I do not understand why cruise lines simply do not announce right now that they will allow anyone who has had the vaccine to cruise as soon as the cruise lines have a sufficient number of people booked to leave port. This seems like a no-brainer at this point. In three months most of the usa and Europe will have had the opportunity to get the vaccine. Announce and prepare now!

Well lets see. We don't know if the vaccine will make you a non spreader of the virus. We don't know if the vaccine will stop the virus from affecting you. The word on the street is that it will make it to where you aren't as sick. We don't know how long the vaccine lasts.
There are two types of vaccines that will be distributed. One has the dead virus and one doesn't. Add same thoughts from first paragraph for both types of vaccines.
We also have been informed in the last few days of a major variant to the virus cropping up in the UK.
Short story long is we don't know what we don't know yet. To me it isn't a no-brainer yet.
I agree, we still have so much we don't know and the virus is still evolving!

I am waiting to hear about Greece allowing the US back in (Thanks #45! 
). I'm sailing Regent in July, and I think at this point they just want to know if you're negative or not.

Los Angeles extended our lock down, Zero beds in the ICU, hospitals putting up tents for rooms, not enough medical staff or equipment, bringing in military medical staff, and if things get worse (Think X-mass surge) they will have to choose who gets what care by the ones most likely to survive. I'm staying home alone with no contact grocery delivery. The next few months will not be fun.
Just stay safe. Keep us posted. This site keeps me sane.

Can't hit the like button! Sad news, but at least "they" think the vaccine will still work on the new strain.

Vaccine went quick and easy. Received the Moderna variant. Hurt less than a flu shot.
As I can only speak for the processes in the Democratic Republik of New Yorkistan, half of the vaccines received are set aside for 2nd dose - First shipment from Pfizer received by the NYSDOH was 6,000 doses. 3,000 were immediately distributed, 3,000 were kept in reserve. King Andy hasnt been updating on the number received since the first shipment.
As for the poohbahs getting it, they spout fancy words like "Assurance of Continuity of Government" or other BS like that...meanwhile the County Executive in my County is still out playing indoor pickup ice hockey, while the kids aren't even permitted to skate.
Do as I say not as I do, seems to be the motto of many poohbahs!

When the Vaccine is available to me, as per my Doctor and my prescribing pharmacist, I will receive it. As far as travel goes, outside of the area I live in, there will be no travel out of the country or province until 2022. Our daughter-in-law, who is a nurse has suggested maybe mid 2022 for a family trip. I trust the judgement of y personal health professionals as opposed to any one with a political agenda.
In the meantime we can save our travel money for one heck of a shindig, wherever the family ends up going.
Good luck to all of you and try to have a Happy New Year....
Sounds like a wonderful party in the making! Be safe and be ready for 2022... get those dancing shoes polished!
