LarryF Posted April 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I and am sure many others would like to hear from those currently sailing on the Equinox that departed 4/15/22. Are they requiring masks to be worn inside except for eating and drinking? Have they canceled any ports of call? Have they changed any of the covid protocols due to the increased number of covid cases on the previous cruise? Any information would be greatly appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted April 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Waiting to hear the latest information from Equinox on this cruise. We are scheduled to board on April 24th. We are very concerned regarding the isolation policies presently.. we are booked in a suite with balcony and do not want to be put into a cabin without a balcony. I get sea sick if I can not just walk out on my balcony for fresh air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising diva Posted April 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2022 We are on the Equinox now and seem to be the only ones wearing masks inside. If you test positive, you move to deck 3 and will not stay in your suite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedneckBob Posted April 18, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Just got off the 4/3-4/15/22 Equinox sailing and reported Covid issues. Two of the five people we traveled with on cruise just tested Positive for Covid including DW. We wore masked most of cruise. I wonder how many have tested positive since arrival back in Ft Lauderdale. It was interesting when we left the ship on Friday and walked down the trunk and saw five black SUV’s picking up Covid passengers and approximately 50 bags of luggage on the docks.

It took over a month to get ship by ship data from the CDC using the Freedom of Information act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISABELLA Posted April 18, 2022 #11 Share Posted April 18, 2022 We were on March 25 sailing. On day 6 - 1 positive case was announced. Next day 5 more. And nothing to the end of the cruise. Most likely there were more cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked to be updated if the captain made any announcements regarding covid cases on board. He has provided this information on previous sailings.

For your information the Captain on the Equinox sailing of 4/3/22 to 4/15/22 kept us informed on a daily basis at 5:30pm once Covid was detected on board. On day 10 or 11 of our cruise, Captain reported at 5:30 pm that there were no new cases and passengers applauded in the MDR! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have booked at 6 pm for early seating on the Equinox but when you board you may find out that the MDR opens at 5:30 pm. Actually most nights the MDR opened as early as 5:20 pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
