Non-vaccinated, you do it before boarding the ship? I believe the operative word for the unvaccinated part of the statement is "additional" meaning they will need both the PCR or antigen test prior to arrival like the vaccinated now have to get as well as taking an additional test at the terminal prior to boarding. Unvaccinated guests and children, under 12 years of age, will be required to take an additional antigen test at the terminal prior to embarkation, mid-cruise and on the day before disembarkation.

We will be sailing Equinox so have been following the live blogs with much interest. Love that ship! We've been on it 2x - once over Halloween and though we didn't dress up (except for my Cat ears), it was so much fun to see all of the costumes. Both times we sailed we were in an Aft Corner Suite and I highly recommend them if you so inclined! Best deck is 11 or 9, 8. 12 is right under the restaurant and 10 might be slightly obstructed. Just saying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to the radio, it sounded like the lifeboat belonged to the Oasis of the Seas (sitting right outside PEV). The container ship that followed the Equinox out was telling it to get out of the middle of the channel via the Oasis Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on any other sailing, or leaving from any other port, follow the guidance you get from Celebrity. if you are sailing next week and they have said bring your test results, I would schedule and get my test results to bring, Sorry to be the slow kid, but what was the debacle? I can’t find an obvious thread, plus I was on Equinox this week and if there was a debacle onboard it didn’t impact me. edit: never mind, I figured it out.

Rare NMTraveller Posted August 2, 2021 #85 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) The question that I have after watching these threads the last two days are why are people refusing to disembark? Two days in a row. I do know that X prefers to keep these matters under wraps but it would be nice to know what is going on. Today still went much better than yesterday but apparently still has some problems. Edited August 2, 2021 by NMTraveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted August 2, 2021 #86 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Well, Edge’s passengers we’ve heard reports of refusing to disembark at the end of the cruise…Equinox had some passengers that for whatever reason needed to be taken off before the ship sailed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get the sense that venues are empty due to anything other than the reduced capacity sailing? Or does it seem like folks are avoiding certain areas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cangelmd Posted August 2, 2021 Author #96 Share Posted August 2, 2021 It’s been a rainy morning in Nassau, the catamaran and other boat excursions had to come back because of lightning. We have no off ship plans until a little shopping in Costa Maya. Have heard nothing about passengers being taken off in FLL, although they did urgently page someone to guest services a bit before sailing. All good, although it’s like having your own ginormous yacht 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunHeavyCruiser Posted August 2, 2021 #97 Share Posted August 2, 2021 OT-Miami, it has only been 24 hours aboard but we haven’t noticed any areas being “avoided”. The reduced sailing capacity has just made venues that are usually crowded easier to access. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
