So are your only two stops this week St Marteen and Coco Cay? 

How about the casino?

Live music in the bars/pub?

We don't do shows so that doesn't affect us.

Booked for the 1/22/2022 sailing so very appreciative of your posts.

 

Thanks!

Hello Angie, 

Yes, I forgot to mention that when they canceled PR, they added another stop. (Bahamas). So, we've done Bahamas, St. Martin and tomorrow we will hit Coco Cay.

The casino is opened. I have not seen anything unsual there and the Poker Tournament took place.

Because they don't have many shows running, the bars / pubs have been popping. Very active venues.

I would say be prepare for a limited experience. But being here would beat being at home any day. 

BTW: Don't forget your covid tests, try not to do them in miami unless you have to.

Let know if you have any other questions.

Hi thank you for replying. How is your cruise going? Are the shows back up? Any specialty restaurants closed? Do you feel the ship is short staffed? Next sailing has been notified of a 2 hr late departure for deep cleaning. Do you feel your sailing is impacted by covid?

Hello Flyguy, unfortunately, because this is our first time cruising on this line, we don't have a base to compare. But if I was to compare this line's available entertainment with MSC from two years ago, it's lacking. All I've been able to enjoy is an ISkate show, couple of comedy shows and some jazz. 

In terms of food, I'm very happy with the food and the staff. They do not appear to have been stretched thin and we have enjoyed the attentiveness and attention to detail in the restaurants we have been in. They are without a doubt on top of their food game.

Covid: Currently, we are at 2.5% covid infections. According to the captain, all those who have tested positive and those close to them have been quarantined. Having said that, my wife and I saw some unusal activity. There were lots of people living the ship on our stop in Saint Martin. We were wondering if those infected decided to go.(that was 3 days ago).

People here do not seem worry but they do wear masks when in montion.

All restaurant are opened and if I remember correctly, they were offering 25% off coupons at one point.

The two hour late departure email is common, we were also given the xtra time. We liked the idea actually, less pressure. 

If you have kids without the vaccine, the entertainment venue will be a nightmare for you. You have been warned.

Finally, they canceled Puerto Rico and Saint Thomas for us. We spent those days sailing.

Good luck.

Hello,

 

Anyone currently on Symphony?

 

Folks on the Jan 8th sailing and Jan 15th (us) would greatly appreciate some feedback from those currently onboard Symphony. I've reached out on the roll call to no avail. How are things going?

What exactly would you like to know? I'm onboard. On our way to coco keys.
