Covid precautions.

Happy New Year all,

A question for anyone on Marina this New Years day from one joining later this month in Santiago (Perhaps)

Due to the understandable changes needed for health and safety at this time, is the gym open and also the sauna and steam rooms?

I do love some gym time and a relax after my workout.

Would hate to be onboard for 50 days and unable to use these facilities.

Also what is the general atmosphere? Much evening socialising?

All or any replies will be gratefully received.

 

I have posted this message on the role call as well.

Someone on the ATW Roll Call said gym on Insignia is “business as usual.”’

Thanks for that.

I think that IF the cruise goes ahead there may well be a lot of sea days.

we shall all need to work off some of the extra pounds we will inevitably gain from the wonderful food on Oceania

I understand from your other posts that it is mostly business as usual regarding gym etc on current ships.

One of the things that might benefit Oceania is size, at least as it pertains to entertainment extravaganzas. Harder to complete employee rolls when you need 20 or 40 to do an act, than when you need 14-20. 

Guess we'll find out. Can't talk now, got to get packing!

Alex, if you still plan to be on Riviera April 4, can you email me direct for discussion and planning excursions

 Susiesan8 at gmail.com

There are a few others from the roll call talking with each  other. I'll be watching for updates while you are on Riviera next week.

We're joining you on Tuesday.  How do you know we will be four of 500?

Of course, unsubstantiated. However another 1/4 guest said they had spoken with O and were told the ship was at 38% capacity and that was quite before the weekend's testing. Others have said they counted cabins available and came up with 88% - obviously it must have been quite a bit before the weekend.

So all a bunch of rubbish, but if that 38% is anywhere near correct ...

The 88% was for the cruise on the 14th, but it was posted on the 1/4 roll call were Jan posted

Thanks - hard to keep up where I am reading what. 

If there's 12% vacancy before December 30th ... at sailing, maybe 75%? Who knows how far it will fall.

What does it matter? The ship will cruise at reduced capacity. Be happy for the positive effect on the space and crew ratios.

Amen and ditto Flatbush,

We were on Riviera’s first return to sailing cruise and there were fewer than 400 guests aboard and it was fantastic.  Actually we were on the first 4 segments and had the most awesome cruises ever.  If the numbers have shrunk to these levels, then the guests that choose to sail will be well distanced and masks will be provided and required.  They will have access to the Specialty restaurants at will as we dined in them 9 of 10 nights.We went to the GDR one night because my wife wanted Jacques Chicken for dinner. Have fun and stay safe and enjoy your fabulous Oceania family while on board. They are so appreciative you are sailing with them. 
Should you choose or have chosen to opt out, that is good too.  Everyone gets to make their own decisions. We all make our own choices based on our personal circumstances.  
Ciao and stay safe and sail well and enjoy.
