Through October 31, Celebrity has committed to transporting passengers who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 home via private air ambulance at the company’s expense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtide Posted August 1, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2021 What does Celebrity consider “home”. Many passengers had to fly to FLL to board from other states, or for that matter , other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medical evacuation provision of travel insurance will fly you home in an air ambulance after you have received initial care in the nearest appropriate hospital. If you require a higher level of care or extended care, you may be evacuated if the attending physician, receiving physician, and the insurance company concur. If you do not have insurance, you pay for it or stay where you are. It is nothing like the assistance provided by Royal and Celebrity in the current situation. Testing positive in itself is not a medical emergency requiring air evac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly you to the port so you can drive across the US potentially infecting those you come in contact with? Or put you in isolation at the port city for 10 days? not a lot of good options is there. Get vaccinated snd hope you aren’t the very very low probable one to test positive. den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She and a lot others at the hospital where she works got very sick during Jan 2020. They didn’t know what it was. Later they discovered it was from Covid. When vaccinations were available she got both. This May she tested positive. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 According to the latest communications from Celebrity, if your neighbor tests positive, she can't cruise. There are no guarantees....well....for anything in life.

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 And so did a good Dr friend who was vaccinated, but the medical personnel are exposed to much higher levels of Delta COVID. And even realizing not all fully vaccinated infections are reported, the level of infections of vaccinated is 0.008%.So yes, possible, but not even close to probable. So worrying about having to fly back to get your car because you tested positive after you recover/finish isolation is not something to worry about. Again, this is a continuing Pandemic…..a Pandemic of the Unvaccinated. I’d be much more ‘worried’, no Angry, about those around us who won’t get vaccinated. Even my highly allergic friends have been vaccinated under Dr oversight, so the excuses are more than minimally rational. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
