Is it safe to go on a cruise?

Is cruising safe?

Cruise ships are mandated to have at least a 95% vaccination rate among passengers and crew. 100% of those around you onboard have tested negative within the past 3 days.

Both Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line, require all passengers age 12+ to be fully vaccinated.

I can’t think of another industry that can say that. Not even my grocery store!

Here are few facts that were recently shared with me from Royal Caribbean:

• Since August of 2021, Royal Caribbean had 500,000 guests sail on its ships. And by November, over 1 million people will have taken a cruise.

• There have only been 141 cases oc COVID reported onboard. Each of these cases were handled quickly and according to procedure, which obviously works.

• There have been no large outbreaks on any of Royal Caribbean’s ships to date.

Is Florida Safe?

As vaccinations increase, the numbers of new cases are rapidly plummeting.

Florida’s 7-day average of new COVID cases is plummeting rapidly.

For example, on September 1, Florida’s 7-day average of new cases was 20,000 per day.

Today, September 29, the 7-day average of new cases is 5,400.

There are 22 million residents who live in Florida.

MagicBands were introduced in 2013 along with the MyMagic+ program, also called My Disney Experience. If you haven’t noticed, Disney likes to create multiple names for basically the same thing: Disney Genie+ / Lightning Lane and Memory Maker / PhotoPass are good examples. It’s not that MagicBands are bad in anyway, in fact they are neat little gadgets. It’s just that we don’t need them anymore, they're outdated. Today most park people are using their smartphones instead. Yep, your phone comes with a hidden MagicBand inside. Smartwatches too. Disney World MagicMobile uses the wallet feature in your phone. If you've used your phone to pay for items in a grocery store or to board a flight, you have already used your phone’s wallet technology. If you haven’t used the your phone’s wallet feature yet, that’s ok! Disney’s app will walk you through the setup process in just a few steps. 📱 See the full article here (it's free!) https://orlandoparksguy.com/blog/magicbands-magicmobile #orlandoparksguy #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #magicband #disneyvacation #wdw #disneyparks #mydisneyvacation
