RICHARDandSTEFAN Posted February 3, 2022 Author #307 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yes. Roof is closed. Seas are quite rough and very windy. We are being tossed around as the reality of our last few days sets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good2gocruise Posted February 3, 2022 #308 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Not much of pool pic but all I have on my phone from today. With the roof closed its warm and a lot of folks are enjoying it but yes its rough and there is wave action in the pool. Still having lots of fun! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are also passing through the NE Trades zone, so if experiencing the predominant NE Trades, they are from almost right ahead, which creates high winds across the outer decks. The stabalisers also have no effect on head winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was 1 positive a few days after Tahiti. More info if you go back in this thread. That is all it takes with this few passengers to go yellow. Seems to take about a week to show up on CDC site, depending on the reporting period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually about 450+ passengers and about 400 staff so out of over 850. It was very good considering we left as Omicron was starting to peak. I think the Viking Protocols work, but everyone needs to do their part. There were also 3 cases a few days after we left port that probably caught it during travel. Also, a small number were escorted off before we left port because they didnt pass the initial PCR. (I didn't see this reported but we saw through the windows as we ate dinner, after waiting in our room until we passed our PCR) I also know of at least 1 person who didnt pass their pretavel PCR, so they had to cancel at the last minute. Their were probably others. I'm so glad we went, but I understand why some folks backed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
