We're still 13 days out from sail away, but am interested in what the Wellbeing check does if you click "Yes" to having symptoms of COVID 19 within 7 days of embarkation. I presume that it then goes on to seek further information and confirmation that it isn't COVID, but a friend of ours that just left thought that it lead to "You can't board" which is elevating our tension. That seems extremely harsh (and hence unbelievable) given symptoms could be any one of the vague symptoms including allergies, I've read the Princess FAQ from top to bottom and can't see anything that would lead to a denial of boarding short of a positive COVID Test. Surely this is incorrect

Oh no, the COVID situation has been horrendous in schools this year too. Hopefully she got her reports all finalised before that happened and was able to rest and recover early. What a bummer! -

Wow, that's fabulous. There are some really generous people in the world and it's always appreciated when people are that thoughtful. I bet she really valued that! -

I'm secondary also but the Year 12's sometimes get awesome gifts, especially if they're 18 and understand the value of boutique gin 🙂 -

I'm a teacher and can tick 4 of those boxes in the last four weeks of school 🙂 No bath bombs from my students though! -

The truth here is that the service provider was trying to exploit you by making you feel guilty for not providing a tip. They've learned that they can get away with it so they do. Don't let them bluff you or make you feel uncomfortable when they are trying to exploit you. -

Tipping isn't part of our culture and that's because our employers pay fair wage and hence you pay a higher price for everything here because it needs to cover those wages. Tipping is essentially already included in the price you pay for things. I wouldn't advise tipping anyone unless they provided extraordinary service that compelled it. -
Is there Covid on Grand Princess
RobinBancs replied to JohnnyG7's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
That's a huge R0 number! All the more reasons to start licking door handles at work this week, so I can get it and be clear by January 🙂
