    I check in on the app to grab a check-in time slot, then do the rest on the laptop.

    The media would be all over it even if people had to test every 10 minutes while on board.

    Yes, you're right. Norovirus, which is extremely contagious and very easy to swallow a ship. So that makes sense. But for any airborne upper respiratory virus, not as much.

    That's what I'm saying. They don't force quarantine for any other illness, so it's time covid is treated that same way.

    You don't need to reserve time in Adventure Ocean anymore.

    But the CDC doesn't govern UK-based cruise companies. So the CDC decision had no bearing on P&O's decision.

    Depends on the ship, itinerary and weather.

    The interesting thing here is if they're not paying for your quarantine anymore, then there should be no more quarantine rooms either. Just have it like any other illness on board.

    They may be pre-symptomatic and spread it later, but there's no on the ground evidence that asymptomatic people are spreading it.

    P&O doesn't sail from any US ports.
  11. smokeybandit
    I don't think that'll be an issue

    Those bullets are just things to consider, not requirements of pre-cruise testing.

    If the CDC didn't mandate 1 day testing before, there's no way any cruise line would do it voluntarily now.

    Even if you get it connected to the TV, you may not be able to get it connected to wifi since you have to log into the wifi portal and not just simply connect. Some claim to get that to work on xbox, others not.

    Michael Bayley hinted last month that the end of testing was coming. I can't imagine they'd suddenly say "oh we better keep testing" because the CDC still recommends it. It's not like anyone was surprised by the "new" guidance.

    Azamara isn't a part of RCG anymore

    Cdc issued its voluntary guidance today. Which is exactly the same as the mandatory guidance, just with different auxiliary verbs

    She's just reciting back that current protocols expire Sept 30

    Putting thousands of dollars on the line on a trip that many can't reschedule any time soon because a few drops of reagent tells you you're sick even when you feel perfectly fine isn't stressful to you?

    I wouldn't recommend the RC card. It's way too difficult to accumulate points.

    All the new CDC guidance will be is replacing a bunch of "musts" with "shoulds" from the old guidance. But I'm sure RC doesn't want to rock the boat with any of its changes before the CDC issues its own.

    Of my 4 cruises since the restart only on Serenade did they have the pre-covid limited bar menu since the lounge there has its own bar set up. The other three your order went through the viking crown bar.
  23. smokeybandit
    Some bars have featured drinks and that'd be what would be on any menu, but there's a near unlimited combination of drinks that can be made
  24. smokeybandit
    While technically true by the "letter of the law" your results may vary in practice. Be nice to the concierge/bar staff and good things may happen with your drinks.

    Chocolate and Ice sounds like some 70s disco duet
