Izena Posted July 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Currently on the Constitution. Thursday 6/23 All guests were tested for covid prior to boarding ship. At least 3 guests tested positive. Never on the ship. Monday it was announced that several guests and a crew member were tested positive - guests quarantined in their rooms. There are new cases almost daily no announcements. Masks are optional for guests crew are required but don’t wear properly. cruise before ours had covid heard numbers are 26 guests. When all is said and done we will have about the same. this should not be happening. I’m concerned about covid protocol. I have not been sick - I don’t have housekeepers come into my room. due to these issues will not cruise ACL again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDVinNC Posted July 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Not sure you can blame the cruise line. Covid is EVERYWHERE, and probably will continue until just about everyone gets it. Fortunately, it is usually mild for those who have been vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid is well on its way to becoming endemic like influenza, and it's up to each individual to protect themselves. Given the incubation period, I'm not surprised that people who tested positive at the beginning of the cruise developed disease a few days later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twototravel Posted July 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2022 If you follow cruise ship news, I think most ships have decided to stop enforcing CDC recommended Covid protocols, at least some of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izena Posted July 4, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Returned home yesterday July 3rd. Constitution. Basic review excursions - we did a few of the city explorations which were narrated bus tours. // bring several bottles per person of water, no cruise staff on my excursions, some the drivers were also narrating the tour Portland was interesting. Did have stop to stretch legs walk, portapotties Bucksport long bus ride to Bar Harbor. (Bus going had working AC return bus AC was broken long bus ride hot miserable) we were driven into bar harbor switched to a trolley tour of Acadia National park. Interesting and weird. We made 3 stops in the park — per park rules once a vehicle has stopped and the last person exits the vehicle must be loaded and moving in 15 minutes or gets a hefty fine. Bathrooms available on 2 , 3 stop but will be all you have time to do. Last stop was at visitors center but really not any time to shop or explore. we didn’t get to boothbay harbor by ship water too rough (that port requires a tender to get off ship. Nor Provincetown due to storms ( had been told night before that a lot of Covid on island and to wear masks) my biased opinion was the “city explorations” should be renamed the homes of the rich and famous. I was happy that every stop we made had plenty of time to get off ship and take a walk. I walked 2-3 miles every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
