Will be interesting to see their definition of up to date will be. Ok by me. We're both "fully vaccinated" and boosted and have cards to prove it. Surprised Princess has not already required the booster part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted January 6, 2022 #52 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, deadzone1003 said: Bad math and facts. "700 passengers & crew" is very unlikely. The crew would be 1,200 if ship is at full capacity. There were only around 700 passengers for this cruise. The article refers to 25% of 700 (or 175 est) passengers being tested, resulting in 12 positives. 12/175 would be a 6.87% positive rate which is pretty high. But, this is a virus where if you are sick, you are likely to not know it. 187 pax + 1200 crew (tested weekly / biweekly) = 1387. 12 out of 1387 = 0.8652% but we should know soon as it'll be yellow or red once full reporting is done. They tested all crew on the 2 ships i was on once someone was positive Edited January 6, 2022 by Ombud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellaleah Posted January 6, 2022 #55 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I live in Arizona and I can’t wait to get on safely because I know it will be safer than going to Costco or the grocery store here . Maybe 50% of people are masked, no mandates. I heard a Dr (pretty sure it was local) on TV say that if you leave your house, you will probably get Covid. My family has had it twice. I know the ship will be safer! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted January 6, 2022 #56 Share Posted January 6, 2022 @deadzone1003is right!! The 12 positives in the news are all passengers (6.4%). Still less than our 21.4% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ombud Posted January 7, 2022 #61 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) IMHO It only mattered if the ship became red but passengers have embarked and the ship is ready to leave Edited January 7, 2022 by Ombud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafem Posted January 7, 2022 #62 Share Posted January 7, 2022 As someone who was on the Grand, the only thing hubs and I could keep saying during the interview with the complaining couple was "shut up Stewart"! Anyone quarantined at Travis will understand that! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand that color stuff. I just heard that the 12 was of the % tested not the total passenger/crew. Where's the understanding of a proper sample to be tested? If I test only the NFL players for concussions, that does not mean the total population has that % of concussions. Such non-sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishelleMcc Posted January 7, 2022 #64 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The Grand is currently sailing to Hawaii. (embarked 1-4-22) Pax have been given notices that they will be tested twice on their voyage. I calculated the timing from the notice posted in that thread. It should be the 3rd & 10th day. I am hoping that Pax will be reporting what the resulting numbers are and how the ship responds. It's a nail biter for sure! even this close to cruising! Yikes! Also, we have a friend who boarded Ruby Princess today (she's doing a B to B - Mexico Riviera/Hawaii) so I will be messaging with her. Hang in there everyone!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still not going to take the chance of getting the Covid Virus and being locked in my cabin for the rest of the the cruise. Tony I agree. I just canceled my cruise on the Ruby for January 31st. I don't want to be locked in a room by myself in the covid wing if I test positive. Not after paying all that money for a cruise. I will rebook during the summer and hope things have calmed down by then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tested all crew on the 2 ships i was on once someone was positive However, that KTVU article referred to 25% of 700 passengers being tested and 12 were positive. Of course, KTVU could be misleading and not conveying all the facts. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I'm on the Ruby Princess for the Jan. 16th cruise to Hawaii and I'm not planning to cancel unless someone dies on this current cruise to Mexico. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not afraid of catching a cold which is what the Omicron is right now. P.S. you had 0.6% originally and you have 0.8652% now. As a former Math teacher, I can't give you a F - not allowed to give D's & F's in California. My point is there is a fair chance you can catch covid on a cruise, but you wouldn't know it unless you are tested. Unfortunately, they are doing more tests, so be prepared that all you had planned may not go according to plan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ruby like most of the ships is Yellow status, which is just below red - orange is less than yellow. To be yellow the passenger positive would be greater than .1% OR just one crew positive case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The codes do not have much meaning or value at this time because covid is pretty much on every given ship. The CDC has not found, in their investigations, any reason to force any ships to stop sailing, as in red status, even though there have been a fair number of cases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erni Posted January 7, 2022 #70 Share Posted January 7, 2022 8 hours ago, pris993 said: I plan to cruise on 1/31 on the Ruby, I don't expect the crew to be police. If I don't like what is going on I will take responsibility for myself. Just like you do when you go out in public off the ship. LIfe goes on. Pris993 see you onboard on the 31st. Had a lot of friends and family ask me today if we were still going based on the news reports. Told them it was blown way out of proportion by the media and yes we were still going unless things really worsen. I know passengers have been vaccinated and need to be tested 48 hrs before boarding. When I go shopping or out to eat I don’t know anything about vaccination status of people I’m around. of course everyone needs to do what they feel is right for them. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
