I can't say what happened on this cruise(Sept 27th), I was on the previous cruise for 30 days. No, I did not get covid on the ship, but someone we know did and she said that they were not allowed to separate (because one tested positive, the other didn't at first and they wanted to have separate cabins) She stated she was told the covid deck was full(so this part may seem like speculation but it is what she said exactly). So they stayed in the room together and both ended up testing positive. I have no reason not to believe this person who I know.
We did test positive the very day we got home, and have been pretty sick since then, on day 11 now and still testing positive.
Anyone can believe what they want, I don't really care honestly. I am just reporting what happened on the 30 days I was onboard the Island. I only responded the first time because I have seen posts from OP and I like them and I thought they should know about the covid that was onboard just before they boarded. Then I didn't respond anymore because I didn't want to take away from their live report, but now the cruise is over.
I gave an honest report of what I saw (all the covid tables, the letter from the captain and the announcement that everyone had to wear masks indoors anyone who was on that cruise knows that is what happened) and of what I heard from a reliable source who experienced covid onboard. Believe whoever you want, me who was actually onboard or a person who has no knowledge of what happened on the cruise starting Aug 28 and ending Sept 27 who said I was speculating...... I was not speculating at all. I was just trying to help people, I won't be doing that again. Good luck!
