Joe817 Posted July 16, 2021 #101 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Blerk, I meant to ask you. When you were at Guest Services everyday, picking up a paper copy of the Fun Times, did you have to wait to get it? Another way of putting it....were the lines very long each day you went to pick it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did their review and causally mentioned they were both vaccinated prior to cruise and they tested positive after returning home from the cruise. They think they could have caught the virus on the airplane or airport prior to cruise embark. They said the day before getting off ship they begun to feel bad but did not suspect COVID. It of course can happen will in the future. Hopefully they will recover. They did say they were surprised Carnival had them shoulder to shoulder in one of the restaurants on debark day (guessing it was the holding area prior to debark) good thing most were vaccinated. But they were vaccinated also and still were sick! Safe to say probably others will test positive also.

Do other cruise lines test before disembarkation? I'm surprised Carnival doesn't. It almost seem like they don't want to know if people get Covid. It's certainly harder to do contact tracing when everyone is home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC guidelines for "fully vaccinated" cruises state that fully vaccinated passengers do not have to test before disembarkation. All Carnival cruises so have have met this standard; therefore, they don't have to test. I'll keep my mouth shut about the rest, don't really want to go there... 🤐 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfjock27 Posted July 18, 2021 #110 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thanks for answering all these questions! I know that all staff are in masks, does that include the performers?

Rare ninjacat123 Posted July 18, 2021 #111 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Are people allowed to sit and order drinks like before Covid at Alchemy? Or do you have to order through an app or waiter? Thanks for your review during your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot find it on board your ship, I suggest you find it at a local liquor store in one of your port of calls, since White Hennessy is predominantly sold in the Caribbean nation/islands you will be visiting. A good chance you will find it there. Perhaps at a better price as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say probably others will test positive also. The Vaccine doesn't auto immune you from catching COVID or one of its variants. It does reduce the severity if you do catch it. And as far as I can tell, has prevented deaths from those vaccinated who do catch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, stupid question that is only tangentially related to the thread: What is so special about White Hennessey, other than it isn't available in the US (apparently)? Is it that much better than other light cognacs? Or is it a case of "I can't normally get it, therefore I will hoard it when I can?" Seems like a weird way to market a product: we won't sell it in the US (a major market, to say the least), but will sell similar products (all the other Hennessey cognac types) in the US so you know it isn't a case of being unable to sell in that market, and that way you have to buy it on cruises/vacations to the Caribbean! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
