Must not be the normal cruisers then, because towels are put on as soon as it is light out and then people go back to bed, then come back 4 hours later for their chair.

We just have nice, polite pax cruising this week.  About like it was when on Symphony.

Possibly Moving Positive Covid Passengers to a lower deck near medical? Would that area include a service elevator?

More likely using the rooms to house crew.

When was last time you sailed?

 

This is the new normal

From some of his comments I’m beginning to wonder if he’s ever sailed.😇

Now that I am retired I am enjoying them more.  It doesn't take a couple days to unwind then start dreading the thought of going back to work the last two days of the cruise.

When it comes right down to it , it has to be one or the other, not different, so which is it?

That's cool but that's because over all you are more relaxed because you are not punching a clock and do anything anytime you want too. So you have a different view on everything in your life now. Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad for you.

Is the internet good enough for Zoom Conference Meetings?

 

Sorry can't continue this, this is off topic and I get blasted for that on CC.

Why does it have to be one or the other?  I have been cruising for 23 years. Been on different cruise lines, small and large ships. Been chased by a hurricane, been in great and poor weather.   I have never felt like I could make a long list and rate them from best to worse.

I have never zoomed but facetime has been working.

You can’t count on the internet to be good enough at specific times, like for meetings,  Satellite reception varies.

 

And if you need it on a sea day or when a port gets cancelled, there will be a lot of other people using it at the same time.

Just a suggestion - Zoom with audio only - cutting out video may help with bandwidth.

Even though I wasn't hungry,  I made it through Jamie's.   Thought I would let you know so there was no worries. 

So my second tough time happened this morning.   Usually I sleep later but I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.  A result was this.....

 

I made it back to the room.  If I can't take a nap I will try to recover by the pool later.

 

WoW! Great shot! To me, that cloud on the right looks like a ship!

[HicksRA]

Is everything still ok on Harmony?  Getting anxious about next week.

I didn't notice that until you pointed that out.  If you zoom in you will see that it was really storming.   It's nice to be able to sail around it.

Seems good to me

At top tier the Captain said we were skipping St Kitts due to fuel availability issues. Getting gas in St Maarten instead.

Really?  We thought the bartender in Vintages was very friendly when we were on in early December.   We sat outside and he came out several times to chat.  But we were also his only customers.😂

Nice...but our experience...not as nice.  Harmony on board now.   No warm fuzzies available.   Moved on to better bartenders...and we are good tippers...his loss. 😉

And the port side balcony and suite cabins on deck 8 are virtually empty. No pax in the two JS to our left or right, and no foot traffic in the halls anytime we go out.

 

The JS cabin next door we abandoned on Sunday is still empty...the other OS on our other side...still empty.  No one on either side.  We are OS in the middle.  🙂
