Carver1998 Posted January 8, 2022 #53 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The letter says 4.95 percent of the onboard community. Not positivity rate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they test you as you are walking off a plane? Do they test you as you leave your bank? Do they test you after you go to get your hair cut? Do they test you as you get off the public bus? The answer is NO because you are not required to and you are not sick as far as you know!! If we did it the way you are proposing we would NEVER get back to "normal" again. Not only on a cruise ship but in a sports arena, a restaurant, ANYWHERE. JIMBO you are pigeon holing the cruise industry by doing it the way you think it should be done and setting them up for failure. As you quoted about above "the CDC would shut them down" You continue to expose your hate and discontent post after post!!!!! Sorry you can't handle the truth but that is what the cruise lines said they would do for the CDC to protect the crew and passengers onboard. The crew has testing every week all of them, I don't hate the cruise lines, I love cruising! Edited January 8, 2022 by Jimbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let's try to keep the thread civil to avoid it getting shut down 🙂 the letter was interesting, and no idea how the calculation came about. I’m in your corner keeping the focus on you.

Maitaivegas Posted January 8, 2022 #58 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Come on guys let’s keep this report free of drama. The poster has asked this and he is taking time out of his and his wife’s trip to keep us updated. I can’t wait for more food porn, hopefully it’s posted when I’m full already. Stay safe, mask up and Washy Washy. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cant keep myself away from replying to a certain negative poster that seems to squeeze there miserable posts into all of these great threads. Even my wife gets pissed when I take the bait. I will do my best.😉 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently on Indy and when we opened our curtains this morning around 6:30, Vision was sitting next to us at the Pier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vision is in port with us today. Possibly offloading crew and adding ne. Saw a lot of new crew in the MDR appearing to get training for this ship.

newdestination Posted January 8, 2022 #66 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Colesc15, thanks for doing this. We were supposed to be on the 1/15 canceled Symphony cruise, so I will be following your report with interest. Enjoy that nice, empty ship and eat a lot of good food! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbcruiser Posted January 8, 2022 #67 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just wondering what the temperature felt like when those pictures were taken. (I Florida for some years and I’m often down in the Fort Lauderdale area where my brother lives. At this time of year the weather can be very chilly. Certainly too cold to swim for some, Including me (and I live in the Midwest where we get temperatures below 0 degrees F ). I , for one, wouldn’t mind less people in the solarium. I don’t mind a little noise, but on Oasis class ships, sometimes the solarium bar and pool get surrounded by very, very loud people. The more they drink, the louder they get, and the expletives continually fly. I’ve seen people bring their own boombox things and play music super loud. That’s OK with me in the right venue, but I don’t think the solarium is the right venue. (A man and woman at our dinner table told us they had complained to a crew member anout it one day and were told there was nothing he do about it.) Also it would be nice to be able to go in one of thehot tubs and find a space to sit at various times of the day. We don’t sail - hopefully - till mid February, but I just hope it’s not TOO empty! Or that shows aren’t cancelled. I’m going to follow this thread as well and really appreciate the Post letting us know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like a leap of faith in these challenging times, but we are tired of staying put especially in the frozen north we live in.

Most at our hotel hung at the pool as opposed to the beach. Started to get cool when the sun started to set. Quite cool later in the evening hower it is all relative compared to some of the temps at our homes. Looks like all shows are a go this week except for Mama Mia show. They are going to have a shortened musical with just the songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabric_fabric Posted January 8, 2022 #72 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The definition of Code Red was sketchy. It was used when I called Jan. 6 and again today. When I queried they used words like….limiting new bookings, changing itineraries, etc. One comment Jan 6 was ‘don’t worry, it’s not cancelled and if it is they will contact you by email.’ DON’T WORRY! Yikes, we have 16 in our group!!!! In any event no changes can be made to a reservation while the sailing is ‘Code Red’. (It does NOT refer to the CDC color codes.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare colesc15 Posted January 8, 2022 Author #73 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Want to go on the Flo rider for an unlimited amount of time or ride the zip line back to back since there isn't a single other person? No Problem this cruise! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#55worktoplay Posted January 8, 2022 #74 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Wow, what a nice time that would be during these times having the ship to yourselves. Thanks for sharing your trip, I will be following all week. Great wins at the HR, it has changed since the last time I was there it only had the one pool with the island and at that time it was beautiful. I will have to back the first chance I get OR when I’m brave enough to cross the border for fear of getting stuck down there testing positive. Wishing you and your wife a fantastic time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
