For what it is worth, I've learned from Oceania that passengers testing positive for Covid while on board will be required to quarantine for 5 days in a cabin other than the one they have booked. I assume this means the ship will have an area reserved for covid-positive individuals. The cabinmate will also be required to quarantine for at least 24 hours and will be allowed to return to the cabin if they test negative. I was not made aware of any distinction in this policy for vaccinated or unvaccinated passengers. I think this will discourage people who are exhibiting minor symptoms from being tested, which probably increases the risk of further spread on the cruise. In my view, just another reason why I think Oceania decision to lift the vaccination policy is bad.
