I agree RocketMan275;  people want some excuse to not try something new. I say if it bugs you that much about security or someone spying on you stay home.  Have fun out there.

Agree. Paranoia is spreading faster than any virus.

I'm not living in fear of viruses and will certainly continue to cruise, but isn't it a little odd that this so-called Corona Virus seems to pop up in areas with intensive 60 Ghz wifi coverage.

 

Ocean Medallion is one of the devices using 60 Ghz (5G).

This is an odd thing to say, are you trying to imply something?

Where did you hear that the OM uses 60 GHz (5G)? I know it uses BLE & NFC - I"ve never heard that it uses 60GHz (5G).

It doesn't. It only uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) & Near Field Communication (NFC). Period.

Ok, we have reached the ridiculous now since we have now stooped into cite unfounded conspiracy theories to discredit the medallion. Just don't use it if you are that frightened by fairy tales and the boogie man.

I know that your also on the March 16th sailing on the Crown. Did they send you the offer to cancel that trip if you wanted to cut your cruise short?

Our measures are designed to be flexible to adapt to changing conditions and recommended best practices. For your reference, you can read our Guest Travel Advisory.

*Date of departure is from the start date of your cruise or cruisetour, whichever is earlier.

Yes I did.

We cancelled also. No use in tempting fate especially when we were on a 3 week cruise only w few weeks ago.

The only thing positive about it is that I've been an a diet losing the weight I recently gained on the Regal. I might as well continue on the diet & get ready for all those deals that'll be coming along for the fall season when all this virus activity will be over.

My answer wasn't clear. I got the email, but we have not cancelled yet. Will evaluate next week.

We'll since you're already on the ship I might view things differently if it were me.

Good luck.

Do you notice so far that people are being a little more cautious than usual?
