Rare Roz Posted July 27, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2021 They must be really sick to be taken away by air ambulance. When you're dealing with thousands of passengers and crew, there are going to be Covid cases, even among the vaccinated. I wouldn't panic if I were onboard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they were really sick possibly reported mild symptoms, the cruise lines have agreed to take passengers off and fly them home privately if they were vaccinated. My guess is they tested positive, they had to quarantine the passenger then were able to arrange flying them home from Juneau which would have the best options for air travel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny0315 Posted July 27, 2021 Author #5 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Yes we all know this is going to happen at times so a unified response by the cruise lines can only help in the pr dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was watching the Juneau webcam people were milling all around the dock. If they ended up on the same bus/boat on a private tour it could be an issue. Otherwise just a little sad news for the first few Alaska cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny0315 Posted July 27, 2021 Author #13 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I don't remember there being discussion on here about the worthiness of posts about Hurtigruten and Aida's issues with Covid cases in Europe not that long ago, when HAL was no where near cruising again, and definitely not there at the time.

GOLDENBONNY Posted July 28, 2021 #21 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think people should stop jumping from each Covid case or stop travelling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atexsix Posted July 28, 2021 #22 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Our local news mentioned an unknown number of passengers they came in contact with are in isolation. That's what I'd be more concerned about, how many people are we talking and what's involved? I'm not afraid of COVID-19, but I am afraid of paying all that money to stare at towel animals and watch forgettable movies.

Rare rafinmd Posted July 28, 2021 #23 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I do wish HAL would do testing at embarkation. There will always be breakthrough cases and testing won't stop the possibility of infections being detected during the cruise, but it will save others onboard from hassles if they don't share the ship with positives that could have been eliminated before the cruise rather than underway.

Another post on CC that turns into a debate of Covid and vaccinations.. aren't there enough already? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny0315 Posted July 28, 2021 Author #25 Share Posted July 28, 2021 This was originally posted just a short time after the two ships arrived in Juneau and was based on Alaskan media reports of public comments by Juneau and state officials along with cruise ship officials. In the larger world of Covid it was not news, but in the smaller world of CC it was!!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
