We just returned on the Majestic 08 December to the South Pacific. We did everything right, tested negative before embarkation, tested negative 3 days after departure, washed hands, wore masks etc etc.
My husband came down with Covid 8 days into the cruise and I came down with it 2 days after this. There was no advice on board as to the numbers infected. We are both double vaxed and had both boosters.
Some passengers ignored the mandates re hand washing etc. Masks were down around chins, 50% of noses were exposed and some just refused to wear them.
It was so disappointing, the first week of the cruise was brilliant but once isolation began, it was a most hideous experience. Treated with disdain, ignored and quickly went from having the best time to being pariahs.
To all of those that think these mandates are useless, mask wearing a waste of time, and ignore the obvious signs of infection and carry on regardless, please think of your fellow passengers and there cruising experience. Please stop this selfishness that prohibits many from enjoying their cruising experience.
