Someone from room service called him with the dining room items available for order. We very rarely eat in the dining room, 2 times in 23 days. Meals are delivered to your room. The room service menu on Ocean Now is available for all guests to utilize. Has items from Specialty Restaurants at a charge, Salty Dog Grill and the usual room service items. Did not appear to be any rotation in items.

DH was in isolation on Emerald recently and ordered all his meals from Room Service using the TV app. Soup from Crown Grill, Pasta from Sabatinis, something from Salty Dog, all at additional charge. His beverage package worked with no issues. Tried to order a bottle of wine but was denied as the bottle was not combustible. Offered him 5 glasses of the same wine at the same price.

The Hyatt Regency and Ferry Building are 3/4 mile at the most from the cruise pier. With good rolling bags it is very easy. Speaking from experience.

We have always bought limes and lemons for our Gin and Tonics on board when cruising as recently as April with no issues. You cannot take fruit off the ship. I am sure the crew will enjoy fresh cherries. I am sure the cherries will be gone by the time you reach Alaska where there could be issues.

Your estimate of a 150 quarantined from the May 1 cruise is high. We were included in this group. One on the positive bus with around 35 people, one on the negative bus with 9 passengers. None of the buses was a full capacity.

We were on the TA and subsequent British Isles cruise, disembarking May 9. DH tested positive on May 4 after developing sniffles the afternoon prior. Tested in our cabin, tested positive, called Medical and they tested him negative. Asked him to isolate for the day and would be tested the next day. Positive test, me negative. Packed up what he needed for the couple of days in isolation. Off he went to isolation. I was allowed off the ship, roam around and do whatever I wanted except eat outside the cabin. DH on the other hand orders food from Sabatinis and Crown Grill, our expense. Black and Blue soup came in a large coffee cup type container, still good. Carbonara from Sabatinis came in a cardboard container and rather solid. All meals served with biodegradable utensils. Tried to order a bottle of wine but was shot down as the bottle could not be incinerated, could be decanted into 4 glasses. He had no trouble ordering other items from the Medallion App. Assorted beverages delivered with no issues. Currently residing at the Radisson Blu at Heathrow. Free to come and go. I will test tomorrow prior to flying Monday. The issue has switched from the positive member to the negative member remaining negative. A testing site is in the parking lot of the hotel, info on booking provided at checkin. Self tests are available by the testing facilities website for pickup. Once we were loaded on the buses from the port to the hotel, negative separated from positives. Absolutely no contact with Princess since disembarkation. Fortunately I have stayed at the hotel many times in my working life. Fingers crossed I test negative tomorrow and we can fly Monday.
