I Booked a Cruise That Doesn't Require Vaccines (In an Inside Cabin!)

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses the reopening of the cruise industry in the United Kingdom and the varying vaccination requirements among different cruise lines. While many major lines like P&O and Princess require guests to be fully vaccinated, which effectively excludes children, others like Royal Caribbean and Celebrity offer a middle ground by allowing children to cruise with a negative coronavirus test. The creator explains that because they will not be vaccinated for some time due to age, they must choose from specific lines that do not mandate vaccines. They highlight Viking Cruises, which uses on-board laboratory technology for testing, and MSC Cruises, which has successfully operated in Europe since last July. The creator details the safety protocols used by MSC, including the removal of self-service buffets and the implementation of double testing for unvaccinated passengers. Ultimately, the creator concludes that they feel safer following strict protocols on a cruise ship than in general public spaces. They reveal that they have booked a four-night cruise on the MSC Virtuosa for 500 pounds to experience how cruising operates under current health regulations.
