ipeeinthepool Posted March 8, 2020 #27 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Is it a coincidence that the Regal Princess is also drifting off Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems to be doing circles off the coast of south Florida. Update: Just read on the Princess board that the Regal is being held off the coast awaiting test results on two crew members who recently transferred from the Grand. Hope to be allowed in by noon. This weeks cruise was canceled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl94 Posted March 8, 2020 #29 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I asked the person who posted on Celebrity Captain's Club fb page to confirm which ship they were on but no response. Something not right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0479 Posted March 8, 2020 #30 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Think what going on with another princess ship different from silhouette- news said a third princess ship was being looked at cause it shared a couple staff with one of the other quarantined ships.

cscurlock Posted March 8, 2020 #34 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If it was a heart attack or something else they probably would have air lifted them off. Going all the way back to port is overkill for that. Probably a link to the virus and they just want to make sure its not active. Probably you'll be waiting for a little bit once they fly the test to the ship and then the 6-8 hours for the test to come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtjosh02 Posted March 8, 2020 #38 Share Posted March 8, 2020 On the Regal Princess and it sounds like the Silhouette was waiting for a pilot, I think they are going in now. On the Regal, coast guard is delivering our two test kits now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the problem right now. It would save some time but you still have to return to port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then have to be assessed. So they'd need to be in port anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakigemcam Posted March 8, 2020 #42 Share Posted March 8, 2020 On the Silhouette and no 8am announcement from the Captain like yesterday. The crew is being wonderful but as of last night knew nothing. Haven’t even looked outside yet. It’s very distressing and scary not to know what’s happening. And I could swear the Captain last night used the words “further evaluation.” I may be wrong but my depressed ears perked up when I heard that.

They should at least be honest with the passengers if this is related to virus or not. Not fair to leave you in limbo. Not being transparent just makes it worse. I can deal with most anything just be honest with me! I’m supposed to be on reflection on Friday so watching closely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TMaine Posted March 8, 2020 #46 Share Posted March 8, 2020 We're supposed to sail on Silhouette on Sunday, watching your trip closely. Sorry to hear it has been a bit chaotic, hope you hear something soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although certain ports might prevent you from docking at this point. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
