Re: Coronavirus
I think Saga have lost the plot.
You dont get a certificate or a badge when vaccinated.
On top of that, they want you to take a test & full medical screening as well.
I would start looking elsewhere for a cruise, there is being careful, and there is OTT madness, they are taking option 2.

Having seen the number of cruise ships involved in Covid chaos the last thing they want/need to be is sued for being absolutely negligent.
Worst case scenario is days at sea unable to dock anywhere, when finally docking customers lose days (weeks) in isolation and flights home.
Not really the kind of advert to stimulate demand either. They are far more likely to find themselves in court for breach of contract.

I think it absolutely makes sense for a cruise of OAPS.

Re: Coronavirus
One thing forgotten in all this clamour for vaccination certificates is, the vaccines do not guarantee to prevent you catching Covid-19, but are designed to reduce the impact should you do so. Another reason for making sure you get the booster/fixing dose in a timely manner.

A booster dose doesn't make you immune either or doesn't mean you can't get it and pass it on. People thinking the vaccine is the end of the story are mistaken. Normal isn't going to happen, a new normal will evolve.

The BBC 6pm news is reporting that there's new evidence that the UK's new variant of the virus could be more more deadly than the original virus.

Indeed. The way that i've heard people talking, you'd think that everything will be going back to how it was once the vaccine has been rolled out.

That’s how science works - if they’re sure, they’ll tell you; if they’re not sure, but it’s a possibility that a greater harm could happen, it would be unethical not let people know.
If they hadn’t said anything, they would have been accused of a cover-up/not listening to the scientists.

I already have a passport, how hard can it be to add a stamp to that, like Visas, no need for a whole new system.

And by what mechanism could they ever conclusively prove it? Are you going to volunteer to be in a confined space with others and then deliberately infected, in order to prove it, one way or the other?

At a guess it'll go beyond the aviation industry, potentially to allow access to concerts/sports venues or other close contact large gatherings.
