3dogmom Posted September 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I'm cruising with my niece who will be flying in the day before we cruise (not staying with me pre-cruise.) If she tests positive after taking the COVID test, am I now a solo cruiser? Has anyone had this experience? Thanks for sharing your experiences!

3dogmom Posted September 4, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Thanks for posting. Hmmm....I sail in November. I wonder if this is the case even if you don't live together, or see one another before the cruise? I don't want to give up my vaca! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted September 4, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I read this as if your traveling companion tests positive you cant go. Doesn't matter if they live with you. You travel with them and get tested in the port city and you are screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, you will be allowed to board the ship and travel. The cruise line cannot hold your niece's "no-show" action against you. Such things have happened long before there was any such thing as CoViD-19. It is particularly significant that your niece "will not be staying with [you] pre-cruise." The cruise line therefore cannot be concerned that you could have caught the disease from her. It is likely -- maybe even a sure thing -- however, that she will receive no refund of her cruise fare, since you will be occupying the stateroom. Advice: Eat her food, as well as your own! Sorry, that was crass. Instead, we should be pitying your niece for becoming ill and losing her money -- and we should be pitying you for losing your traveling companion. We hope that your trip will not be a bad experience for you. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
