Rare LHT28 Posted September 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2023 There are posts here where people were quarantined recently so yes Covid is a thing still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davencl Posted September 11, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I think most of us know this. FWIW quarantine will happen if you have a GI illness until symptoms disappear. So Covid is only one reason for quarantine. In other words quarantine has always been happening on cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on if people report it to the ship staff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted signs ( for the non oblivious) clearly state your temperature is being taken upon boarding. On an earlier cruise, the staff was reporting passengers with troubling coughs and appearing blush. I talked with fellow passengers that had been directed to medical for testing. Security escorted some to medical in that cruise that didn’t go voluntarily as directed. It’s not necessarily all voluntary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some folks might know they have COVID-19 and choose to be silent and infect others, I'm sure some reluctance to face the COVID test is a "wishing it wasn't so." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had a gastrointestinal problem a few years back and it tested negative for norovirus but was placed under quarantine. My “virus” required a couple of injections from the ships medical staff so they were definitely in the know. They took great care of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It’s install and done automatically as you pass through the security portal. They record your temp along with your photo for facial recognition. On an earlier cruise they moved the machine around on sea days for monitoring, so it might not be limited to only at boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The facial recognition apparatus also takes temps. Why does it concern you? Aren’t you happy that, if you have a fever both you and the ship’s doc will be able to take proactive measures? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are not currently taking temperatures. I boarded in Barcelona 10 days ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberts2005 Posted September 12, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2023 On Vista now. Facial recognition is not working, so I assume no temperature being taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
