I would be fine with the quarantine in MY own cabin….I don’t want to be moved. That’s my beef with this whole COVID quarantine on Princess.

I’ve been on both the Coral and Majestic and based on your comment I would go with the Coral. I love both of these ships but if you want smaller with less crowds then you want to sail on the Coral. I sailed on the Coral through the Panama Canal (before shutdown) and it was heavenly. Although the ship was at full capacity it never felt crowded to me. I was on the Majestic 2 weeks ago and it was at around 85% capacity and definitely felt crowded. If the Majestic was at full capacity I think it would feel very crowded. My favorite sailing on the Majestic was last year when it was at only 50% capacity. At that time it felt very spacious and it’s a beautiful ship but the Coral is also a beautiful ship.

Actually I believe Norovirus was handled differently than the current protocol for COVID. On our last cruise before shutdown our friend contracted Noro and was confined to HIS cabin for 3 days. What has been reported for those who contract COVID is they are moved to another cabin and have to isolate for anywhere from 5 to 10 days. For me this is a huge difference. If I contract COVID I want to stay in my current cabin and not be moved to an isolation deck. I normally am staying in a mini-suite and I want to stay in my own room if I’m sick. Not be moved to some strange and most likely smaller cabin. I hope that someday Princess will begin to treat passengers with COVID the same as they have treated passengers with Norovirus in the past.

@Ken the cruiserEnjoy your day in Costa Rica. It’s a beautiful country and one of my favorite places to vacation by land and sea. I hope you’ll post photos later of the wildlife you see today. @marden1970You will love the sloths on the shore excursions in Costa Rica. Here are a couple photos from our port stop there in 2019.
