Problem on the breakaway in NO

[Juncti]

Well they finally updated the story. CDC issue, and there supposed to have a meeting in 15 minutes discussing the situation.

 

Why didn't they do this meeting hours ago. I don't see us getting on anytime soon

 

We may not be going anywhere

Unfortunately, I may have guessed correctly. The fact that the luggage is just sitting on the wharf is not a good sign.

We've made it through our CV testing at the Marriott and are sitting on the Riverwalk enjoying a cocktail and waiting for some sign they are letting folks on.

 

Much rather be here than packed inside the terminal!

I like your way of thinking!!!

Yikes…please keep us posted.  Document the situation and keep receipts for claim purpose if you purchased travel insurance in case the worst case scenario happens.

This makes little sense. 10 cases is not enough to trigger any kind of CDC issue. The thresholds are much higher than that.  There must be more to the story...

[NavArch64]

Under the terms of the CDC CSO, as I understand it, if the ship is coded YELLOW, and the situation deteriorates from there, the company (NCL) and the CDC meet to determine if the ship should be coded RED and voyages are then halted. This could be the meeting coming up.

Ships have sailed red before, so just because a ship is coded red it doesn't mean sailings are halted.

They say, 5 seconds ago, all is OK to go.

"As for the voyage set to depart on Sunday, December 5, Norwegian’s statement indicated that “there have been no changes to scheduled future sailings,” adding that they would “provide additional updates to impacted guests as appropriate.” And by mid-afternoon on Sunday, guests were being tested and had begun boarding."

I am on in April as well. Flying in is our biggest issue. We will not be able to self isolate if the small chance we test positive for covid. We would have to be able to rent a car to make the 13 hour drive home.

Not sure you have a choice about isolation after a positive test. A lot of other people will be involved in the decision if you test positive at any point.

I believe that you are incorrect ... under the CDC CSO, to my knowledge, no ships have been coded RED to date. Perhaps you can provide specific cases to support your assertion.

Yup! Was on Celebrity Edge after it was coded red. July 2021. 

[NavArch64]

• Red status means the ship is at or above the CDC investigation threshold for passenger and crew COVID-19 cases. Based on CDC’s investigation, additional public health precautions, such as returning to port immediately or delaying the next voyage, will be taken to help ensure the health and safety of onboard travelers or newly arriving travelers.

You only need one crew member to be positive to be coded "Yellow" and be under CDC investigation.

Well you seem nice!  Not sure what showing me July 23 status would have to do with my cruise that took place in July 2 weeks before that. 🤣🤔

[NavArch64]

Anyone know the result of the NCL/CDC meeting yet?

That's the issue.  The ships don't really have the infrastructure to test 2500 people.  They're used to testing, maybe, a couple hundred foreign travelers who require it.

Incorrect.  The crew on any given NCL ship is tested 2-3 times per week, every week.  That amounts to thousands of tests per week on the ship.
