Whatever the procedure might be, each of us needs to make absolutely certain that our Travel Insurance will cover this in part or full...

 

In health and bon voyage

Thanks Bo193 - I called the credit card company where we have the trip insurance.  Sounds like while they have trip interruption and evacuation coverage, it would NOT cover the scenario I described.  Meaning, if we were to be found positive for COVID mid-cruise and kicked off the ship at some random port, the trip insurance coverage would only be to get us to the nearest medical center / physician and also cover the medical expenses (which our normal medical insurance already covers).  However, it would NOT cover any quarantine time in the remote location (say hotel expenses) nor would it get us home to the states. Thanks for suggesting we look into our trip insurance further  - sigh.

Thanks Arizona Wildcat.  That makes sense.  However, for me, that seems like a deal breaker as I wouldn't want to get stuck and quarantined someplace with no easy / affordable way back to the states. 

The procedures submitted by Celebrity indicate passengers need to show negative COVID testing before embarking and then temperature testing will be conducted through-out the cruise. I wonder, what does this mean for someone who gets diagnosed with COVID during the cruise?  Will they not be let back on the ship, say in Columbia or other port?  Or, will the person testing positive be let back on / remain on the Celebrity ship but quarantined to their cabin (or other location) until the ship makes it back to the final destination (say FLL)?
