need2cruisesoon Posted March 5, 2020 #126 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm on the 3/29 cruise and have an uneasy feeling that our cruise is in very real jeopardy of being cancelled. I can't see Princess or city of SF or the CDC letting current passengers disembark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no information one way or another but, it seems like the horse has already left the barn with all those passengers from the Feb 11-21 cruise already out in the general population ... going all over the globe! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible ship quarantine. Yes, I'm watching it now. Governor is sending out test kits, via the Coast Guard, to the ship. Ship isn't allowed to dock at this time.

Asking from Toronto, Canada and would like to hear what the Governor has to say. We aren’t getting too many details on this up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, she was the only ship in port that day, and I know a few people who were on that sailing. You posted this Monday, which in today's environment seems like a lifetime ago. Your post was the first mention of this situation that I had seen, and despite some posters having a negative reaction, I appreciate you putting the information out there. Perhaps those extra two days between your notification, and official information coming from Princess have helped others. To me, that is the true purpose and value of Cruise Critic. Thank you for stepping up. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard that on our news too. I'm hoping it's another virus. We all know how colds, flu, noro-virus etc., can spread on the ship. We will all know more after the Grand gets the test kits.

The Governor of California stated this in his news conference (thanks again to the CCers who provided me the link to find it!). He did make note the situation is fluid and those numbers could be either under reported or over reported. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulchili Posted March 5, 2020 #144 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Local news here in SF showed Governor Newsom addressing the issue and apparently the ship will not be allowed to dock until everyone is tested with kits that are to be provided to the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare debsjc Posted March 5, 2020 #147 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I really hope they do not quarantine passengers on the ship, like they did with the Diamond. We all know that did not work out well. Has it been stated how long it will take to get the results from the test kits being sent out to the ship, and if they are negative can everyone then disembark? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Newsom said in a press conference today. The ship, which is currently off the coast, is holding hundreds of passengers, Newsom said. The ship, which departed from San Francisco to Mexico from February 10-21, returned to San Francisco and left for Hawaii on February 21. Over 50% of the 2,500 passengers from the cruise to Mexico are Californians, Newsom said. Some of these passengers stayed and went on the second cruise to Hawaii on the same ship. They are sharing the list of passengers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health care partners to contact all individuals who were on the cruise ship." --- Edited March 5, 2020 by RSS from SF 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Governor’s press conference, he indicated it would be a quick turnaround time to get the results once the tests are administered. He stated 4 hours as the tests would be sent to a facility in Richmond. I do not recall him addressing if and when the passengers would be allowed to disembark. That decision would be made pending the test results. At risk of being labelled as passing on hearsay information, here is the link to the press conference that others so kindly shared with me in the event I misheard with all that’s going on related to this issue and our sailing on the Grand this weekend: https://www.pscp.tv/CAgovernor/1MYxNkDvBvRKw 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
