CRUISES, COVID-19 AND YOUR SAFETY

If you want to cruise - get the vaccine. Period. Cruises will NOT be "back to
normal" without required vaccination proof and pre-boarding rapid testing.
Period. The majority of frequent cruisers will not accept less than a 100%
vaccinated ship - employees and guests - and a 100% Covid-free ship at time of
sailing. Common sense wins again! I have been saying this for over a year! Does
anyone really want to sail on a ship with up to 8000 total people on board,
often from over 50 countries with each country at varying stages of fighting
Covid, and with new variants sure to continue to develop?

So, Is it Safe to Cruise?

In a word, still- NO! At least, not now! And, its the same politics (and the
LACK of common sense) hurting our country that is hurting the cruise industry,
delaying its full return. Unfortunately, right now, in Florida, we are saddled
with an ultra-politiciced non-sensical Government and the worst Governor ever,
who, because of his politics, and his desire to secure favor with his "base" - a
small minority of people who are anti-mask, anti-vax, anti- anything that they
perceive to be infringing on personal liberties - has made business so difficult
for the cruise lines by not allowing them to require proof of vaccination if
they sail from Florida. That's the Great State of Florida's Governor Ron
DeSantis, who, if allowed to impose his will, his ego, and his politicized
"logic", will destroy Florida's cruise industry - and the tens of thousands of
jobs, and billions in revenue it brings to the state - will go elsewhere. And,
from a travel advisor's perspective - what about liability? Does any travel
service really want to sell a product that they know could kill you? I certainly
don't. I will not book myself, or any client, on any such "unsafe" ship. Until
Covid is 100% defeated worldwide (it WILL be years, not months) the cruise
industry MUST insist on proof of vaccination AND a negative pre-boarding test,
to ensure its future.

But wait, there is an effective vaccine for Covid-19, so TAKE IT! Get the shot!
It's safe, it's effective, and if you don't, you WILL, eventually, get Covid,
and, unfortunately, many will die. That's right, you have a choice to make.
Vaccinate or get Covid - a WORSE form of Covid than the original - and,
possibly, get very sick, and DIE! It's common sense - DON'T BE STUPID! I,
personally, have seen too many that have died from Covid that didn't have to.
People that were otherwise living their best lives, and they're gone.

I certainly do not say all this lightly! I have made the majority of my income
over the past 25 years selling cruises. Additional measures must be taken to
avoid future onboard outbreaks, should a Covid-25 or Covid-48, or Covid-??
happen. Just as scientists had been warning that this Coronavirus pandemic was a
matter of when, not if, that is the same guidance given for the next one - it is
not "if", it is "when" will it occur. Cruise lines must be ready the next time!

Since writing the above, NCL has boldly taken the first REAL step to getting the
cruise industry back to normal.

NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINES IS THE ONLY MAJOR CRUISE LINE CURRENTLY REQUIRING PROOF
OF VACCINATION. EVERY CRUISE LINE, EVERY CRUISE SHIP SHOULD FOLLOW THEIR LEAD.
NCL IS THE ONLY CRUISE LINE I CAN RECOMMEND TO MY CLIENTS AT THIS TIME!

The following is Norwegian Cruise Lines' "Sail Safe" Program, and should be the
industry-wide standard & model! It's just so simple - IF everyone is vaccinated,
each cruise WILL be back to "normal", the cruise industry will be back to
"normal, and, I suspect, and predict, that, if the entire cruise industry does
adopt a zero tolerance mandate for the unvaccinated, that the industry will see
a huge uptick in first time cruisers - and many more smart travelers, because I
see many more people opting for a cruise vacation - where they KNOW everyone IS
vaccinated and Covid-free, over a land based game of virus Russian Roulette,
where they know that at least 40% are NOT vaccinated (yes, that's today,
7/30/21, and that number will go down, but never to zero).

You want to cruise. We want to keep you safe. With Norwegian, our leading Health

ASK MISTER CRUISE - RIVER CRUISE EXCURSIONS IN EUROPE

Q? - I prefer just walking off my cruise ship and exploring on my own to taking
bus tours, I have been on several ocean cruises, and it has been a great money
saver, but next year, I am doing a Europe river cruise, and I was curious as to
how it would be there? Thank you, Jean Impellitier, Fort Lauderdale, FL

A! - Most river cruise excursions in Europe are walking tours since many
attractions are very close to the river, which was, and is, the lifeline of any
European city. Walking tours will require varying levels of fitness as defined
by each river cruise line for their excursions, and in many historic European
towns there are cobblstone streets. For those with mobility issues, slower paced
tours are usually available.

Thank you, Jean, for your great question!

Mister Cruise - Peter E Coloyan, Sr.
(To ask your cruising question, please use the form below.)

BONUS INFO FOR ALL -
Mobility issues and river cruises: For river cruise excursions that involve bus
travel, you will be required to store mobility aids beneath the bus in the
luggage hold, and climb the steps onto the coach. In Europe, excursions are
often included in the price of a river cruise, and, if included, you’ll be
wasting money if you can’t join them due to an inability to climb the stairs of
a coach..

One of the best things about a European river cruise, regardless of whether it's
on the Danube, Rhine, Moselle, or any other river, is the scenery continually
passing by as seen from the ship. Historic castles, vineyards, and beautiful
vistas often fill both banks of the river as your ship cruises by!

Accessible, or not?: There is a river cruise somewhere in the world for those
with most any disability or mobility issue. Plus, new river cruise ships are
launched every year, with more, and better, accessibility. So, don't think you
can't go just because today there may not be exactly what you want where you
want it. It may be coming next month, or next year! As river cruising grows in
popularity, the options for accessible river cruising will expand - and we will
help you every step of the way!


HOW WE WORK

With so many river cruise options, it's impossible to know which is truly the
best, and truly the most accessible, for YOUR particular needs! Without years of
experience and the knowledge and access to information that those years bring,
consumers run the risk of paying more than they need to, or getting less than
they expected to! Just talk to an expert - cruising is NOT something that you
want to, or can, in most cases, book online. Especially if accessibility is an
issue - please.don't try to do it yourself!

That is where we come in! A service of Smart Traveler, we put you in touch with
the best cruise counselors for your lifestyle and budget, and with your
particular needs in mind- and our service is FREE. -yes, it costs nothing to
utilize the services of a Cruise Expert.

In fact, we guarantee that, at the time of your initial cruise reservation, you
will never pay more than if you booked it yourself directly! In addition to
absolutely NOT paying more using our services, for over 80% of our reservations,
our customers pay less, sometimes MUCH less, than if they booked it themselves
and you have an Expert on your side!

So, please, look around, get some ideas, and whenever you feel ready for some
assistance, simply fill out the Quote Request Form.
