I didn’t notice this prior so it might be new?!

Emerald deck 8 also has fire doors closed, midship starboard side 

Replacement port of Grand Turk 7am-12:45 

It took the Captain 2 attempts to dock this morning due to heavy winds.

You are allowed to get off and explore 

(beautiful beach, Margaritaville is fun but not much to do outside the port area) 

We are here today with the Carnival Freedom 

Day 9, Monday 

*Some fitness classes have a cost but they no longer list $ signs next to those.

We are on the Sky Princess on 1/22 out of Ft. Lauderdale.  We are in Group A, green line, but no time was given.  What time were you able to board.  AND what night was lobster night in the MD?  We want to book two specialty dining but not on lobster night.  Thank you.

 

We were Group A 11:30-12:00 and we started to board at 11:40

So what happens if one of you test positive, but show no symptoms? Also are you able to get back on and pack up your stuff yourself?  Thanks.

-I brought two self tests with me to actually test the day prior(I don’t like surprises)

-We are packing up before we test, (we change cabins)

-If you test positive someone will pack for you.

-Asymptomatic people are currently quarantined.

-Positive asymptomatic people will not be able to continue and have to leave.

Just confirming that the turn around test will be done on Weds…more details to follow

Based on the past couple of cruises I would estimate anywhere between 1400 and 1800

I Agree. Hoping closer to 1400 but doubtful.

Appreciate everyone’s contributions to the thread.  Would it be possible to confirm if there are non alcoholic beers available? (Odouls, Heineken zero). We sail on Enchanted 2/8 Thank you 

Hello- I asked the bartender outside Princess Live and he told me they carry Heineken Zero

Is the entire aft on Dolphin being used for quarantine? If you don't mind saying, what cabin were you moved from? Were you given a comparable or better one in exchange?

I feel that if you get bumped from a desired cabin, you should at least be offered a meta upgrade. Many of us take a lot of time choosing our cabins even if they are in a "lower" category.

 

I just went exploring and none of the aft cabins on Dolphin-deck 9 are currently being used for quarantine. I was originally in D601 which sits right outside a set of fire doors. Even if this cabin isn’t in the Q zone I could understand leaving it empty.

We were moved to Aloha-deck 12 which is fine with us, we are currently on Riveria-deck 14. We are still trying to figure out what area we prefer on this class of ships.

We will be on the 1/19 sailing. Have you heard an estimate of how many will be on that sailing? Thanks.

Haven’t heard yet. It took till Day 2 to get actual numbers for the current  sailing.

I have a theory that it may be more than this sailing because we were moved next cruise from an aft dolphin cabin  which is the deck being used for quarantine (cabins set aside are based on passenger numbers) 

Again, just a theory

Sunday, Day 8 Sea Day 

(A cold  front is coming through  Sunday/Monday so we will have rain and lower temps for the last 2 days)

I scanned the App and didn’t see any listed but I’ll ask a bartender directly tomorrow.

That sucks but when you cruise these days, you need to be flexible and ready for anything 

No biggie for us we had no plans to leave the ship in St Thomas. It’s a definitely go with the flow situation right now.

it’s just more of a reminder to keep space as much as possible so we don’t test positive on turn around day.

what day / date will you be in Grand Turk ?  we will be there in about 2 weeks  on the REGAL - it's our only port, so hoping you get to dock and us also

We will be in Grand Turk Monday, possibly,  depending on our Covid threshold. 

Today it was announced that we are not allowed to dock in St Thomas due to our Covid numbers (no numbers were given) 

We are swapping St Thomas for a sea day and adding Grand Turk on what was a Sea Day.

Those infected have been quarantined along with close contacts. 

15 months now

Additional extensions

Thank you Jaden13 but I am asking if an additional 3 months has been approved. 
I know about the initial 3 month extension but have heard an additional extension has been granted.  Help 

This may help

Hope someone can help with this. I have emailed Emed twice and they do not respond 
My binax test kits show an expiration date of  2021 -11 - 05.  I assume this to be Nov 5 2021
With the 3 month extension that would make them February 5 2022. But I have heard rumors that they have been extended an additional 3 months which would make the expiration date May 5 2022.  Can someone please clear this up for me.  We have 6 kits and cruises booked in April.  Will these kits qualify ??  Thank you in advance. 

If you do go to medical with just a cold and test negative there is a chance you still get quarantined for 24 hours until you test negative a second time. 

If you have allergies just be prepared with your own meds.

It looks like they're pushing lots of guest entertainers. 

 

Are they letting people off the ship to shop in the building alongside the ship?

Yes, you just aren’t allowed to leave the port area

Day 7, Saturday Dominica

Di they charge a fee for room service ?

No fee for room service unless you order top tier items like sushi (you pay for the sushi)
