Softball20 Posted December 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2021 We are supposed to sail on January 3 - at this point we are still going, but monitoring things closely. We are both vaccinated and boosted. I'm just really curious about the safety protocols on the ship -- are dining tables spaced in the dining rooms, are the crew members masked, etc.? We aren't doing any Celebrity excursions, so I'm not worried about bus capacity. Just curious how people feel on board. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamima Posted December 26, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Also curious about table spacing in Blu. Many of those two tops are (or were) really, really close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the tables appropriately spaced in the dining rooms? How about pool loungers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Neighbor! I think it will be much less crowded on the cruise leaving Jan 3. I know the holiday cruises had more interest than a "short one" in Jan. I keep checking and see a lot of available rooms even now on our upcoming Jan 3 cruise. Reading the current cruise thread, it sounds like the staff is sanitizing frequently - pool chairs in the evening and theatre after each show. Sounds like they continue to take extraordinary measures to keep us safe. We sailed in August and Sept and never felt uncomfortable. Kept a mask at hand and maybe used it once on the elevator...otherwise all very clean and physically distancing was being followed by all. Hang in there! 🙂 LKC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about pool loungers? When we were on had 1800 passengers so for the most part yes things were spaced ok. It will depend on how many on board. Also we always eat early for dinner so we avoid the crowds Edited December 26, 2021 by lovrccl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shavdog Posted December 26, 2021 #8 Share Posted December 26, 2021 We were on Equinox last week....only one reported case but after reading all the posts over on the Royal board i wonder if everything gets reported....no masks required onboard...we had select dining and people were mostly spread out in our area...crew wore masks...but sometimes I did see where they didn't like it over there nose....I can understand....we had about 1500 onboard and that felt ok to us...overall our experience was better than we expected it to be 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joleen Posted December 27, 2021 #9 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Does anyone know if Celebrity is offering their luggage service from the ship? Where they take care of your luggage and the next time you see it is at your destination. Thanks Joleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that this is an airline program..at least at Ft Lauderdale. It will likely be sometime before they start up this program again..which is a shame.

How about pool loungers? Most areas were spaced as usual. However because the ship had less guests you could social distance without issue. Some did, some didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
