Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted October 31, 2022 Author #606 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Parts of the ship are decorated for Halloween. There is a display of carved pumpkins in the Atrium: The Universe Lounge is looking rather spooky. I'll try and get some photos after trivia. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSW Gov website now has Coral at Tier 3, so there must be many cases. Tier 3 High Impact to Vessel There are a lot of cases on board (100 or more positive cases per 1,000 people) and/or the vessel is unable to maintain critical services due to staffing or resource shortages.

Yes, at the moment there probably are a lot of cases but some should be recovering over the next few days and testing negative. We are still operating with only one MDR open for dinner. Once they open the other one then I'll know the numbers have dropped significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be staff shortages being the reason why only 1 MDR open. Crikey, the one open must be choc a block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
