Completely follow your logic chief, but databases are established to be searchable, sortable and "public" should mean public. Should be as accessible as the CDC inspection reports. That said, I lost a great deal of faith in the accuracy of the reporting system while aboard ship (long TP) during the big shutdown.

Thanks for the straight answer. Got to love government transparency.

Depends on the extent of the outbreak. Can't sanitize everything in a few hours and the B2B passengers generally resist being run through a sanitizing fog.😁

No doubt about it!

We are boarding Radiance in 5 days, so are closely following. No, we are not germaphobes. After over 40 cruises, mostly on Royal, this is the first time I've ever heard of (and read multiple confirmations) of a Captain ever making a general ship-wide announcement about an outbreak. That, coupled with the delayed boarding formally announced for tomorrow's arrival/departure, would lead me to believe it is more than one or two isolated incidents. Since the ship is on day 11 of a 12-night cruise, it is highly unlikely that they would get it from the hotel or airplane in transit due to the short gestation period - but certainly could have been exposed and brought it aboard at a port stop. In any event, generally a good deep sanitation of the ship will probably knock this down quickly. Chief - generally how soon would you expect the CDC pre-arrival form to be available on-line for viewing? Will have no effect on our cruise plans, but curious as to the extent reported.

Reading on social media that there has been an outbreak of Noro on the Radiance in sufficient numbers for the Captain to make a public announcement. Anyone here currently on board confirm?

I've always believed that with a guarantee you should expect to get the worst cabin in that class (noise, location, obstruction, etc.) and anything you get better that is a bonus.

After the 1st of which year? That is the real question.

A dinner on the Meravigilia; about halfway through our cruise last year I mentioned to our waiter I was surprised at the lack of pasta on the YC menu (for an Italian line). He asked for my favorite, which is linguini & clams, white sauce. Next evening I was not presented with a menu - but was served a very freshly made seafood linguini that was absolutely awesome!

Read everything on an offer very carefully. Most have an exclusion for preexisting and/or known conditions. Wording may be critical in your situation.

Before the dock was built. BUT we are 3 for 3 at Ocean Cay. Have backed off of RC the last few years - doesn't seem like we fit their targeted demographics anymore.

We are 0 for 6 at CC. Have been by there - but have never been on the island. Those misses were in the days before they turned it into an amusement park though.

Also a higher point D+ (close to 500) that gave up pursuing the drive to P several years ago. Between the erosion of perks, the change to "amusement park of the seas" and now the higher pricing, we are doing more X (yes, I know common ownership) and MSC Yacht Club (only). They present much more value for our cruising $. RC has never really understood that loyalty is a 2-way street.

Didn't say they were under the pool. OS's are located on deck 10 - pool is located on deck 11, but they are mostly under the Doghouse as I stated.

All of the Radiance OS are under the pool deck. However, on an Alaska cruise it is unlikely that there will be huge parties in the wee hours since it will, in all likelihood, be fairly cold. That said I think 1064 is located very close to underneath the front of the Dog-House, which is only open limited hours. Will let you know in about 2 months!
