ridgerunner51 Posted March 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I am looking for help in knowing who to contact at RCL. I have asthma and chronic bronchitis - not sick. I have a concern I might be denied boarding if I have a bad coughing spell. We have a cruise scheduled for May. Who do I contact? TIA, Ridgerunner 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted March 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) The number of people coughing last week from Day 1 was higher than the number of people wearing a mask. As covid goes down, the common colds go back up. Edited March 29, 2022 by smokeybandit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Hog Posted March 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Nobody is going to question you coughing or sneezing. Enjoy your trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted March 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Nobody seems to care if anyone is coughing anymore. I would not raise any "red flags" and tell anyone about your medical condition unless you need special assistance then you can reach out to that dept. via email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntjoy036 Posted March 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I sailed on Freedom in January. I had a lingering cough from bronchitis in December. I answered yes to the coughing question on the health question. I was allowed to board with no extra screening. Your mileage may vary, but that was my experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuki Posted March 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I would assume you won’t have a problem as long as you don’t have a fever when they take your temperature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted March 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I have not seen any temperature taking at Cape Liberty on our current sailings. I'm not sure it was even done when we cruised on Jan 9th out of NJ. I remember Barbados and maybe St Maarten doing it In Jan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted March 29, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I would assume if you have asthma and chronic bronchitis you would likely have prescription meds or an inhaler for that, If you are concerned about this and in a coughing spell at the time, if asked I would simply explain your condition and show your prescription meds to confirm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as others have said, answer no (which would be accurate) to the medical questionnaire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
