phoenix_dream Posted January 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2022 When I was on Apex, they were keeping Deck 6 open for quarantining oncoming crew for 2 weeks. I am not sure what they planned for positive cases (we only had one that I know of). I have read some posts from people on an M class ship (not sure which) who were put in quarantine in an outside cabin on Deck 3. There is a current thread of an Equinox passenger quarantined on Deck 6. As I have an upcoming B2B sailing on Connie on Deck 6, I am wondering if anyone knows what deck they have pre-arranged on that ship? After a long-awaited cruise that was booked a couple years ago and then lifted and shifted to this January, I really, really don't want to be moved out of my wonderful Sky Suite which I usually can't afford but caught a great deal when the Tampa sailings just launched. And if I am unlucky enough to catch the virus I really, really don't want to spend days stuck in a small ocean view cabin on Deck 3, without even a balcony with some fresh air. Not looking for speculation here - that would be against posting rules anyway - looking for feedback from people recently or currently sailing who actually know the answers. Also, wondering if they keep these decks empty pre-sailing, or if they move people out of their cabins on quarantined decks mid-cruise if needed? I understand if I get sick I would be moved; I'm talking about non-affected people maybe being moved to clear some space? I know people have had their cabins changed pre-sailing. Wondering if this is happening mid-sailing? I understand if a major outbreak occurs all bets are off, but wondering how these smaller outbreaks are being handled.

I would do that, but #1 it would take me hours to get through and #2 it is highly unlikely their service reps would have a clue. So hoping someone on CC would know,.

goofysmom99 Posted January 2, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) I seriously doubt that anywhere Deck 6 aft is a quarantine area on an M-class ship since it's all suites from before the elevators all the way back. On an S-class, where Parkerson is posting from, on Deck 6 there are only two suites in the aft corners.

Arizona Wildcat Posted January 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The location is subject to change. Wondering why it matters since if you are have no choice as to where you are isolated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters because I am sailing in two weeks in a Sky Suite on 6 and don't want to be notified last minute that I am being moved to a balcony cabin so they can quarantine on deck 6. If they are using deck 6 on Connie I would cancel and change to a later sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omicron can find you anywhere, but I certainly understand your concern, as I would want to know the same. Calling Celebrity is sometimes like diving into a deep, dark hole.

If they did use Deck 6 it should not impact those in suites aft of the mid ship elevators. Edited January 2, 2022 by jelayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the port side the last “passenger” cabin is 7084 and 7026 on the starboard side. As of last count we have 3 positive cases with a total of 9 passengers and crew in quarantine. Port side closed corridor door. Starboard side closed corridor side with a sign saying “Please Use Port Side Corridor”.

Relieved to hear unless things get worse our cabin on 6 should be ok. Wondering how you are finding the condition of the ship? Someone on another thread had a terrible experience and basically said their room was very rundown. They also had mechanical and water issues. I know she hasn't been revolutionized yet so setting my expectations accordingly, but they made it sound like a rundown pit. I've never sailed a Celebrity ship that wasn't in good if not great condition so hoping that will be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am not crazy about being moved at the last minute to some less accommodating location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water issues were solved during the 11/7/21 cruise. It was the first out of restart. Public spaces and all of the cabins we saw, including our own, were in great shape with all new soft goods (carpet, drapes, upholstery, etc) and looking very spiffy. We did hear here from someone whose AQ cabin evidently didn't get a refresh, but that was the only one we heard about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Celebrity would shut that deck down and move all those Retreat guests into veranda rooms on different decks. Relax and good luck!

But, for us, we’ve had a great time with no real complaints to speak of. In fact I just posted to it about 10 minutes ago, so it should be close to the top. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
