This is "ancient history" but my finest score was Johnny Walker Blue (750ml) on Med Equinox sailing in the summer of 2010. Some kind of "special" w/o the fancy box @ $99.00 each. Purchased 3-bottles which at the time were $140.00 in most other places.
That's because our party of four, booked the early dining slots in July/Aug of 2021! Don't feel too bad as we had to make some concessions even then (which I found very surprising).
No guarantees... it's all about the ODDS. Odds are that those least likely to get infected (& infect others) and suffer the least with break-through infections are those who are fully vaccinated & boosted. The odds get worse from there 😞
Good thing you're checking. On some ships it's almost impossible to get a "higher end" stateroom (JS, Aqua, etc.) without breaking RULE #1 (not under the pool or under/above a public area)
#1 Not saying it doesn't happen BIT have never heard of this on-board practice
#2 Would this still be occurring today what with all the shortages & supply issues?
