I ran across this interesting chart for use by the ship's officers and medical staff. Perhaps others will find it interesting also.

@seaomaThanks for the chart, it is indeed interesting!

With yesterday’s update (12/17), based on data submitted 12/16, Nieuw Statendam is Orange and Rotterdam is Yellow.

[syesmar]

With today’s update (12/21), based on data submitted 12/20, Rotterdam remains Yellow, Nieuw Statendam is Yellow (was Orange yesterday) and Koningdam and Zuiderdam are now Yellow. I believe this is the first time 4 HAL ships have been Yellow at the same time (this Thread has tracked all changes).

Agree. I think HAL’s protocols from early on have helped. Best wishes to all!

Until things get better under control they need to do Vaccinated Only! 

Except that "vaccinated" doesn't mean you can't catch COVID.  It does mean you may have minor symptoms, or be asymptomatic.  You can still catch/spread COVID if vaccinated.

With today’s update (12/27), based on data submitted Thursday, 12/23, Koningdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Zuiderdam remain Yellow. Nieuw Statendam has gone down from Yellow to Orange.

HAL is sailing 100% vax.  The yellow status is of concern to me.  Be safe everyone.

On another thread (can't remember where) it was mentioned a ship came remain in yellow up to 14 days after being cleared. Bureaucracy I guess.

Oof!

A cruiseship with 0.1% of the passengers having covid gets a yellow status.

 

Right now, i'm at the Nieuw Amsterdam, with around 1.150 guest. So with 2 covid cases, the status is yellow.
