If so, you’d remember that one requirement was having shoreside quarantine facilities to get positive cases off the ship ASAP. While “page 4” doesn’t specifically say you (and yours), if positive, will be disembarked ASAP, common sense does. Of course, where/when will be highly dependent on your itinerary.

JPR Posted December 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) The good news is that, if the ship isn’t in port, they’ll give you your own lifeboat! Edited December 18, 2021 by JPR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive cases will, most likely, be immediately quarantined in their own cabin until an itinerary/health condition specific plan can be implemented. If you’re on a transoceanic leg, it may be days before you are near a port where you can be quarantined ashore. And, depending on the seriousness of your condition, you may be moved to another onboard cabin specifically designated for Covid quarantine until you reach a port.

Please do not admonish me as you do so many others. The fact remains that it absolutely does not say that you and yours will be disembarked. That can be left to interpretation. Someone asked a question, I expanded on your “read the sail safe faq’s” by providing a link to the sail safe program. I pointed out that although it was clear to you, it was not to me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GICNJC Posted December 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Not sure of Oceania (or NCL) but our neighbor was put off Princess when her husband encounter medical conditions the ship's doctor could not handle. She had no choice, ships policy. Luckly all costs were covered by her medical insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has admonished you. In any case, I have provided the most likely beginning thoughts regarding a basic treatment plan you’d find on any ship at sea given a situation of significant medical concern. I’m not going into all the details of who does/decides what/when/where/why because the protocols can go in many situation-dependent directions. And neither will a FAQs page on a cruise line website. Suffice to say that a ship is not the ideal location to control a contagion and the decisions made by the ship’s MD will be based in part on all sorts of factors keeping in mind your health/safety as well as the health/safety of everyone else onboard. Read the FAQs again: the Cruise Line will coordinate necessary onboard COVID-19 related medical treatment, required land-based quarantine, and travel arrangements to get the guest safely back home.

Some medical conditions can not be handled by a ships doctor or the medical centre & the pax would be best treat on shore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
