Apex Live — COVID numbers

[What A Market]

Although I have a live thread going, I thought I would create new thread for this topic.

 

Captain just gave COVID details in his morning announcement.

62 crew

19 passengers

 

Everyone that tested positive is in quarantine. No other protocols being implemented.

What deck is for quarantine?  Is it window, inside cabin or IV?

[Provence55always]

A lot of crew!!! Enjoy the rest of your cruise and keep safe. We are getting our 2nd booster on Sunday. Hopefully this will keep us safe for our B2B in Alaska next month. We intend to mask up at all times. We have two airports and two flights to get through before we arrive in Vancouver to commence our cruise🤞.

No announcement on this, but one side of Deck 3 has been sealed since beginning of trip. I think part of Deck 6 as well, but I understand from other posts that Celebrity is using this for crew.

 

I will ask for details.

Does seem like a lot of crew. We are doubled boosted for about a month now.  Got second boost timed specifically for this cruise. We haven’t been wearing masks, but would happily do so if required. 
 

Does seem interesting that they aren’t imposing some additional protocols. Maybe it’s because we disembark tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the well wishes!

I am not surprised. I think we’ve counted 100 or more positive cases among people who got off the last sailing, and that’s just among the passengers on cruise critic and in the Facebook group. That ship is having a major outbreak right now.

no way to know but would like to see the unreported positive pax and positive in the next week after cruise

How long have you been on the ship?

We got on last Saturday and disembark tomorrow.

Do you know how many passengers are on your sailing?

[zdad59]

We were on the April 2 sailing.    A bunch of folks on the private FB page reported testing positive when they got home, including me and my wife.    Also heard from the parents of a crew member, they spent the week on board visiting her.    Several of her performance team had to quarantine at the end of the cruise.

 

Looking at the following two sailings it seems like the numbers are getting bigger each week.    I wonder how long it will take to run its course on board.

We had 2110 on the April 2 sailing.    Numbers have been pretty steady around that level for the last few weeks.

No, there is one more.  Leaves tomorrow (4-23) and returns 4-30.  The TA starts 4-30.

We were told 2200 passenger onboard.  So only 19 cases is lower than I expected.

It just means passengers aren’t going to get tested.

It could certainly be a combination of 3 and 6, but two crew I have seen on social media are both in isolation on deck 3 in an OV.

Possible but I hope most are not that self centered.

This

 

Pax have self determined that they 'aren't that sick" and will tough it out with cold/flu meds vs getting isolated in an inside cabin.   

 

happens at every hotel resort destination, every day now

100% 

My wife and I both got COVID while onboard Edge in February (tested positive on return-to-Canada PCR test the day of disembarking), while somehow the cruise director had announced on our last night of the cruise that there had been zero positives for crew and passengers! We have both had 2 boosters, but were not masking on the ship as it wasn't required at the time but we did try to social distance.  Fortunately we both just had a night of fever and a week or so of mild symptoms and fatigue.  I'm okay with what happened as we knew the chance was there going in and for us it wasn't too bad, but very likely there are many many more positives among passengers than have actually tested positive.

Yikes. I'm about to get on tomorrow and we're doing a B2B (on another ship) and I'm starting to wonder if we'll make it on that 2nd cruise!

Use sanitizer always, wear your mask! We are just getting over it from Apex!

[tfred]

Plenty of pax are negative but I think the ultimate positive numbers are way lower than stated

You'll be find if you take precautions; think positive and act accordingly.  You know what to do and enjoy you b2b.  I was in school for 2 years and stayed healthy by following my routine based on consistency.
