Rare rakkor Posted March 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) I was getting a little sore this morning, then after breakfast sitting in the Grills lounge I was getting a bit sniffily so we came back to the room and tested - came up positive. I can only hope I've not passed it onto @Camgirloor @BouncingWheelwho we sat with at the quiz yesterday Edited March 25, 2022 by rakkor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rakkor Posted March 25, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I wouldn't think so, I never got too close to them, my money is on either the Tromso Northern Lights trip as people were getting on and off the coach without masks all the time we were parked up (3 nights ago) Jane even commented very loudly that if people don't put their masks on we'll all have covid before the end of the holiday. That shamed a couple to put them on. Also the guy on table next to us has a cold, but we were unaware of this until last night at dinner. It's really annoying as Jane is manic about mask wearing and had washing, so we're never out without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall be blogging from my sick bed 🙂 We've had a blue suited medic come around to take a swab for a PCR test from both of us, but the LFT I did earlier was pretty emphatically positive. So now we are waiting to see what happens next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted March 25, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Oh no, I'm so sorry to read this, I hope you don't feel too unwell and Jane and the others are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rakkor Posted March 25, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm just a bit sniffy and chesty - Our PCRs came back, me positive Jane negative, which puts us in a dilemma, isolation together or separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reminder to all of us that omicron is still out there. Take care and feel better! - or I should say, take care and test negative soon.

2Oldpeopleinlove Posted March 25, 2022 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thank you very much for providing information about what this is like for you. It’s a real kindness to do this rather than just being angry/upset about it (which you would be justified in doing). I’m really sorry thoughtless people created this situation for you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Victoria2 Posted March 25, 2022 #14 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Feel very sorry for you but thank you for keeping us in the loop. It does make me even more determined to continue with our mask with added filter regime when onboard and less likely to book any tours, Cunard or otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Oldpeopleinlove Posted March 25, 2022 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Yes, tours, especially any involving a bus, seem risky. We are lucky to be booked for an Alaska cruise in June, where there’s plenty of interest in ports without the need to book crowded tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rakkor Posted March 25, 2022 Author #16 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Right - I'm not a happy bunny. We've packed all our stuff and been moved to 6138 which is a Britannia balcony cabin. There are no towels, no dressing gowns or slippers, only two pillows and the bed configuration is wrong, we had a twin for my leg. No paperwork either, menus stationary or bottled water. It's only two cruises since we were in Britannia but the rooms seem very small compared with a P1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rakkor Posted March 25, 2022 Author #17 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I had a right old moan at the pursers office about not being in a suite but I get the impression he wasn't interested.

Host Hattie Posted March 25, 2022 #18 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hopefully they'll bring the missing items and sort out the beds for you but I can understand it must be disappointing after having the extra space. Will you be able to have PG food at least ? Apologies for all the questions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea - But I would hope so - The steak on the room service menu is $15 and included in PG plus it's pretty limited for 5 days lockdown - to compound things the WIFI signal in the room is terrible, Using my 4G at the mo, but when at sea it will be problematic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rakkor Posted March 25, 2022 Author #21 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I don't know, the medical centre called us to contact trace and we gave out details of our recent contacts and tours, the issue is we don't know Andy and Sarah's or Mark and Pam's surnames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techteach Posted March 25, 2022 #22 Share Posted March 25, 2022 @rakkor What terrible news! First, I hope your case is mild. Second, I hope Jane doesn’t test positive. Third, I hope they find the other people who have it! I don’t understand how they can move you out of suite and then charge you for what should be included. Give ‘em #### Jane!

BouncingWheel Posted March 25, 2022 #25 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just came back on the ship to be told to report to our room and contact the medical centre. We are now awaiting testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
