I have seen conflicting reports..................which deck is used for quarantine on the Ruby P?

 

Thanks.

Um, why are people being quarantined  on the Ruby?  As I understand it, they only require a pre-test (PCR or Antigen) before boarding.  I have friends that are on the current trip and they have not experienced any testing other than their pre-cruise test.  What am I missing here?

If people feel sick and go to medical and are tested there, if positive then they are put in

quarantine.

Technically, they are in isolation, not quarantine.  Per the CDC:

• Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.
• Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.

But whose to say others aren't also sick If they aren't tested because of not showing symptoms/feeling sick.

If one person (known to be sick) is in "isolation" should not Everyone they came in contact with at the buffet, MDR, shows, getting on/off the ship in port, pass in the hallway etc... be in quarantine.

I'm unclear where you are going with this...  Are you suggesting that every soul onboard needs to be put under quarantine?  CDC only suggests an exposure occurs when one is within 6 feet of contagious persons for 15 minutes in total during a 24-hour period.  Passing someone in the passageway isn't an exposure to a contagious disease.  What do we do with all these people under quarantine on disembarkation day?

When I was on the ship in late April, it also included the A1** & A2** of the Starboard side of Aloha deck.  Don't know if they are still doing it.

Meant - Hallway waiting to get on/off at a port especially tender ports/embarkation terminals - we have and it's been longer than 15min around people.  No not "every soul" just anyone that they came in contact within 6ft for 15min or longer. If we're to continue going with what the CDC says. 
With the medallions tracking location onboard it would be easy. 

At disembarkation nothing changes from what they currently do other than it's more people.

As I understand it, most people are unmasked even when they are crowded together like sardines (like in an elevator.)  When a Ruby cruise could go on a Hawaiian cruise with 100% of the crew, and 100% of the passengers  vaccinated, and still come back with 143 positive Covid cases. I'm not surprised.

You're operating under the assumption that Princess WANTS to find positive cases. That assumption may be erroneous,

Erroneous - If you don't WANT to find positive cases - STOP TESTING and instantly won't find positive cases.  STOP going to ports/countries requiring testing after original pre-embarkation test.

New crew are Quarantined in the same area of the Aloha Deck.

I’m not sure what deck it is but this will be one of the cabins. See photo. 😁
