I'm guessing they are not allowed to discuss though...I hope you enjoy the rest of your cruise. We're definitely having a great time. I haven't come right and asked about COVID but if there was an issue in our area they probably would have had my daughter take a test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's either CSO option- a ship that did a simulated voyage and can cruise without a vaccine requirement, OR one that did not do a simulated voyage and that has a 95%+ vaccinated passenger requirement. Both would have a conditional sailing certificate. Edited July 17, 2021 by arkaine23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival shut down from the mid ship elevators to the forward elevators on Tuesday and it has remained closed. I was told by mutiple crew members that it was done because of CDC protocols. This is right outside my cabin so I have had mutiple opportunities to speak with crew members and someone who's cabin was in the closed area. They moved his luggage to another cabin without telling him. Why is is shut down? are they using it for quarantine area? if its because of a COVID Case in a cabin why the hallway? Just fog the dam area and its good to go. Or is COVID walking through walls now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted July 17, 2021 #55 Share Posted July 17, 2021 So... Do we have a problem that's not hit the public yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGNewton Posted July 17, 2021 Author #56 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Please post what you all find out.....we really want to crusie, but will now take extra precautions when inside......it must be people coming in sick and not getting flagged, perhaps vac? Maybe Carnival will require testing for all? Always found an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.....but must be within reason....so thankful we have the Moderna shots..... Hopefully they can clean the ship quickly and get those off that are the problem, but treat them with dignity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobster1313 Posted July 17, 2021 #58 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Today is the last sea day and the shops are closed.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted July 17, 2021 #62 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Wow, Carnival’s handling of this seems vastly different from Celebrity. Celebrity seemed so transparent when there were cases. Of course we don’t know for sure that the Horizon has a positive case, but it sure seems suspicious with the hall closed off and now the shops closed and no real answers. I hope we do get some answers. Maybe someone boarding the next cruise can find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very difficult getting an answer but guest services said that there were a few people that worked in the shops tha weren't feeling well so they were all tested and are now isolated.

Some people should probably just wait until next year so they won't get so stressed out about these things. Even vaccinated people can test positive. Those who are fearful when someone on the cruise is quarantined or fearful of being around the few unvaccinated passengers who tested negative before boarding, should probably just wait until next year to cruise and let the rest of us live our lives. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The protocols seem to be working and they're being proactive in their handling of the situation. Closing the stores on the last day proves safety is a priority.

Specifically, there would be 3 or more either on the 1st voyage or 2nd or both. These could have been detected on land up to 5 days after the cruise. Given the close/cleanup of some passenger space, I suspect they were not late sending their daily data to the CDC.

aquasea Posted July 18, 2021 #72 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I was on this ship and just got home today. There was a crew member working in the gift shops that was ill. They closed the shops for the last day because of it. Word has it from others on the ship guest services told them the crew member tested negative, but they kept things closed just in case. We had a great cruise, no problems. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGNewton Posted July 21, 2021 Author #75 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Looks like another investigation has started as if today? The last time (around the 7/16) the CDC Ship Status said than investigation was conducted and is under observation. I'm glad they are testing and quarantine if needed - will be a way of cruising for a while. Other guest may be asked to leave pending they're port location. Glad we purchased trip insurance regardless of being VAX'ed. Oh well we will do all we can to have fun and use common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
