I tried twice, and was denied both times. I always fax it to their office.

I think it was from Jamaica if picked up in port, but it could have just been from onboard infections. Someone said when they came back from Cartegena, that the ship was being cleaned from floor to ceiling all over the place..So the first cases were before Cartegena. Then they just kept multiplying. Not much you can do when cases start growing other than what the ship did--isolation, cleaning and changing the mask requirement mid-cruise. Some folks were pretty freaked out at the airport as we all starting chiming in with what we were hearing. And it wasn't hearsay, one of the people we were in line with had a relative that was isolated and told her about the buses and hotels they were shuttled to from the pier. But so far, no Covid in our house....travel sites are recommending people take a test 3-5 days after they get back home.... We will still continue to cruise. I had Covid in January, but luckily it wasn't life threatening. I am a germ freak, so I will continue to wear a mask on the airplane and crowded areas, and I carry Germ-X everywhere I go! But I still got it, and my husband didn't...go figure.

Yes, from the next morning onward. And they were really strict about it--going up to people and telling them, announcing it repeatedly in the casino and shows etc. I heard at the airport that about 400 people were put into isolation by the end of the cruise. They were taken by buses to local hotels first thing after we docked. Nothing is foolproof, but the ship tried. And you will always have people that think the rules don't apply to them and try to get away with slipping their masks down when no one is looking. But most people readily obeyed and kept them on. In the buffet areas, if they saw you without one, they handed you a mask! So not sure what else they could have done to contain the outbreak. That's a risk we all took when we boarded the ship.
