Gotta be cheaper than a ship’s transfer, yes? We have have used Uber or Lyft for years to get to the airport from the ship. And did so this past Dec. 23rd after our cruise before yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how many passengers and crew are Covid positive today? Has it got any worse? I'm looking at moving my Jan.23rd cruise to March 6th. Almost the same but one island different. Not that it really matters since you seem to be skipping islands anyways. Half the suites are still empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the suites are still empty. Don’t know the exact number- maybe 16 guests and 20 pax, but a very low positivity rate. My guess is that ports have been spooked by the CDCs advice not to sail. Pushing back til March might be wise at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, plenty of activities. There is a Q & A with the captain at 11. That should be interesting! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realaleforme Posted January 5, 2022 #419 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Anything interesting to share from the Q & A with the Captain on the current state of COVID onboard? Updated numbers? Plan for the next cruise? Anything? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdogmolly Posted January 5, 2022 #420 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Just a reminder that TA OBC is generally refundable. A donation to the crew welfare fund will be appreciated and can be done at the Guest Relations desk on deck 4. Azamara OBC is non refundable and can’t be used for this 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you We learned that the cruise after ours will have only 200 passengers and that the allowable positivity rate for many ports is only between 1 and 1.5%. Less than we have been, but Tortola let us in anyway. Still waiting to hear about Nassau (substitute for Key West). Also learned that the CDC has a double standard re quarantining after testing positive. State side, 5 days, cruise. ships 10. So if someone is on day 6 when we arrive in Miami, they can debark, but if in the middle of a cruise would have to do all 10 days. Crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Posted January 5, 2022 #422 Share Posted January 5, 2022 We got a refund on our onboard account for port fees for ports-not-stopped-at. It was about $13 per person. This is a REFRUNDABLE credit. It CAN be donated to the crew welfare account... took less than 2 minutes at the desk on deck 4. Not much, but something. (Dang, we had worked hard to get our account to exactly zero, then these appeared.... what else can you buy for exactly $26.86??) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you No new update yet (that I’m aware of) on the exact number of crew still offline (due to positive test or close contact), however, I can say that service has still been excellent. For whatever it’s worth, Captain said this current cruise was at 586 pax about a week prior to departure, but final number onboard was 517, nationality breakdown from front desk attached. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
