Traveling to other countries ADA does not apply so I would be interested in what other countries do. I believe the cruise industry can set other rules as they are not US flagged.

I hope you find some happiness on this cruise! My wife and I are having a blast, so much so we haven’t found anything to complain about.

I was on the Koningsdam May 7-14 I never saw anything about isolation cabins. I walked all the floors over the course of the trip. I had relatives on other floors. We did have a fire in the trash compacting room which was contained to the trash compactor, as well as a death on our floor/hallway. Other than that the trip was uneventful. We tested COVID negative on Friday so that we could fly home Saturday. The ship was pretty lax on the masking...supposedly you had to wear a mask getting on/off the ship but we never saw anyone wearing a mask at any of the ports. I am vaccinated and work in the healthcare industry. I am pretty ok with COVID...not the end of the world for me.

We got off the Koningsdam May 7-14. Gala nights were Sunday and Wednesday...if I remember correctly.

Nope, you only need a test if flying from CA to USA. If we tested positive we knew we could still get home by simply crossing the border at a land crossing.

We just got off an RT Vancouver Alaska trip on Koningsdam May 14. They did not advertise it, but all you had to do was go to the customer desk and register for the Friday COVID testing. You received a time, and ship medical staff tested everyone that signed up. Approximately 30 minutes later if you did not receive a phone call in your room, you were negative. Your results were then delivered to your room that evening. According to the Medical staff, nobody tested positive from those of us that signed up. The testing was free. I do not know if there was testing at the shoreside or not. Per the Captain, ship staff were tested twice daily.

We were on the Koningsdam May 7-14. The Captain said we were at 70% capacity as the staff was at 75% capacity.

I was on the Koningsdam May 7-14. We met our two room attendants shortly after embarkation. They asked if we wanted 1 or 2 daily services, and what times for both. We chose 10am and 7pm. Each day we had a towel caricature, and chocolates. We bypassed one am service on a sea day as we decided to watch some movies. Later that evening they cleaned and did a turn down and cleanup.

We just got off the Koningsdam on May 14. We stopped at the front desk and inquired about our COVID test. The Friday before returning to port there was a COVID test performed. You had to ask beforehand there was not an announcement about it. Just for the people that inquired. Medical staff swabbed people and you returned to your room and await the results. Per medical staff none of the 100 or so people who were tested to return to the US were positive.
