  1. That's not true at all anymore. My local paper (major US city) had an article recently about how the area hospitals are seeing more severe flu than they are covid.
  2. This definitely needs to go. Or even if you keep the quarantine, let it be in your own room (there have been reports some have been allowed to do this), not down in covid jail.
  3. D+ was allowed in the Concierge Lounge last week on Serenade. Granted the D+ couple we met in the lounge hit Pinnacle that week so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
  4. Navigator/LA cruises are insanely high for some reason. Granted those prices might not be right but one I've been tracking is nearly twice the price of one on Voyager.
  5. This wouldn't be so bad if cruise ship elevators actually were reliable. When I'm on deck 3, want to go to deck 9 and I have to wait for the elevator that's going up to deck 12 to return because the 2 others hanging out on deck 5 don't feel like participating, well...
  6. I don't think it'd ever be worth it to pay that much for a cruise just for Mickey and Minnie.
  7. Must be a regional thing. It's very hard to find in my area, even though the local health departments keep promoting it. And it's not at all a reasonable expectation that what amounts to a small clinic carry a full formulary of all drugs that someone could possibly need. And paxlovid isn't even recommended for everyone.
  8. If you don't want to deal with the limitations of sailing on a small 24 yr old ship, RC does have newer ones. Otherwise yes, she'll show her age and limited entertainment possibilities.
  9. And this is what the next and final step is to getting back to normal. Acknowledge the current state of what covid is and live with it and stop treating those who test positive so poorly.
  10. I couldn't tell you the name of any CD I've ever cruised with nor any experiences that start with "remember how great the CD was?"
  11. There's also the onboard stress of knowing if you end up testing positive, you get put in jail and treated like you have the plague when you have other people coughing up a lung left and right walking around with no one batting an eye.
  12. A lot of things that are a cold for most aren't a cold for some. But until you ask the cruise lines to be ready to treat every viral condition on board, then asking the same just for covid isn't worth it. Besides, paxlovid is nearly impossible to get on land (unless you're right or famous) none the less on a shi
  13. The emulsion that consists of sugar, oil and stabilizer was self-serve last week.
  14. Covid is not running high on ships, especially compared to on land. Most people testing positive on a ship would never bother getting tested on land
  15. Once your profile is set up submitting trip takes just a few minutes. Then despite giving you a qr code, if you scan your passport at customs, you won't need to show the qr code as arrivecan is linked to your passport
  16. Mac and cheese varies a lot. Some ships it's actual mac and cheese and others it's buttered macaroni with a slice of American cheese on top
  17. The children's menu is more of a pub food menu than portions geared towards kids
  18. I assume it's supply chain. In March they had legit bread. Pre covid they had 2-3 kinds of gf bread
  19. Serenade right now only has burger buns for gluten free bread
  20. Tip well and you can get about anything in the suite lounge
