I still don't understand what they have against drawers in the nightstands.  These were dropped for Oasis and all ships after I believe.

475 total cases, 100 still quarantined.

I am onboard Oasis. Captain just said 475 affected, 100 still confined to cabins, but much less contact with medical since earlier in week. I am with a party of five, and four of us caught noro.

We have two Msriners booked, September and January.   No Harmony yet

 

We're not booked, but trying to go in September.  I might FINALLY cross paths with you.

That is very good! I am on the next cruise but after reading everything, I feel pretty safe about it. We are on deck 9 but several rooms away from that one. I bought the wipes that were recommended and between their cleaning and us wiping everything down as a precaution, I think we will be fine!

I, too, think you are apt to be fine as you are now forewarned and will use appropriate preventive strategies.  If you wish to know if there is tape above your future cabin door, post the cabin number, and I will stroll past.

I am curious about the CDC report on this outbreak where it says causative agent "unknown". Does that mean it's not Norovirus??? Just odd that it wouldn't say Causative Agent Norovirus. I'm booked to leave on this ship on Sunday and am very concerned.

oh my gosh, I know you don't want to be walking all over the ship but if you happen to be around 6610 and could check for tape I would be truly appreciative...I'm super worried and plan to do my own wipe down of the room regardless...but it would be good to know. headed down to Orlando tomorrow to board on Sunday if Royal Caribbean maintains their schedule for departure.

We had drawers in our nightstands on Oasis last month.

Really?  What stateroom category?  I've not seen them in Oceanview balconies, Central park balconies, or Junior Suites.

I’m scheduled to do walk a half marathon in March, so I doubt a trip around the ship will hurt!  Your future cabin has no tape above the door!

No obvious signs to indicate affected cabins.

You have no idea how this has eased my mind (somewhat at least, lol). Thanks a million! Good luck with your marathon! My husband has run quite a few and he has done numerous Triathlons but I am content to cheer him on along the course. Thank you again!!!!

We were in a suite, so maybe that's why.

If you are walking around and want to check 10655, that would be awesome.

No tape above your door.  There is tape above door straight across the hall.

See post #329.  That poster lead me to note subtle tape above impacted neighbor’s door.  Now I see others with tape as I walk around.  I cannot swear to its meaning, but a decent guess based on post 329 and my known neighbor.
