Thank you!

A question about the current Sapphire setup:
Are the (usually free of charge) saunas and steam rooms at the Lotus Spa on Deck 15 available?
Or are they out of service? I've read something like that for the Emerald some time ago.

Yes.  Could be noro or ???  In speaking with some crew yesterday they said they are still at level one.  That is the lowest stage of disease alert.  So, whatever it is there are very few cases onboard.

I don't know???  I can tell you that the locker room and adjacent bathroom are very hot and humid.  I use that bathroom during the day when at the Sanctuary.

Uh oh, look at what we saw on our way back to our cabin from the luncheon!

 

 

Brings back terrible memories of my time in COVID jail last fall on the Med/TA cruise we were on with you!  Except my door also had a sign saying "RED ZONE DO NOT ENTER 

AUTHORIZED TEAMMATES ONLY"

Same with us on our "covid" cruise on the Emerald in February of last year.  Btw, the table was gone this morning.  A quick recovery???

@dalsnibba    The Captain is going home on May 10th and plans on returning sometime in August.

I have thought they are on 3/4 month rotations - not 2 months.

Is there pay for Gelato onboard?  Thanks for posting and sharing your cruise. Happy you were able to enjoy the Sanctuary, my favorite place.

[Caribensun]

Have you heard what they will be doing in dry dock?  Thanks

I have not been by the Swirls venue by the pool, I've been trying to avoid the calories! 🍦🍧🍨     That would be the only location for them to have gelato.

We came back from the port to find an invitation to a MTG Cocktail Party.  This was unexpected!  We already had the two luncheons as this voyage encompassed two back to back cruises.
