Been to all 5. Stick with Italy. Food is much better than in the other places!

Gotta go where the ship goes. Still another reason why I have never been on a party or head boat, lol.

FDA approves 2nd booster shot for over 50

 

[pequa1]

Oh joy. Gonna put that off until just before our cruise and only if Viking requires something more timely than our November boosts. Always ridiculous now its a theater of the absurd.

Just got down a date and scribble a signature on that stupid paper card
One good charade deserves an other

 

[pequa1]

Not worth a criminal charge for fraud

 

[TonySmjc]

They do not lock ppl up for assault or murder looting or grand theft
Your worried about them checking your vax card

 

[pequa1]

I don’t meet the “physical” profile for a looter or murderer. Just want to get on the cruise.

 

[TonySmjc]

You do what you must
I’m just breaking your chops
But I really wouldn’t worry about anyone calling the cops on you for forgery

……
I take that back better you get it he shot if you announce the forgery here
Overboard and onacock might drop a dime

More concerned with losing pistol license or right to vote. No telling what the g.d. libs would do !

 

[TonySmjc]

The loss of pistol permit did cross my mind
But still don’t think they will be tossing up any road blocks for a guy forging a Covid Booster

I know someone that was arrested two weeks ago. All they have on him is he agreed on social media back before Jan 6 last year that Biden is illegitimate and needed to be stopped. So much for free speech. That vax card forgery could get you life lol. Messing with the lefts total control now is serious business unlike burning down city’s that gets praise and financial support from the govt clowns.

 

[TonySmjc]

They if that’s true or accurate they should be knocking on my door any minute
I’m going out on a limb and saying

it’s either not true or there’s more to it than that

Get the shot or not is up to you.

Europe is a different place. Hospitals are not what you're used to in the states. You don't want to get very sick over there. Just sayin.

Got bronchitis on the Rhine in 2019. Apothecaries were quite helpful. This is one of Viking's larger ships though with a medical staff, not a mere river barge. Not one of those 5000 passenger bacteria breeding grounds either, but well under a thousand.

Never did a trip like that, but sounds really good!

Quite honestly, we will never do another cruise on those behemoths run by Norwegian, Carnival, Princess, Royal Carib, etc.
Viking, especially the river cruises we did (Seine, Rhine), makes you feel like your long lost family is coddling you. The shore excursions are all guided by superb docents, the entire crew speaks English. Food has been as good and better than the cruises I went on previously with Princess (Alaska) and Royal Carib (Med.) Just hoping another five months helps with the china virus crap over there (and everywhere.)

Shanghai in lockdown as officials work to test all 26M residents

Officials fear the surge could turn deadly amid low vaccination rates among the elderly.

Maybe we could be nice and send them some ventilators and mask

I’m having difficulty mustering any sympathy for the Chinese their Government

not to change the subject, I may have already said this… those very big Cruises ain’t for us no more… but the river cruise we were in “TAUK TOURS “ from Paris to monte Carlos was very enjoyable… slightly more $$$ than Viking , 110 passengers…
skip greasy breakfast “there’s too much other greasy food” for +12 days…
the last ocean cruise we were on was more $$$ than bigger ships… “OCEANIA” in Caribbean @ Christmas… 1000 passengers… V.G… C22…

My dislike of being stuck anyplace for that long has kept my off cruise ships

honestly my dislike of long flights keeps me away from a lot of places even those I had wanted to visit simply are non starters due to the flight times

3 /4 hours stuck on a planes about my limit
10/12 on a boat / ship I’ve had enough for the day
