Has common sense gone out the window? I had to laugh when I read that the Cayman Islands are soon going to allow cruises to come back, and allowing people to disembark.
What is concerning to me is that the government still has not [recognised] natural immunity [in] those of us that have had COVID. Furthermore, and more importantly, those that are unvaccinated must still quarantine for seven days. Who can promise that a person on a cruise could at anytime while disembarking in another country, [not] catch COVID and be a carrier?
It is a fact that everyone, regardless of being vaccinated or unvaccinated, will or can catch Omicron. It is also a fact that Omicron can be very mild and the person may not know [they have it].
In fact, we caught COVID from a fully vaccinated individual.
It is unfortunate that the Cayman Islands can continue [to] disregard those of us that have been coming to the islands for a great number of years. There are many that have moved on to other destinations and sadly will remember the good times, before the government determined that we the unvaccinated, with full immunity, are continuously shunned.
Isn’t it time you stop with the fear and live and let live?

I for one have been to Grand Cayman every year for the past 12 years before the pandemic. I caught COVID the end of 2019 and then again in January of 2022, Omicron version. Everyone in my household had it both times everyone but me was vaccinated. I don’t see the reason for anyone needing a vaccine because the severity was the same in them and me. 2019 was the worst Omicron was no more then a head cold. I have natural immunity and am looking to travel again but because of Cayman’s policy of 7 days of quarantine and my time share is 7 days what is the use of coming to Grand Cayman? When my family comes we visit the sites and restaurants and spend an average of $3500.00 US on the island along with our friends spending the same. We are now looking into other Caribbean Islands to spend our money. Your government may want to look into changing it’s policy on COVID to better serve it’s hospitality industry.
