You're right. Step off the curb in NYC and you're fair game! 

Extra points even because he’s from Texas. 😆

If I may, Best ever excursion taken on a cruise. We did same tour on Carnival end of July 2016, and was the only day of cruise it totally rained, sun rest of week.

I waanted to post because wanted to let other cruisers know rain made for great Glacier Calving videos.  So do not cancel if raining- just prepare and pack a raincoat and a chamois for camera. 

Saint Greg-  really like clarity of your photos and colors. Following review. Thnx

 

 

I plan on doing if offered and I can get tickets. I periodically check, but since our cruise is over a year out, I can probably wait longer between checks.

I think technically he isn't, although he lives there now.

True. He’s a default Texan.

Welp, @Saint Greg, I tested positive for Covid on a PCR test today. I am guessing it was going around on our cruise ship. Fortunately, I don't feel that bad other than a scratchy throat, but my husband is feeling pretty rough.

Sorry to hear that you also tested positive, but hope you have a mild case.

Yeah it’s sounding like it’s a lot of people. Hopefully it didn’t carry over to the next cruise. Hopefully y’all come out good. I’m feeling pretty normal. Occasional cough. My biggest problem is jalapeños taste bad.

Maybe someone will print some shirts “I went to Alaska and all I got was this T-Shirt…and COVID-19.

Maybe but doubt it. I was in the front row of the plane. Nobody seemed sick. I’m not the only one.  A lot of people from my cruise have it. It’s hanging right around 30% of people who have responded. 

 

Well fortunately, daughter, sister and niece are still Covid free at this time. Man, that would REALLY suck to get Covid just after Norovirus!

No covid for you @Selenatx right?

Well, yesterday I tested positive.  After reading about you saying your food tasted gross, the same thing happened to me when I ate breakfast yesterday.  That's what made me test.  I really haven't felt bad, just tired like I always am after a cruise.  I have noticed my temperature is running about 99.8 but no chills etc.  Actually I feel fine.  Hopefully it stays that way.  I think the isolation thing is the hardest.  But our trip was so awesome I'm trying not to complain too much lol.

This is why I’m glad that I am getting my COVID done out of the way before my cruise.

That's almost all of us. I have to wonder how @Hooked Already is doing.

[Saint Greg]

If @Hooked Already has COVID this may have been a targeted attack on CC members. 

[Saint Greg]

I hear the weather was even better this week.

Anything but jalapeños.  I lost sense of smell last fall, glad it wasn’t taste.  Btw, great review.  Makes me want to go back to Alaska.  On the Panorama now, hoping we don’t experience the Covid cases like you all did.

My husband tested positive.  He has Covid, too. Another one from our cruise.  I tested negative on the at home test, but also did a PCR test that I am waiting for the results on.

Really sorry. Did you make it home first, or are you still stuck in Seattle?
 

Does anyone know how many ended up getting Covid during or afterward? (From discussions on social media, etc?)

Wow, that’s a lot!

Yeah I believe that’s about a 5% sample size. 32% of the votes. If that sample were true for the entire ship I think it would be 700 people.

But remember, one positive test could be one person in a party of 8 depending on how people associated parties.

Yep. But it goes both for the positive and negative votes

Sorry that you are Covid positive, but at least you didn't get the "other" thing that was going around the ship at the same time (well, at least not mentioned!). Hmm, if it was Noro and you had both, would that be a case of "CoNo"? 😄

Would you call it NoroVid, CoviNoro or CoroNoro?

[Wanna_Cruize]

Well, one positive thing about testing positive, you can go on a ship for the next 90 days and NOT have to submit a negative test. Just a copy of your positive results.
