I’m fairly certain it was. We live in 4 different households, came on different flights, due to NCL air, and were perfectly fine until day 8-9. It rained for most of the cruise, so we didn’t do excursions like we had planned. We got off in Cozumel, day 6, so while it’s possible we picked it up there, that incubation period would be rather short. (Anyway, when I say we got it on the cruise, I mean the whole thing—cruise and ports) I’m not sure why you are all having a hard time believing we got it on the cruise, when that is the likely source. It’s generally transmitted when people are in close range with other people, and for more than a few minutes, like on a crowded ship. I’m not blaming anyone!

Yes I’m certain we got it on the cruise due to the timing of the symptoms. I work in healthcare and I have a lot of experience dealing with and treating Covid. My post was just an FYI, and obviously anyone traveling, but especially cruising, has to expect a high chance of getting Covid or some other virus.

I understand. Just saying that unless you only have 1 cabin, I would not book air thru NCL.

Agreed, I was worried we would get it, and we did. Just stating facts, and not placing blame. Maybe. 5% of people were masking. (We did not…). Maybe just a warning for high risk people to vax, mask, and/or don’t go. It’s just a very high risk that you’ll get Covid, or the flu, or a GI bug, on a cruise, especially when they crowd people in like they did,

Probably ok if it’s just two of you, or 1 cabin. We had 7 cabins, and 5 cabins were coming from the Ontario, CA airport. They booked the people in those 5 cabins on 4 different flights. It was a mess, because we all left NOLA at different times, 1:45, 2:40, 4:30pm, 7 pm, and arrived at 4 different times, 8pm, 9pm, 10:30 pm, and 12:40am the next day. (Those are the approx times without including the plane delays😬). When we called to try to get on same flights they wouldn’t budge. Getting rides to/from airports was a PITA!! We’d never book air through NCL again unless just 1 cabin. The other 2 cabins were a family of 5 coming from San Fran airport. They sent two of them on one flight, and the other 3 people on another flight with 2 stops, left at 4pm and didn’t arrive till midnight.

I’ll try to write a detailed review later, but we were a party of 15, 7 adults and 8 kids, ranging from 7-70 something. Half of us starting feeling sick on 12/30, after disembarking. Some had GI symptoms, and others had stuffy nose and sore throat while in airport. We got back around midnight. Tested ourselves the next day, and half of us got Covid from the cruise. I’m not surprised with how crowded the ship is. 😟
