Seems like this deck has been used for covid on several ships. Freewinds? The prison ship? Sorry, my bad. 🤣 No idea. Was there when we arrived and when we left. As to deck 3, surprised anyone on there as we were told couldn't access gangway on 2 forward by going from centrum elevators through decks 2, 3, or 4. Told to use forward stairs or elevators.

Seems like they are offloading I’ll crew at different stops. Guess we will see what’s in store for us. The person who gave me the number of crew also said at 5% positivity cruises get canceled. I don’t know if this is total onboard population or just crew. I also don’t know where he got this information. Crew is currently at 10.5% based on the 755 crew number I saw. The head beverage guy (not sure actual title) was missing last night and nowhere to be found today. They are very quiet (ie no information) on what’s going on. You only know if crew tells you anything. But not really sure what we’d do with the information at this point. I would hope everyone plans on taking appropriate precautions when getting off. Given some can’t follow basic safety measures onboard I know that’s wishful thinking. But to be honest, those same people probably wouldn’t change their behavior even if we were given more information. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already difficult when they have to practice safety protocols, and not being able to step ashore in the ports. However, the conditions on a ship with a mass outbreak must be horrendous for the crew. You can isolate roommates. But, they're working in close quarters. What about fellow workers in the department? Who stepped into the shower room when one of the infected was un-masked. Hope that RCI will follow the example of AIDA, MSC and NCL. Pause a ship when there's a mass outbreak. That's the only way to stop the contagion, and safely resume. This. The conversation I had with the crew member was essentially all of this. There were some passengers who were upset at being told to put on their masks. The passenger responded with cheers and got a very blunt I’m not joking put on your mask response. Crew said I hope they go complain - customer service will back me up. These are the people none of the crew want onboard. They are putting crews health and livelihoods at risk by refusing to follow safety guidelines. We all knew the risks getting onboard, crew included. I don’t think it is too much for crew to ask us to follow safety protocols while we’re on vacation so they can continue to earn a living. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyOverGirl Posted January 7, 2022 Author #144 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Well, besides today's very sad news it has been a good day. Had breakfast and lunch in the MDR and have held down a lounge chair at the pool. It feels a little less busy out here today. Tonight is formal night and we're going to Chef's Table. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I thought Everbridge only did warnings and emergencies. I didn't know the cruise line was using them for notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalC Posted January 8, 2022 #147 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So it mentions compensation. Do all the cruises listed get compensation or only the ones recently departing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Everbridge only did warnings and emergencies Everbridge does notifications with assured delivery. They can keep sending you messages via email, text, and phone until you take action to acknowledge receipt. So yes, used for emergency notifications as well as things like cruise cancellations.
