cruisegirl1 Posted May 11, 2022 #28 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) OP - I wish you a mild case and a speedy recovery. I applaud your honesty as you could’ve ignored your symptoms and simply walked around the ship with Covid. Is the medical staff able to give you any of the true Covid meds? I wish the quarantined passengers were in a more comfortable cabin (May be a balcony) as I believe more people would admit they are sick. I get the feeling that many don’t wanna leave their cabin to be in the ocean view cabin. One of my fears is being quarantined in a cabin with no fresh air. If I’m not feeling well it’s not a big deal but once I start to feel better it would drive me insane if you’re feeling up to it can you order off of the dining room menu, or simply the room service menu? And, also if feeling up to it, or you allowed to have alcohol delivered to the cabin? thank you for your honest assessment and information. Again, best wishes for a speedy recovery. m Edited May 11, 2022 by cruisegirl1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t leave the ship on the last cruise so I know I didn’t catch it in a port. I’m sure I got it on here. Unfortunately there will always be covid on ships. We were on the NV last week and some crew started to go missing so I agree that Covid will be on cruise ships. Our favorite bartender was gone after Tuesday evening. It’s always fun to watch the other crew members actions when you ask where a certain person is. Hope that you feel better soon. You almost made it the entire month. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspink98 Posted May 11, 2022 #33 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hope you're feeling better soon, OP. Covid or no Covid, I wish they'd ditch the carpet. I understand it probably really helps with sound insulation between decks, but I love the look and the carpet is sometimes pretty sus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, we witnessed two security guards trying to get a passenger to open their door. I suspect that she was trying to lay low with covid and wouldn't let the attendant in the cabin. Your cruise is pretty much ruined either way. I hope you feel better soon and are treated well. I would have loved to be a fly on that wall. 1 hour ago, Ukigirl said: I’m coming up with a plan to sneak you those chocolate martinis you requested! Ugh my biggest fear for sure, this sailing is packed! Please make sure they add cherries to it. That was my latest obsession on last weeks cruise. I love the cherries. 1 hour ago, OCSC Mike said: Hope you recover quickly and the symptoms aren't too bad. Wish your report didn't exist, of course, but nice to hear a level-headed, un-opinionated account of the experience. 😆😆😆 I haven’t ordered anything that requires coffee or soup containers yet. As I tell myself to be nice. Edited May 11, 2022 by ReneeFLL 2 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted May 11, 2022 #35 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I am so sorry for you. Now besides being in quarantine, do they check on your status. Anyone, come in contact with you. Or do you have to call for assistance. Do you get to see your DH? Take care 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted May 11, 2022 Author #38 Share Posted May 11, 2022 1 hour ago, happy cruzer said: Interesting about the crew. Any idea if the ones quaranteened are the actual RCI crew or contractors? I sometimes wonder if the contractors like in the casino, spa, and entertainers get treated differently? Sorry this happened and hope all goes as well as it can. Thanks. I found out this morning that there are 6 other passengers. I wanted to ask if they went to medical because they were really sick but didn’t bother because they might not have told me. I’m not sure if the crew are contractors or not. I’m guessing that we are all being treated equally. It would be terrible if they treated crew differently than the rest of us. They are also in OV cabins and I’m assuming they are ordering the same foods that I can. I was told I could order from the room service menu or from food in the MDR. I was also told to ask for anything that I might want. 🤔 They really shouldn’t put me to such a challenge. They might regret it. 😀 58 minutes ago, orville99 said: Corn Starch. That’s interesting. I’m surprised it would take 90 days to compost. 56 minutes ago, carlosalonsor said: Your room looks way better than the traditional ones. I like how it looks without carpet and bed skirt.

Rare Bound4Bermuda Posted May 11, 2022 #40 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I hope you feel better quickly. All things considered, you seem to be in pretty good spirits so far. I have to say I’m pretty impressed that you were so responsible—seems like even the crew was, too. I hope you order a beverage soon. I’m dying to know whether it arrives in a soup container. I feel like we’re slowly putting together a puzzle with these little details like the soup containers, no bedskirt, and the mysterious red phone cord… 🕵️♀️ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised it would take 90 days to compost. The corn starch is typically mixed with a biodegradable binder to make a plastic-like material, and depending on which type of binder is used, the decomposition time can range from 60-90 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read on another thread that someone on a ship (not sure which one) who had the drink package was able to order drinks. I don’t have the package but I do get 5 free drinks a day for being D+. I haven’t tried to order any and not sure if I’m feeling up to it. I just ordered the Royal Wagyu Hamburger like I did yesterday since it was good. I can order from the room service menu or from MDR. I’m thinking I might just tell them I want some of the Indian food from the crew area. I love Indian food and was told they don’t mind. I’ll see what’s on the MDR menu first. 44 minutes ago, cruisegirl1 said: Was this to be the last cruise of the series, or were you planning to remain on for more cruises? m Sort of. I had booked the cruises for April 16th and the 28th. Two days prior to the last one I decided to add on 2 more. Debated about adding on one more after these because there are some people on here that will be on it. DH has to go to recurrent training next week (as long as he continues to test negative) and I need to be home with our fur babies so I didn’t. Looks like it wouldn’t have worked out anyway. 21 minutes ago, Lionesss said: I am so sorry for you. Now besides being in quarantine, do they check on your status. Anyone, come in contact with you. Or do you have to call for assistance. Do you get to see your DH? Take care Thanks. They come twice a day to check my vitals. When food is delivered they leave it on a table outside and knock on the door and leave. I can’t see DH since he isn’t allowed down here. We call and text. When they first told me they would be moving me they asked if he would be coming with me. I was surprised since I would think they would try to keep more people from getting it. I didn’t want him to come since I’m hoping he can avoid catching it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read on another thread that someone on a ship (not sure which one) who had the drink package was able to order drinks. I don’t have the package but I do get 5 free drinks a day for being D+. I haven’t tried to order any and not sure if I’m feeling up to it. My husband and I are in quarantine on a different ship (Ovation). I had the refreshment drinks package but that has been refunded for the remainder of the cruise. My husband has ordered a 'glass' (plastic cup) of red wine with dinner a couple of evenings and we haven't been charged for it. We are diamond so get 4 drinks vouchers a day, but looking on the account it hasn't gone through there at all (before quarantine the voucher drinks were showing on the account at $0), and given that these days are being refunded, I wouldn't think the drinks vouchers would apply anymore. I'm not sure if that's correct or not - given that this ship hasn't had passengers for months they haven't really got their covid processes sorted for guests, only crew. So it may not be policy that the drinks are free, but so far, they are. I hope that you are feeling better soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted May 11, 2022 #50 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I think I might be fine in quarantine if I had free movies, internet, my drink vouchers and could order from the MDR menu....and a cabin with a bathtub...which is a must for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
