She was positive. They told her she could not go onto the next cruise but they did not make her change rooms that night What arrangements did they make for her after that last night? Did they fly her home privately? Get her a hotel in FLL? Just curious how they're implementing "Cruise With Confidence" currently. How recently did this happen?

RICCruisers Posted January 16, 2022 #77 Share Posted January 16, 2022 1 hour ago, RichYak said: To be fair, we're all trying to interpret passenger reports as best we can. I've read enough that I feel confident saying that standard procedure on X is to move ALL positive cases, regardless of symptoms, into cabins designated for isolation. Now, is it possible that there are exceptions? Sure. Maybe X ran out of isolation space on a particular sailing, or maybe someone tested positive late on the last night of the cruise and those people were isolated in their own cabins. So it's possible that bravado got the best of me when I wrote "0% chance." That said, IMO, it's pretty darn close to 0%. @RichYakI believe you are correct. The photo from Quarantined that @cruisestich posted was from his cabin on Deck 6. His wife stayed in their assigned stateroom. I think we are having a semantic issue with the term Red Zone. The Red Zone is simply the location of where the guest is moved after testing positive. It can be on Deck 3, Deck 6 or any other deck that X has designated for infected cruisers. I only saw one possible report from a guest that may have stayed in their cabin. They tested on the final evening and were waiting for results. She was positive and spouse was negative. I believe they stayed and probably because they were getting off the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaChach Posted January 17, 2022 #81 Share Posted January 17, 2022 All those on board or have sailed recently: Is there an advantage of Port vs. Starboard? We will be in AQ deck 11 midship. Maybe you can remember which side faces the islands when you docked? Sounds like we won't have much sun on our balcony. THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted January 17, 2022 Author #82 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I don’t think you can predict which way a ship will dock, bow are facing towards the shore or about facing outward. And as far as I know it could have one configuration on one cruise and the opposite on the next cruise. Bottom line, I don’t think it can be predicted which side would be better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently book on the side of the ship that will potentially offer the most hours of afternoon shade on sea days, as we very much enjoy sitting on our balcony, weather permitting of course. For example, booking an aft-facing cabin on a TA sailing from the US to Barcelona would not provide a lot of afternoon shade, but a cabin on the port side would. Now, if cruising in the Caribbean, that’s a little more challenging, but doable if you also include an aft-facing cabin as an option.

Then a week ago it dropped to 1200. Then last minute cancellations dropped it again to around 900. If you have a chance, can you see if you can find out how many guests they are forecasting for the next cruise 1/24. We have seen quite a few cancellations on the roll call and more expected this week. Thanks for reporting on your B2B.

This cruise and the last both started off booked at 1600 passengers and then about a week before the cruise it was down to 1200 and then by the time the cruise actually left it was fewer than 1000. I think you will see something similar on the next couple of cruises Edited January 17, 2022 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetocruisee Posted January 17, 2022 #88 Share Posted January 17, 2022 On 1/16/2022 at 8:28 AM, cruisestitch said: No it doesn’t mean that they are all on deck three. And different ships may do it differently. But on Sihouette right now if you are identified in a Contact tracing, you stay in your current state room while you are under observation until they clear you. If you test positive, but are asymptomatic, you probably will also stay in your assigned statement. But if you are in need of medical attention, you probably will be moved to the deck three hallway set aside for such a situation. Cruisestitch, I was on the Silhouette last week with you.

jfpt89a Posted January 17, 2022 #96 Share Posted January 17, 2022 All, I just met Cruisestitch onboard. What a wonderful lady, I thanked her for all the information she has been providing. It really helped me decide to go on this cruise and it has worked out great. Plenty of room to distance, no problems with crowded cafe or elevators. A great cruise for the passengers. I have met some great and interesting people onboard, from fellow Navy Submariners, to gold miners! Thank you again, Mark, Room 9200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conquesodor Posted January 17, 2022 #97 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Hi, I am curious to know about the indoor mask rule and locations such as the Solarium or the Persian Gardens. Do they make any exceptions on wearing a mask in these areas, particularly if you are doing an activity such as swimming, using a steam room, etc.?

Thanks Bluewezzie and friends They only test if you call medical with symptoms. Or if they call you because you were identified in contact tracing. There is no routine passenger testing on board i believe they test each crew member once weekly. Edited January 17, 2022 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no formal exception list, the rule says “all indoor locations”. Now from a practical standpoint, no one in the pool or the hot tub’s wears a mask. I haven’t been in the steam room so I can’t answer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
