The reason it was red was because of ONE crew member testing positive BEFORE any passengers were ever on board the ship. If it was red for the first revenue sailing, it was only a carry over precaution from the prior crew member testing positive prior to embarkation with paying passengers.

Did I specify why it was red? Whatever the reason for it was, the status was RED. Please just stop now... it's getting embarrassing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juncti Posted December 5, 2021 #161 Share Posted December 5, 2021 They just announced the ship has omicron. Looks like we're still sailing but now we need to sign a form(waiver I assume). And now there's new restrictions, but no idea what they are. They just announced you can go get a refund and leave if you want 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to chuckle at that too... I manage 3 different hospital labs and we do not even have the ability to identify the Omicron variant - let alone as a rapid test. That involves NGS which only select labs do - and I assure you - it is NOT rapid. 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it’s good that they give you an option. I would probably see what the restrictions are before I go. If it’s super restrictive then I would be the one to ask for a refund and ask them to arrange transportation to get me home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could they possibly know that the new Omicron variant is circulating on that ship? I've heard a pcur test can tell if it's the new variant or the one we are fighting now. The results are missing something that the current variant has. Has to be a pcur not a rapid test but they can tell it's the new one in a lab. .. Well that explains why 10 positives they got so crazy and late boarding. .. makes sense. Edited December 5, 2021 by firefly333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredric22 Posted December 5, 2021 #173 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I wonder if they are saying that because of the "potential" for omicron they are making changes? Very odd... all 10 are asymptomatic so perhaps that's how they knew it was omicron! 🤣🤦♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard doctors say this too . ..they can tell it's the new one. That's why positives are popping up so fast of omnicron. It's not that hard for a lab to detect from the results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juncti Posted December 5, 2021 #175 Share Posted December 5, 2021 My wife works in research and she's saying same thing. There isn't any way she knows of to sequence a sample, especially on a Sunday So either they have some new fast way to test or they're just making the assumption Give NCL wants to sail and make money I have to imagine it's real. I doubt they want to scare away passengers and give refunds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
