RFerrington Posted January 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Very sad for those who were booked on Vision but no great surprise to anyone, I’m sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrazz Posted January 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I was thinking this might happen. They can't give up one of their hospital ships. Really bummed about this. I was looking forward to a little relaxation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Posted January 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Vision is currently a crew quarantine and transfer ship and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I’m currently on Freedom and we met Vision at CocoCay yesterday and moved positive crew to Vision and got some who had completed their quarantine back.

What a hassle for the crew, I feel bad for them. Trying to dodge Covid. Can't be pleasant knowing if you catch it and then where you are heading for the sick bay on Royal's Mercy and Comfort Ships Edited January 7, 2022 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted January 7, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Look like Rhapsody's TA will also be put off for some time - she was due to leave for the Med today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestown478 Posted January 7, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Odd. I am booked on the January 24th- Feb 4th sailing and I haven't gotten anything about it being canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fact that they need 2 ships to quarantine crew leads to believe there are more cases than what's being reported. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One ship, the Rhapsody, is based down around St. Maarten. The vision is based in FLL and Coco Cay. That way they cover two diverse areas and don't have to cruise around picking up the crew with covid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least part of the reason for 2 ships is location. Vision has been swapping crew at Coco Cay and Rhapsody at St Maarten. That allows them to get crew off / on quickly rather than keeping them on the ship for several days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the volume is the issue (needing two ships), but the logistics to transfer the infected crew - they've been doing it along the usual route of the ships. Having to divert a ship just to off load is probably an issue trying to keep the normal itinerary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceswithphones Posted January 7, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Marine Traffic shows Symphony currently aside the Vision. I heard they make take crew off the Jewel next. Jewel is currently headed to Miami from Aruba and Marine Traffic isn't picking up the transponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a site like cruisemapper instead, which uses sat location in addition to land based AIS - she's moving right along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipmate13 Posted January 10, 2022 #18 Share Posted January 10, 2022 We were booked on the February 25th cruise on Vision of the Seas. I did not pitch a fit when they cancelled it, didn't blame Royal Caribbean. I just booked on Celebrity Silohette for the same dates going to the same places except Labadee which I am happy about. No sweat. Even going out of the same port. Now hoping all will go well with that ship. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilkySal Posted January 10, 2022 #21 Share Posted January 10, 2022 We're supposed to do a B2B on Vision in April for 10 nights followed by 11 nights. Sure hope it sails! Playing the waiting game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted January 10, 2022 #22 Share Posted January 10, 2022 We've had 6 cruises cancelled, including Vision in December and Rhapsody in February. It is depressing. We took refunds on everything, and we are remodeling the kitchen. We still have Navigator cruises in April and September. But we aren't booking anything else. I think the most disappointing part was thinking that we were booking far enough in advance that we would surely be over this by then, but then it just keeps going on and on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
