Lower wages , hurt on the job, that's not Disney's problem. Like many companies , go with the lowest bid to do the job

This thread might get iced, so i just want to say that as long as one has to navigate to a website more annoying to use than the parks app for the pleasure of letting disney know where i will be spending money on their property ahead of time, all covid protocols have not been removed from the resort.

We’ve been bringing our own hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes for almost as long as I can remember. It’s great all Disney restrooms (I believe) have automatic soap dispensers and water faucets so no need to touch anything.
Masks still required in medical facilities in IL as of today.

RCL wasn’t any better. Pre cruise test for all a few days before. Unvaccinated kids (12 and up must be vaccinated) then have to do another test once arriving at port. And if the cruise is a 5+ nights, another test for the unvaccinated kids the day before debarkation. 3 tests for my 4 year old last month for our cruise.

Especially since many cruise lines. Now NO longer require a test or vaccine proof.

Another reason my wife and I have NO, ZERO desires to take a cruise…I have friends that absolutely love them, but we’ll pass.

We had a great time. Minus the testing. No other protocols so it felt completely normal. Cruise staff still had to wear masks though, felt bad for them.
I know some have changed testing requirements, not sure any got rid of altogether?
We are going on Celebrity Apex in 2024...good lord I hope testing is dropped by then!

Virgin. Royal just did. Just to name a couple. There is more. Just don’t recall which ones.

I know a cruise ship is the size of a small city, but I HATE the feeling of not being in control and confinement. It’s not claustrophobia ( I get MRI’s all the time), but that’s why we always rented a car while on property…if I needed to get out, I could.
The ONE cruise I would consider would be to go to Alaska.

For RCL, that isn’t exactly accurate. They are rolling back testing for the vaccinated on shorter cruises only. Moving in the right direction though.

These Major Cruise Lines Just Dropped COVID-19 Testing Requirements for Shorter Sailings — What to Know
Carnival Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean have become the latest cruise companies to roll back pre-embarkation testing for vaccinated passengers.

If you ever go, probably want to go with a stateroom with a balcony rather than an inside one. May help with that “confinement” feeling.
Along with balcony suggestion, this time we booked a cruise with 4 port days. So we really only have 2 full days at sea where you are only on the ship.
On the way to Caribbean and on the way back!
Long before COVID cruise lines had hand alcohol dispensers at the entrance to their dining rooms with a staff person watching and encouraging everyone to use it.
Rhinovirus and flu are still a thing.

Most new ships have a row of hand washing stations before you enter the buffet.

Even older ships like the one i was just on (Although it was renovated recently). Washy washy” yelled the staff member every time you entered the buffet. It was basically mandatory as he was there ensuring all did. People were back to serving themselves so I was good with that. Lol

And to me, and just my opinion, going on a Disney cruise is like going to the Disney store (back in the day)…a TEASE…if I can’t go on HM, or FoP, CoP, etc…don’t need it.
