I was sure relieved that we had pre-cruise testing on our Scandinavian cruise on Silhouette now in June. Despite pre-cruise testing, we still had over 1% COVID positive cases after a week, and that with only 910 passengers onboard! I can only imagine how bad it would have been without the pre-tests. A couple of fellow Roll Call folks were in isolation, and one person apparently real sick too.
On a lighter note, we scored an onboard move-up due to someone else's pre-test misfortune. Bet this wouldn't have happened without COVID testing either.
Hope X keeps pre-testing for all of our benefit - especially in keeping their wonderful crew safe. COVID isolation takes a serious financial toll on them.
Cruising right now is a gamble I'm willing to take.
