Thank you

We are joining the ship in Rome and wondered what testing facilities are available either at the port or in Rome itself. Does the certificate have to be in English? Has anyone any experience of boarding in Rome? We are looking forward to the trip once we get this all sorted!! Thanks

I have to agree - That second week we actually saw someone in an anorak jacket and flat cap in the MDR in the evening! Never seen this before. Also agree in the theatre it was a case of " mask rule doesn't mean me!"

We are on the QM to New York, Halifax and Boston at the end of June/July. I am a little concerned about the news that COVID cases have been rising both on board and in New York and Brooklyn. What we don’t want to happen is that on board activities such as spa etc get cancelled because of an outbreak. We have already transferred this holiday (booked before COVID) so we’re getting worried. Our cabin has already been changed because they need it for COVID isolation. Evidently the crew new to the ship in Southampton have to isolate in a cabin for 7 days! I wonder how that affects staffing levels on board. What about speakers do they have to isolate too? Also testing - we have to test 24 hours before embarking and then again before NY - do we also have to test again before Boston and again before disembarking in NY. It’s all starting to look like a not very relaxing and enjoyable cruise. Does anyone have any latest info on the ship and what is happening? I believe QM is on orange level and being investigated by the CDC in the US. It’s all very scary!!
