We were on the same cruise and agree with your review, we were indeed very lucky with the weather and the gorgeousness of the Fjordlands. We were truly amazed and even the photos don’t give you the full awesomeness of the area.
We had a great time despite hubby testing positive on the 12th, me having symptoms all week but not testing positive until the 17th so we spent all the second week on our room, making the most of the amazing room service including MDR menu for lunch and dinner and enjoying the balcony. We both had a couple of bad days but overall very mild and we were well looked after.
Getting off was mind boggling with all us deemed close contacts - or still infected gathering after 930am at the Explorers lounge. This lounge with a capacity of 260, filled completely with overflow filling the hall and international cafe until we were able to get off. Given this was the result of 2nd week infections ( I would guesstimate 300 easy) even if the 1st week patients were only 100, that is a pretty big ratio.
people reporting on social media testing positive when they got home as well. Mask compliance was the highest I’ve seen on board so sad the infection rate seemed so great.
can’t wait to be on board again. The coral princess is my favourite ship to date
