Just came back on the ship to be told to report to our room and contact the medical centre. We are now awaiting testing.

🤞 You are OK but it's good to hear that the contact tracing works.

[BouncingWheel]

Funny enough only use the site at home on my laptop as can never remember the password to get access on my phone. Reset the password so now have access and at least know what is going on. Hope you don’t feel too bad @rakkor

Contact tracking is obviously excellent for them to track us down using just our Christian names and cruise critic username 😂

[rakkor]

i feel fine  - slightly chesty and a sniffle - like low level cold so far - Jane was negative but that might not last cooped up with me

 

Sorry for giving you up, but we cracked under interrogation! It was the right thing to do

Did you order drinks at the same time/location ?

No, but maybe Jane knows more about us than we thought 😉

 

Pam and I just had our LFT test done. We know there are a few in quarantine recently as the male singer disappeared after about day 2 and the quiz DJ is apparently in quarantine. Que sera sera. As long as vaccines and boosters do their job and we don’t get seriously ill then I will accept whatever the results as we knew the situation / rules before we boarded and decided it was worth the risk.

I am not sure your quiz knowledge was worth the close contact risk - it’s not like we ever won🤣

 

however @Camgirland us won last night🏆 OK they won but we basked in their glory.

 

Don’t feel bad. We have enjoyed the cruise so far and getting to know you - for us meeting people is a big plus of cruising.

[BouncingWheel]

Pam and I both tested negative and we are free to continue as per normal.

[rakkor]

Excellent news, lets hope Andy and Sarah are the same

Us too - phew! That was a horrid half hour wait! 

 

Rakkor, I hope you soon feel better and that Jane manages to avoid it. So sorry your holiday has ended up in quarantine. Pretty impressed with the ship finding us all though.

Sorry, simultaneous posting! We are both negative too. 

 

Take care, we are thinking of you. And watching for any symptoms in us.

[Host Hattie]

Great news @BouncingWheel & @Camgirl

Hope you all stay well and your trivia score doesn't suffer too much !

It's not much consolation but there will be FCC for the days in isolation.

 

Jane spoke with the concierge desk and apparently no FCC to compensate spending half the cruise in a downgraded room

Shocking!

[rakkor]

Saying that I've just been refunded the $240 for the Tromso Northern Lights excursion which was probably the super-spreader event that was ground zero

[exlondoner]

If you’re required to isolate/quarantine during your time on board, you’ll be given a non-refundable Future Cruise Credit (FCC) pro-rated for the duration of your isolation/quarantine period. This FCC (which for UK guests is not ABTA or ATOL protected) can be used on any new booking made and is valid for two years from the date of issue. 

 

From the website.

Hopefully Cynthia on the Concierge  desk has it wrong because Jane is spitting feathers at the moment.

I can see that @exlondoner has already copied the relevant part of the website but I hope you get a resolution soon

See???? She found someone to yell at. Needs must as they say.

[rakkor]

She's been venting her spleen on the Facebook site, luckily I don't use Facebook

[Host Hattie]

Maybe the confusion is because the FCC is for the isolation rather than the downgrade.

[rakkor]

Jane's just had a nice chat with Mark @BouncingWheel and apparently they were together with @Camgirl coming back on board when the Klaxons went off and they were pulled over for testing. It's nice to know that the source was outside our bubble.

Am I missing something?  It seems to me that the downgrade is effectively covered because the credit would be based on pro-rata of the fare paid which I would presume would be higher than if based on a Britannia fare.

No, the result is the same, I just thought the concierge might be telling Jane that there's no compensation for the downgrade.
