Unmasking… new protocols 4/22

Maybe specific to the Navi here on the West Coast????

The CC crowdsource info is pretty quick and accurate most of the time - if any RCI ship anywhere in the world would have stopped initial embarkation testing, we would have heard about it by now. Heck, even RCI would have probably announced it.

Royal will not make as big a change as that ship specific.  It will be fleet wide by country

OK, clarification needed again:  I'm talking about repiratory infections in general, and one of our group went home 2 days ago, tested negative for COVID, and was diagnosed with pneumonia. I also heard a LOT of similar coughing around the ship (like I used to when I would come home with an URI).  
 

So not interested in this debate any more.  Time for the DL and dinner.  Happy cruising.

 

With all due respect, but you're spreading a lot of misinformation here, and then you get upset when you get called out:

- You're saying that you are "concerned about GETTING COVID FROM unvaccinated people of any age." That's fine, but you should be equally concerned about getting COVID from vaccinated people of any age.

- You mentioned that you noticed an increase in coughing when mask requirements where dropped (indicating those two are related).

- Then you're saying testing is not required as per 5/2? Maybe that's for B2B but you should specify so.

 

Listen, you have your own protocols and that's fine. Just don't start getting upset when you spread misinformation and you get called out.

Ummmmm, OK.  Just passing along what I was told after asking last night, using adjectives like "all" and "any", and specifying "pre-cruise" vs "b2b".

 

I have no idea outside my Navi bubble.

With all due respect returned, like all of us here, I pass along my experience and opinion. No more; no less.

 

I specifically asked if the testing on the Navi had stopped for new passengers coming on board, and was told "yes" by a staff member. Time will tell if this continues.

 

What may be interpreted as "being upset" is me trying to clarify my statement.

 

So, now I understand EVERYBODY can infect me: vaccinated and unvaccinated.

 

Again, happy cruising everyone!!

Well, considering those on the May 13 roll call are talking about preboarding testing, I think you misunderstood what the staff member said.  No testing between b2b's, but everyone is still required to test before boarding.   You've done some guessing on here and posted info that has been shown to be incorrect.   That is how rumors and incorrect info gets spread.
