Had some great conversations with some great people and time went by really fast. Thanks for organizing @liam1965 That’s great hat you had HAL reps there for you M & M. @liam1965did you invite them in advance or did they just show up? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those chocolate croissants with a passion but no longer can eat them. 😭 But that omelet looks delish (and that I CAN eat!) So what's on the agenda in Juneau today for you and the kidlets? I may have had a 3rd chocolate croissant, maybe... We have a mendenhall float trip booked. Temperature is decent out but starting to become a bit more overcast. Someone from above also dropped their sunglasses and they landed and broke on our balcony. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperature is decent out but starting to become a bit more overcast. You're really being hateful! 😉 Are you doing the float trip that starts on the lake and floats down the river? If so, please report back on what you guys thought. I know it won't be terribly exciting (very little and very few rapids) but it would be something new for us to do there so have been kicking it around.

Going to be warmer than the float trip we took when we visited Grand Teton last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, sushi can help ease both of those things! Spicy tuna and spicy scallop rolls and they let me box them up and take them back to my cabin. Did you get that in the MDR?

just_cruising_along Posted August 2, 2021 #284 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Once again the Cruise Ship Color Status has gone to yellow for the NA. Just curious how this is being handled while onboard. Are passengers notified of the CDC investigation and or the results of a CDC investigation? Last week there were two cases that turned out not to be COVID related. And the color coding went to orange. Orange status means the ship has reported cases of COVID-19 but is below the threshold for CDC investigation. Yellow status means the ship has met the threshold for CDC investigation because the ship has met one of the following criteria: at or above the investigation threshold for crew COVID-19 cases, at or above the investigation threshold for passenger COVID-19 cases; or state or local health department notified CDC of passenger COVID-19 cases occurring within 5 days of disembarkation.

It is really hard to determine what the CDC chart is tracking. Is this data from the last cruise? The CDC website says: This table is updated several times a week, as needed. Last updated August 2, 2021 with data submitted July 30, 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you open the link and show all the cruise ships, it looks like every ship currently sailing in North America is either orange or yellow. Seems like the CDC is monitoring all cruise ships that are sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious how this is being handled while onboard. Are passengers notified of the CDC investigation and or the results of a CDC investigation? Last week there were two cases that turned out not to be COVID related. And the color coding went to orange. It went to Orange last Wednesday, 7/28, based on data submitted the day before, and remained that way until now turning to Yellow (and the week prior, had been Yellow for at least one day after the Test Cruise, a couple days prior to the 7/24 sailing. Is it possible these are cases stemming from the Test Cruise?). So the code was Orange during the 7/24 sailing, but passengers had not been notified of anything, and the Yellow code is based on data submitted 7/30, also during the 7/24 sailing. Based on first-hand reports aboard Carnival, they do not usually notify passengers of cases onboard (unlike Royal Caribbean and Celebrity). I don't know what HAL's approach will be in that regard. Hopefully, we'll get some information soon on this color code. Best Wishes and Safe Travels to All! Edited August 2, 2021 by syesmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barramundi is not a flavorful fish, but, if properly prepared, is tasty. Lukewarm Escargots?

Remember Paul Harvey and his radio reports on Sunday night? "And, this is the rest of the story". I heard that for many years. There is more to this "story" than pointing the finger at the internet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
