55 people catch COVID on Royal Caribbean cruise
NY Post ^ | 12/23/2021 | Kenneth Garger

Fifty-five passengers aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship that departed Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday have since tested positive for COVID-19, a report said.

Due to the infections, the Odyssey of the Seas, which is carrying 3,587 guests and 1,599 crew, will now bypass planned stops at Curacao or Aruba during its eight-day journey, a company spokesperson told USA Today.

People aboard with positive cases are experiencing either mild symptoms, or none at all. They, and their close contacts, have gone into quarantine.

Ninety-five percent of those on the ship are fully vaccinated – as the company requires all crew and guests over 12 to meet that criteria.

Mild symptoms or none at all. Then just go on with the cruise then. Enough of this panic BS.

Isn’t it obvious that the answer is three more booster shots for everyone on the ship???

What’s wrong with people?

Wait a minute. My local propaganda outlet says that being vaccinated will protect me. It also says I am very handsome.

RCI requires wearing a mask.

I cancelled my next NCI cruise because NCI changed it’s policies last week and now requires wearing a mask.

Here’s a question: If transmission in a hospital can’t be prevented, how the heck can you do it on a cruise ship?!

Sheesh.

The latest medical analysis indicates that 666 boosters will be required to provide full immunity.

The cruise folks better start waiting in line—it is gonna take a while to give them all those boosters!

Folks, "immunity" ain't what it used to be.

Being vaxxed, waxed, and tattooed does not prevent you from getting or transmitting COVID. It does assist your body in fighting off the virus when you do catch it.

It's time to take the long view and realize that its not a matter of if, but of when you will catch COVID.

Live your life, folks.

100% vaxxed. The shot works great, don’t it?

1.a bit less than 1 percent
2.all with mild symptoms

it’s a risk, albeit a small risk, and you should take it into account

but cruise ships are a bargain and maybe they can give you a discount on your next cruise for the number of days you’re confined to quarters

Incubator ships.

We need to stop calling them boosters. They are triple jabbed. All three shots are the same

A positive test not a case. Nor is a positive test irrefutable proof the person even has covid.

When you let the other side Define all of the terms of the debate, you will lose. Regardless of the facts.
