Thank you @Jimbo. I am most familiar with Celebrity, who seem to use it mostly for planned sail away events. Have not been up there on a Royal ship yet.

Is the helipad accessible only during certain hours or can you go anytime, please?

We had the symptoms of a cold, the only thing hanging on is a bit of a cough, which I undertand can trail on for weeks. I am asthmatic, so maybe a little longer for me. My partner was feeling well enough to workout on the balcony days 4 & 5, but then would relapse a bit, respiratory wise; it's a weird malady. We both missed Fiji completely and I missed our excursion in Samoa by about 2 hours; I sent my better half solo. Once cleared to move about I did disembark in Apia but just walked around a bit in town; kind of needed a planned event to make that port count, in my opinion. We kept our plans for American Samoa & Tonga without issue and did enjoy them. We were scheduled to fly out of Auckland on January 26th and departed as planned, managing to miss the atmospheric river disaster completely. Thoughts to those who were not so lucky. Hope you two are feeling not too badly, having also experienced the bug.

Isolation in our cabin for 5 days each, then carry on with cruising, requested to wear a mask. My partner was religous in wearing his mask pre-detection; the only exception was in the gym or outside.

Hello. We were B2B and tested on turnaround day January 14th. My partner tested positive and I negative, but I followed as positive when re-tested on January 15th. First time for both of us, I suppose it was inevitable.
