard about the virus spreading in China and seeing how bad things were in Italy in Jan 2020, we should have gone into lockdown. But no, Bojo missed 5 COBRA coronavirus meetings and was shaking hands with people in hospital, downplaying the severity of it all. I could go on and on. 🤯😤

Thats because Labour are just as bad, there is no one to vote for!

That’s the issue. They’re all as bad as each other.
 
I never understood why they didn’t stop air travel sooner!? That would surely have slowed the spread of the virus in the early days when Italy’s rates (and other countries!) were shooting up.

My only guess is that if the Govt did stop travel, they knew airlines would be at risk of going under and they didn’t want to have to bail them out..
 
Blast!!! went to collect (stockpile 😜) lfT for emergencies from Boots but you need to apply via gov/119 etc. I'm not handing over my details for a LFT
