Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We were on a Celebrity Med cruise in 2012 and a Princess Baltic cruise in 2016. Prior to 2012 we had cruised on Holland and Norwegian. The first day of the Celebrity Cruise, the food knocked my shoes off. However after that, the food was indistinguishable from all other cruise lines I had previously used. In general I find cruise food good but not great; I have cruised on Crystal and Paul Gauguin since that Princess 2016 cruise and did find that their food was a notch better-say very good, but still not great. For what it’s worth I have heard Regent is great-but have not tried it. As it is, with “good” food that is way too plentiful, I eat way too much. I’d hate to see how much weight I would gain if I thought the food was great 😄 So I am happy to go on Princess, Celebrity, Holland, and NCL and will go based on itinerary and price. So far, I’ve avoided Carnival and Royal Caribbean, as well as Silversea and Viking…but for differing reasons.
  2. If you have had covid within 90 days you will not get it again and not spread it, which is why CDC does not recommend retest. It is extremely, extremely rare to get Covid with 6 months of a prior infection. Hence CDC -you do not need to take the antigen test either. Zip. Zero. Nada. But at 3 months and 1 day you should, as you could be one of those rare outliers.
  3. So sad your mom is sick. Sadly, you can test negative and still spread. In fact first day or so of symptoms (and they are usually mild) you usually test negative. And likely that day before when you are asymptomatic and minding your own business without any idea of having the virus, you are already spreading-and of course you would test negative. Very tricky.
  4. Take note that there are quite a few countries-Denmark, Norway, Iceland, UK, to just name a few that no longer have vaccination for Covid as an entry requirement (let alone no need for booster) None. No need for even PCR testing. Considering that Princess has only recently required a booster (? this last Saturday), I think it will be quite a while. I presume this is reflexive due to complaints from their recent onboard outbreak. I’m in a similar issue in that medically I can not take the booster and my cruise is in July.
  5. I find this change frustrating. The policy until today was fully vaccinated-but did not require a booster. The sites my itinerary goes to, also do not require a booster. We made our decision to take the cruise based on the information provided prior to today-including the dropping of covid requirements by all of the countries our cruise would visit. Princess now has more strict rules than the US, UK, Iceland, Norway, Denmark. Crazy. My husband and I both had sever chest pain following our second covid vaccine—we are very nervous about getting an additional vaccine.
