I tested positive

[Tiggercat]

Yesterday, I tested positive for Covid. I have slight cold symptoms. I am supposed to cruise in 8 days. Will they allow me to go? Chances are, I will still test positive even though I will be past the 5 day quarantine rule. (I hear you can get a positive test result for 90 days) Can I show them the date of my positive test result to be allowed to get on the ship?

Not if you test positive

Unless the health questionnaire has changed, you will not be able to answer no to the signs and symptoms in the last 14 days question. You will be denied boarding.

I'm sorry, but this answer is not official........ until after you've consulted the magic 8-ball.

I'm sorry this has happened to you - but regardless of when you first came down with Covid and tested positive, you won't be allowed on the ship if you still test positive.

If I were you, I would simply relax, get well, and accept the cruise is toast - reschedule for a later date.

if you have tested positive and before the cruise test negative, is that an automatic no go?  Not sure why it would be as long as you test negative before the cruise.  And being vaccinated and the rapid test, I think there is a good chance you test negative.  No reason not to cruise.

Symptoms in last 14 days does not automatically disqualify you from boarding.  They will ask you additional questions.  If you have a negative test within 2 days and exhibit no symptoms they would probably let you on.

Why stress? Get a refund. There will always be another cruise you can go down the road.

Any positive in 14 days before the cruise is a no go for Royal, if you report it.

Where does it say that?

it says right before the cruise.  Nothing about 14 days before.

Thank you.  Wonder if that has changed with the recent CDC changes

Just another example of why the pre cruise questionnaire is so pointless.  Just rely on the Covid test being negative and nothing else. (realizing that also has flaws.)

A lot.  We're sitting here counting how many crew are being off loaded onto Vision of the Seas - already at 90.  They catch it from passengers.  On top of the 50 from earlier this week!

 

That's not the passengers either.

I agree- it’s the passengers who are spreading this.  RC has the right plan but can’t implement it when people are so careless.  There should be 0 unvaccinated onboard IMO.

Geez, is there any crew left on your ship?

They could temperature check at the port then test if you are running a little high. Heck, they temp checked us at Money Bar in Cozumel- an outdoor bar on the water.

Not really.  If it's found out that you lied on it, they'll be able to deny all benefits.

What ship are you on?  Probably means if they tested crew again  tomorrow there would be 30 or 40 more..........and who knows how many passengers right now are positive walking around with it too.

Always interesting to observe the ethics/morality of some cruisers.

Pretty sad isn't it, some only care about themselves and could care less about anyone else.
