No problem Mags, we'll wait and see what P&O say, we won't be the only ones declining to have the vaccine.
Crystal Cruises are an expensive top end luxury cruise company based in America, so it would be very unlikely that we would ever sail with them.
There was an advert by Ryan Air, 'Jab & Go' and it was deemed illegal and taken down. But in any event I'll get my money back and be four grand better off and then will wait until it all dies down and book again. That's if we still want to go....
I will discuss it with Mrs Fox a bit nearer the time when we have received details from P&O.

Please consider having the vaccination as I know you are looking forward to this trip & if Mrs Fox has had her jab she may end up going on her own, as I doubt they will refund payment to anybody who has no medical reason for not having it!
Mrs Fox has also declined the Vaccine (her choice not mine) so we'll just go somewhere else. I hear that Bridlington is nice in May....

I really feel sad that you, due to your principles and the shipping company rules, have been put into this catch 22 situation.
I hope you can still work something out with them and have your lovely holiday.

Re: What's the roadmap for lifting lockdown?
If I had to choose between accepting the vaccine or losing a holiday ,I’d choose the latter .I understand fully that no one will want an unvaccinated person around them . So be it . I will have to abide by both their wishes and my own .
By the way there are going to be hundreds of people not taking up the vaccination when the programme gets down to the lower age groups.

Thanks for your nice offer though Arty, and I'm sure you will have some excellent walks where you live...I've probably even done a walk or run there in the past... When I was a courier I visited more places than George Bradshaw......
