Health questionnaire-pre boarding

[petuniaflower]

Does anyone have a copy or know the questions for the pre board health questionnaire? 

[FTLCruiseGal]

If I recall, they ask if you have had covid symptoms in past 14 days, tested positive, or been in close contact with anyone that tested positive.  I am sure I missed a few, but those are the standard questions lol cruise lines are asking.

Just wondering how this applies to health care workers, who may have been exposed/worked with close contacts within 14 days but have indeed tested negative prior to sailing?

[FTLCruiseGal]

Great question — for Royal.  No one here would be able to answer that, unless they are a healthcare worker that has recently cruised.

What happens if you admit to having symptoms or been in close contact? Can't really lie about a test I think/hope.

You are sent to a secondary screening where you are evaluated by a health care professional, or by a member of the ship's medical team.

You're denied boarding. That's what happened to me. I had negative tests, minor symptoms and a close contact who had tested positive. Easily I could have lied and boarded. But I told the truth and was instantly denied boarding.

 

I tested positive for covid the following day.

 

So for all you currently on the Navigator, you're welcome. 🙂

 

in the end, i'm glad I did. Happier to be sick at home than quarantined in cabin or worse, disembarked in Mexico. 

 

Royal said i'd be refunded, so i'll cruise again soon enough.

That's a long way to go to not board a ship, good for you for doing the right thing. And yeah you're right, would suck to test positive while on board. Any problems coming back to Canada or are you still in Florida?

On the health questionnaire does that mean 14 days from when you were in contact with a person o r 14 days from when they tested positive. If they tested positive 5 days after you had contact when does the 14 days begin?

It was Los Angeles where the ship was, and we were denied boarding via the app, just after noon the day prior to boarding, which happened to be just a few hours prior to our flight, so we were able to cancel the flights and didn't have to cross any borders.  Had we flown, we'd be stuck in LA as a PCR test would have been required to come back.

14 days starts 14 days prior to answering the question. If you had contact with them in that time and they subsequently tested positve (OR developed covid like symptoms), then that's it, you don't sail unless you lie.

I’m quite sure the questions are subject to change.
 

Hint: so far the answers are no.  

as a port  checkin staff member said to me on a back to back;  “You studied hard for the test, didn’t you”

When does the health questionnaire become available on the app? Did you get an email to complete it?

About 24 hours before check in time. Maybe.

Just after noon the day prior to boarding. I believe the app notifies you.

We had the scenario where we couldn't answer the last question with a "no" about coming in contact with someone who had covid the past 14 days as there was a case in my son's class.  He had a negative antigen test and also negative PCR test (and sat no where near the kid).  Royal said we would be denied boarding.  We didn't want to drive all that way to confirm test this, so we cancelled.
