DaniDanielle Posted February 8, 2020 #26 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Best of luck to all. I feel terrible and I am not even on this cruise. It is so sad, especially for people who planned this for a year or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on one of the shortened Oasis sailings due to the hurricane a few years ago. Best cruise EVER- ship was probably less than half full 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted February 8, 2020 #28 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Kind of weird. Let 5000 people who were exposed to something spread everywhere but not let new people that haven't been exposed on because results aren't back on folks that left. Unless they have a larger than normal number of crew that have flu-like symptoms and haven't been tested. If the four came back positive then Royal could be worrying about the crew that were not tested being positive... This is a heavy time of year for CDC with lots of flu and Noro going on so they might not get to these four tests for quite a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure as a lot of people from NJ/NY are usually on these Bayonne cruises. Let's see what their final offer is. #justiceforjedge 🙂 Edited February 8, 2020 by marci22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't because of a weather issue, there will be alot of people that just won't get on because of afraid of getting sick. Really, think about, is it worth getting sick over...5 day cruise in the cold? Edited February 8, 2020 by Jimbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone tests positive for corona I think they would cancel this cruise. If not, you might as well go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My health is more important. Edited February 8, 2020 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that if they had a positive test the next couple sailings will g3 cancelled as they quarantine the crew for 14 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If CDC test is positive then the crew will have to go into quarantine mode and this sailing plus future sailing(s) on Anthem will be in play for cancellations. The bigger PR issue will be the pax they let leave yesterday that have now fanned out everywhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they gave advice on what to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just PR, of course, but a public health issue. Since there was enough concern that one or more passengers on board the prior cruise might have Coronavirus and others exposed to it that people have been tested and the following cruise has been delayed, I just don’t understand why the passengers were allowed to disembark yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s up to the CDC, I don’t think Royal can make the decision to hold thousands of passengers hostage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the CDC thought there was a risk of exposure to passengers or crew we would all still be on the ship confined to our rooms out in the Atlantic somewhere.

I know this sucks for all involved, but it is really completely out of Royals hands and these things happen. There is absolutely no reason they should be expected to do anything except a cruise refund. I've lost days at Disney World twice due to hurricanes and didn't get a dime from anyone. I've had numerous flights cancelled due to weather and again nothing. I know it isn't the vacation you planned, but go make the best of your time off in NY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where there is probably more corona than Anthem of the Seas. Someone just posted they saw pictures of crew that left the ship sightseeing around NYC.
