Two Royal Caribbean cruise passengers test positive for CovidThe guests on the cruise operator's Celebrity Millennium ship were 'asymptomatic and currently in isolation and being monitored by our medical team,' officials said. Not for nothing but it’s too easy to make a fake vaccination card. There’s no way of knowing if they’re real or not. It’s just a piece of paper. 🙄 It’s ridiculous. The problem is the “72 hours”. They need to arrive, get tested and have a negative before boarding. Not 3 days before!! If you want to cruise, a vaccination card and negative 1 hour PCR needs to be required u sure
