scooter6251 Posted June 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2020 NCL laid out a rather comprehensive plan to re-start cruising, new policies, etc. When will Royal do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted June 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) None of those plans have been approved by the CDC. They are not a done deal. I would imagine that RCCL is negotiating with the CDC to have an approved plan. Until that happens no ships will be leaving or visiting US shores unless the CDC simply lets the "no sail" directive expire, which I doubt.

scooter6251 Posted June 3, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I understand and that makes sense. Sorry, just anxious like everyone else, I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted June 3, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I, for one, am more than willing to let this play out to see how things will be going forward. What will the health requirements/testings be? What will life be like onboard? Masks or not? How will shore excursions be handled (the idea of tendering gives me the willies)?. How will dining be handled? So many unanswered questions. Having sailed on an "affected" (the experience, not the virus) in March not interested at all in returning to cruising too soon. Not willing to relive the experience of being banned from port after port (7 in total including disembarkation port), scrambling to redo travel plans (air, hotel, car) over dodgy internet and phone. Too much uncertainty for me. Cruising can wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted June 3, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Based on an article in the Miami Herald yesterday, the CDC has not even begun reviewing cruise lines plans for sailing with passengers again. That tells me cruises with passengers won’t be sailing to / from the US anytime soon, i.e. August. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/tourism-cruises/article243180861.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted June 3, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2020 The major flaw in NCL's released plan is that it lacks any info. on what happens if someone gets infected. Guess all the lines are working to answer that question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess all the lines are working to answer that question.That is the question we want to know before cruising again. If one person tests positive and they still quarantine the entire ship, then we will not cruise until that no longer happens. If they quarantine anyone who tests positive and everyone else can continue the cruise as normal, then we will consider cruising at that point.

I fairly confident that will be dictated by the CDC and not left to the cruise lines to decide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserhal Posted June 3, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 3, 2020 One thing that bothers me about the NCL list is having a temperature taken when returning to the ship. I don't know about anyone else but when I return from some ship shore excursions I'm overheated (especially rushing down the dock to make a late return) so I worry about it reading high just from that. Maybe I worry too much so I'll wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took my temp and it was 99.2. the previous day it was 98.0 at my dentist, so things like that do happen. Edited June 3, 2020 by mek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From some of the sunburns I've seen on people during cruises I'm sure that would wreak havoc on the temperature checks as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
