GALVESTON, Texas — Carnival is implementing a new fleetwide mask policy early on Carnival Vista after several positive cases of COVID were detected on board, according to a statement from the cruise line.

According to Cruisemapper.com, the Carnival Vista is currently docked in Cozumel, Mexico. The cruise ship will be returning to Galveston once it completes its seven-day trip to the western Caribbean.

The cruise line said the mask policy was issued out of an abundance of caution.

The cruise line released this full statement below:

“We have implemented our new fleetwide mask policy early on Carnival Vista, given that we are managing a small number of positive cases on board. Our pre-established protocols of vaccinated guests and crew, testing, enhanced medical capabilities and contact tracing anticipated the potential for positive cases, and they are designed to adapt to various scenarios. We have identified and tested close contacts and anyone who tested positive is in isolation. The decision to implement the mask policy was made in an abundance of caution, given our focus on the health and safety of our guests and crew. The voyage will continue as planned and we are dedicated to continuing to provide our guests with a fun and safe vacation. We appreciate the support of our Carnival Vista guests, who have been extremely supportive as we implemented the policy Wednesday evening.”

Possible to have a more concrete infection topology?

Covid is Covid and the masks aren’t going to do a thing.

It’s pervasive.

It’s almost as if Nobody has Ever got sick on a cruise ship before the Fauci Flu was born

If the testing is using nasal swabs instead of saliva, they’re more likely to be bagging people who aren’t even infectious.

The cruise industry needs to be outlawed and shut down.

So it sounds like a boatload of fully vaccinated people left the ship to enjoy their port of call and brought the cootie back with them, causing their fellow fully vaccinated passengers to also catch it.

Tell me again, what’s the advantage to a vaxx only cruise? Soon as you let them off the ship you lose control.

so what are the consequences for those who refuse to wear masks? Get tossed in the Carnival brig? Thrown over board?
Locked in your cabin? Shadowed by thugs?

Cow lot of cruises are already sold out through some of 2022, however, that doesn’t mean they will happen.
