Who told you?

Well, that would be a helpful discussion. I knew I didn’t forget any discussion Fromm a knowledgeable source.

HaHa, I don’t remember anyone with any knowledge saying that and I have a great memory

🤔. Who said that?

I knew the gym wasn’t good for you. 😉

Congratulations on your DH clearing quarantine, I hope you can clear soon.

Seems like a built in way to guarantee customer dissatisfaction

Thanks. I hope you have better luck on your replacement cruise.

A quick question for those who have contracted Covid, do you have any idea how you were infected? Was it a crowded theatre, someone coughing on a bus, etc?

I don’t know what you have in terms of documentation for the insurance but I would try to get a copy of the positive test result with the date showing when you got sick. The insurance may get a lot more difficult once you disembark.

I’m starting to think there might be a lot of Covid on this cruise. We have two people on this thread and the people at the next table at dinner said they had just been released from quarantine and this is a sampling from the small CC community.

I guess there’s the incentive to report as early as possible. If you wait a couple of days to report, you still have to remain quarantined for 5 days even though you will be testing negative by then

I could never do the webinars without the wine and I’m afraid it’s the wine that puts me to sleep

Are the spouses also quarantined to the room if they don’t test positive?

Everything with Covid changes by the day. We caught Covid in October on the Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity copied our passports and took us off the ship through a gangway that is used by the crew. Celebrity arranged for limo service and picked us up by the dock. We only needed to go to downtown Fort Lauderdale but I think they would have taken us anywhere reasonable.

I hope you recover quickly. Does HAL offer any additional services on disembarkation day? Perhaps, you can bypass customs and go straight to the airport. Does HAL get you a ride to the airport?

Do you have any idea how many people are currently infected on the Rotterdam?

It probably wasn’t advertised, the date of the special dinner was probably blocked out so you could not make reservations until very close to the cruise. The Rotterdam still has not completed the menu for Valentine’s Day so it’s difficult to advertise.

That’s sometimes tough to do if you fall asleep during the webinar.

I may never go back to Celebrity. The Rotterdam is a beautiful new ship and all of the crew are very friendly. I’ll probably try to stick with the new Pinnacle class ships. However much of the crew seems very new and inexperienced. I think Celebrity’s stage shows are much better but we very seldom go to shows after Covid. The Music Walk is very nice and Celebrity doesn’t have anything like it. The buffet is much nicer and is served by crew . The NY deli and Dive in burgers are head shoulders better than the Mast Grill. I do miss the Solarium. I’ve only eaten in Club Orange and the specialty restaurants so the jury is still out on the MDR. I find the food at dinner to be much better than what is currently offered on Celebrity. We ended up on this ship because of recommendations by some friends and the longer itineraries offered by HAL. We spend a lot of time on the balcony so the E-class ships are not a good fit for us. However the passengers do seem to be much older and that does take some adjustment.

Not me. Sometimes my eggs are over medium and sometimes they are a little more or a little less. I always eat them and never complain.

It must be a feature of the Navigator system 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think the question is can you see them on your itinerary after you book them. I’m on the current cruise and the Feb 11 trip as a continuing voyage and restaurants that I booked were not visible until yesterday. I also do seem to be able to book anything on the app for the rest of this cruise.

Sure, if you don’t like them don’t eat them or return them. But I don’t think it rises to the level where you are standing in the hallway in somebody’s face.

It’s amazing what some people complain about. This morning I watched some guy complain to the staff that he ordered his eggs cooked over medium and they were cooked over hard,
