The CDC really doesn't have any input on this. As someone mentioned above, this cruise was out of Saint Maarten and never comes near the US.Honestly, I don’t know what the CDC is going to make of it.

If they are asymptomatic, I would assume they're vaccinated. As others have said, the vaccine isn't 100% effective, but if you do contract COVID its supposed to reduce the severity of your illness.
I'm going with either they lied about being vaccinated or they used fake vaccine documents.
With so many tests on passengers seems that false positives will be common.

Brings up the question they tested positive but wouldn't they test them right again? Did they test them again?
My hope is that if someone comes up positive they don't just lock you up the remainder of the cruise but actually do multiple tests at that point.
I read the PP's comment as how these positive tests might impact the CDC's thinking for cruises that do leave the US, not that the CDC had jurisdiction over this particular cruise. This cruise is a bit of a test case for everyone to watch and learn from.The CDC really doesn't have any input on this.

One of the above comments indicates that they did test them again and they tested positive the second time as well.Brings up the question they tested positive but wouldn't they test them right again? Did they test them again?

The correspondent for Points Guy was on the same shore excursion as the two positive cases, and she had to quarantine in her room for several hours while waiting on the results of her test. So yes, others who were identified as close contacts are definitely being impacted.I read the article written by someone on board. Said the cruise is going on as normal despite the 2 positive cases. Those 2 people are quarantined in their room. Doesn’t sound like anyone else’s cruise is being negatively impacted by the 2 cases.
Since they are asymptomatic, there is also the possibility that the tests are faulty.
So Celebrity is sailing with 100% vaccinations and RCL is planning not to? Interesting they aren't keeping the same requirements across their fleets.
I think Celebrity sails with far fewer children, so most if not all of their potential guests would be eligible for the vaccine. I think RCL, like DCL, has more children and so a greater percent of people that might not be vaccinated and that’s leading to the test cruises.
They were also tested a second time and both tested positive again.Out if 200 tests, the only "false positives" are in the same cabin? What would be the chances of that?
Consider the ODDS of 2 people having been vaccinated having a break through positive case of Covid. Even if they're related (couple) the sheer incidences of both of them experiencing a "break through" case is so infinestimally small, yet apparently they've both tested positive 2 times now, really the only explanation is that they weren't vaccinated to begin with and again either lied about their status or possess fake or forged vaccination documents. I'll stand by that assertion.On exactly what grounds?
On a ship of 600 having 2 people with COVID19 will not be uncommon and does not seem to be some high number. There will absolutely be people who are positive for COVID19.
Heck you had MLB players testing positive after having COVID19 and getting the vaccine and I am highly doubtful they lied about that.
