I haven't heard anything either and I've been getting all the notifications from Paul Gauguin and the Tahiti Tourism board. I wonder as well...

This is from the Tahitian Tourism board as of this morning. I'm following the July 29th thread closely as I'm booked on the 14 day, August 29th Marquesas Islands cruise.  

Mr Dominique SORAIN, High Commissioner of the Republic, and Mr Edouard FRITCH, President of French Polynesia, announced this afternoon the results of the sampling of all passengers and crew members aboard the Paul Gauguin cruise ship . The results of the RT-PCR tests are all negative.

As a result, passengers will be able to disembark from the cruise ship within the next hours and join a place of confinement.
Prior to disembarkation, all passengers will be required to sign a declaration to respect a period of quarantine.

They will then be quarantined for a period of seven days, either at home for local residents or in an individual accommodation facility for non-residents.
This quarantine period will be monitored by the Public Health Surveillance Office (PHSO). 
 
In addition, the High Commissionner's sanitary platform will be in daily contact with all persons in quarantine in order to verify the evolution of their state of health, compliance with containment measures and their ongoing presence at the place indicated for quarantine.

In order not to take any risk, at the end of this observation period, each person monitored will be tested one more time by RT-PCR test.

The health protocol implemented and the early measures applied by the cruise liner made it possible to rapidly detect and isolate the confirmed case of Covid-19, limiting the chain of transmission aboard the ship.

Moving forward, this health protocol will be reinforced with the obligation for all cruise passengers to carry out a self-test before boarding the ship.

Wow, thank you for the insight....I'm sure we wouldn't be in the cabin that much either, but hubby is thinking he'd really like a larger cabin....

I'm so glad to hear from you that the food and atmosphere is wonderful. I have read about the line and am anxious to experience it. We too have cruised many times, larger and smaller ships (smallest was 16 pax to Galapagos) and really do appreciate the smaller ship atmosphere more.

Thank you for your reply.

Hugs,

Susie

No, I haven't looked at UnCruise....but since this line was Alaska owned, we thought it would be a better cruise. I'm excited to hear about the food and I've read the article on the company in Cruise & Travel magazine a couple months ago that got me hooked totally.

I'm still hoping to find out about the cabin. The person at the cruise line I really need to talk to wasn't in today. Maybe tomorrow!

Thanks for any input. If you think of anything else to share that would be great!

Have a good evening,

Susie

I'm excited to hear about it all! We have been to Alaska 9 times, all different itineraries and ships, over the years and were looking for something new and different. In particular I was interested in learning the difference in the Sophia deluxe stateroom on the top deck vs the deluxe stateroom on the second deck, Adolphus. I know that the lounge deck the deluxe cabin faces the window, but it says on the site that the Sophia has a slightly different layout. Would you perhaps have peaked into the cabin? It would have been right down from yours.

Anything else you feel like sharing would be fantastic. I'm really looking forward to this experience.

Thank you so much for your quick reply to my previous post!

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone out there been on Alaska Dream Cruises? I'm looking for any information and specifically anything you all might know about their ship, the Chicagof Dream. We are looking to book them for 2018. Thank you in advance!
