Here we go again......🤐

I went on a Harmony cruise in April 2022 solo. Never got COVID. Flash forward to a few weeks ago, family of four on Oasis , VERY crowded ship.  NO COVID for any of us.  Guess we are the lucky ones.

 

I will say that the first full day on that Oasis cruise I was totally uncomfortable with the crowds, not because of COVID, just because I hate crowds and the last few years had everyone staying away from each other. I quickly learned to go left while others went right and it was a much more enjoyable cruise for us!

What are the stats of people contracting Covid nowadays while on their cruise. 

 

I have heard of people testing positive AFTER getting off the ship. Has anyone here tested positive afterwards?

 

 

Thank you in advance

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ I tested positive the day after my B2B Discovery Princess cruise.

This must be an older crowd as I got yelled at by my kids (teen, young adult) when I mentioned a co-worker who has covid to stop talking about covid. They HATE that people are even still talking about it.

Move on.  Less we talk about it, the more it just fades away.  Unless you live in NYC, LA, Seattle, San Fran, etc.

Exactly. Less talk, less testing, treat like a normal virus.

Both caught it on a Dec cruise. Just came off plane from Seattle Saturday. People coughing all over the plane! Mostly cruisers I presume- some had cruise masks on. Will update if I show symptoms (figure I have til Thursday evening if I caught covid).

That's BS.......lets not talk about it and it will go away. If it was that easy, we should have done that a year and half ago.

If you test positive 3 days after your cruise, how do you know where you got it?  In any society or group, there will be a few positive cases.  As I always say, if you need to ask, don't go on a cruise.

Most cruise-ships are at "Orange" level:  0.3% or more of total passengers and/or crew

Thats 3 per 1000. Not enough to be of any concern.

Back then they didn't know how to treat it. Now they do and for most (not all of course) it is a cold or symptoms like the flu. You only have to quarantine for 5 days and many feel fine by that time anyway.

Many of us have been exposed many times, some not even knowing they were and were fine. If someone is really concerned at this point, they need to not travel then. 

[juhacorno410]

On our Quantum of the Seas early June Alaska cruise, there were around 50 people reportedly positive either on the ship or once home according to our facebook group.  I also believe that quite a few of the crew were positive.

 

Apparently, it seems that many on the Alaska cruises have come down with covid.  I started coughing 3 days before departing the ship, tested myself 2 times while on the ship and negative both times.  No covid for us, but I came home with pneumonia and was very sick for almost 3 weeks.  Finally feeling myself once again.

You mean there are young people out there who don't care about anyone besides themselves?  I'm shocked!

Yes, because all older people cared about others before this pandemic as much as they do now. 🤥

Because it take 4 or  5 days to show up you are positive.............so where was the person 4 or 5 days ago.................Hello............, on a cruise, cruise ship.

It’s at least.3% - we don’t know how far above that the real number is.

Yeah, my teens complied with my "suggestions to semi- quarantine"  before cruise, but hated me saying "IF we cruise, IF we test negative...."

 

But I will also say that my teens DO care if they get COVID and don't want to get it in general.  So far only my husband had COVID (that we know of). He had symptoms and we put him in "jail" by himself. He he.  The 3 of us in the household have not had symptoms that produced a positive test. Since January myself and my teens had been sick with colds. We went to Dr., tested and were negative.  My cold was my first in years and lasted 2 weeks!  But not COVID.

Due to civi:

1) how was Windjammer staged?

2) did folks serve themselves?

3) in general how did the ship look?

4) if your a diamond member, how was the club operated? 
Many thanks..Dean

I can definitively say as of today, I have NEVER had Covid.  I have been "highly exposed but seronegative” pre & post vaccine at events where many, if not all other people tested positive except me.   Prior to vaccinations, which I only received this year to be able to travel/cruise, I was enrolled in the McGill University clinical study as one of the lucky 1% "Covid Resistors".   I was enrolled courtesy of my MD daughter (clinical pathologist) who picked up on me never testing positive after two high exposure events.  For over a year, I had to spit in a test tube and get a blood draw every month and always tested as seronegative.   I lived my life pretty much like I did before Covid, although did mask during mandates but continually traveled for work during the shutdown.  In my first high exposure event, I was in NYC in March of 2020 working in a very crowded office conference room for a week with 10 colleagues who with the exception of myself all got sick with Alpha Covid.  Two of which ended up on a ventilator (both survived).    Daughter kept testing me for two weeks after exposure and I never tested positive for Covid or antibodies after.  After the second high exposure event, she had me enroll in McGill study through the hospital she works at in the Texas Medical center in Houston.  Lucky me!

You are very lucky. 99% of the population are not that lucky.

Yes there is, but it costs money for the antibody test

I should have clarified my statement with "without any testing". I am aware of the antibody testing.

This is one reason why testing two days before boarding a cruise ship is not beneficial to keeping Covid off the ships. I guess it is better than nothing though.

I mean, I have lived in two of those cities for the last 10+ years, and I cannot imagine I am alone on this board...

LA county just went over .4 percent. General LA population could not care less. Time to give covid a hug and welcome it to the community, it is here to stay.
