Merion_Mom Posted February 7, 2020 Author #2 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I believe that out of an abundance of caution, they will do a full ship sanitization. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend that is sailing on this ship today and she got no such notification. Her parents were on the ship that just got into Bayonne and they are safely on their ride back to NJ. She did get notified that they should show up later because they are doing extra sanitizing of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens to people on their way to the port. Are they on their own to find accommodation for the night?

Sounds like this is a recent development after that letter went out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her parents got off of this ship earlier and there was no big deal (like the one they are portraying on the news)! I'm sure if there was an issue, the CDC would have not let people off.

3monkeys4me Posted February 7, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Merion Mom was also on the previous cruise AND there are posters in another thread on these boards supposed to board today that are at the port being told they can not check bags and that boarding is delayed until tomorrow. So I expect your friend will soon find out she is not boarding her cruise today 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone needs to relax! You may not realize the OP is disembarking Anthem today. She would not have posted the “news flash” without reliable information. If such a decision was just made, it obviously takes time to notify everyone. Your friend not yet having received anything other than to show up later doesn’t mean the news flash is not true. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone needs to relax! pmck is referring to me. Haven’t received any word yet. Luckily we live 40 minutes from port and have not left the house yet. We usually head up about now, (10:30 am) but decided to wait because disembarkation was delayed this morning and because of the email from last night advising of extra cleaning today. My parents got off the ship this morning and are home now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted February 7, 2020 Author #18 Share Posted February 7, 2020 One day delay is not confirmed. I think that they are hoping for one day only. Could increase. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything normal, except as I was walking off, the Major Buckets were coming out. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toad455 Posted February 7, 2020 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Realize RCCL is scrambling, but it does put new pax in a "what are we supposed to do now" situation with where to go before RCCL officially notifies everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The traffic at the Port is indicative of the situation. We already circled out but at the time they weren't telling drivers anything.. We pulled up to the curb and even got out before anyone said anything to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think things could change drastically if any taken to hospital are shown to have the virus. They would rather not have boarding an entire ship to find that out.
