Was just on Edge, and this is what I woke up to on disembarkation day.

I can see at least six cars lined up to transport COVID positives to finish quarantine.

We were on this Equinox cruise that ended Friday. We are both fully vaxed and boosted. On the flight home on Saturday I started feeling uncomfortable with chills and muscle aches. On Sunday I tested positive. My symptoms were mild and now Monday I feel almost back to normal. My wife has no symptoms. We are both in our 70's and considered high risk but healthy otherwise. We did not have any close contact on the ship which could be considered risky.

We have another Celebrity cruise booked for May and I have no fears about doing it again. Just happy to get back to cruising after 2+ years of cancelling and rescheduling and rescheduling.

You are probably THE best off at this point.  I am actually happy that I had Covid already, I am sure that reduces our chances of getting it again on board APEX this Summer.

This is how they transport Covid positive guests at disembarkation. Whether to their own private cars or hotels I’m not sure but there was a car line like this with people in blue suits for the Equinox.

I wonder how many people it takes to speak with Celebrity, that they are considering cancelling as they can’t face being stuck in an OV before they change their policy?  I’m thinking about it for our long awaited summer cruise. 

Same here - I am hoping for relaxed protocols for our Aug APEX trip but our payment is due soon so I am in a quandary.

Me too for 8/8 Beyond. CWC does go to September and includes airfare with $200p/ p penalty. I’m thinking  of paying 5/9 snd pull the plug 8/1 if things don’t improve,

Oh no. Ditto. Same thing happened to us except my wife tested positive and started on Plaxovid today. Another one of the five people we traveled with tested positive on Sunday. How many who came off the Equinox are now Positive!

I am curious... I understand that Plaxovid has some drug interactions with some classes of drugs..like statins and blood thinners... did this come up when the doctor prescribed it? I am wondering what they do if you are on these types of medications... do you stop them or what...

Our doctor who we have been going to for over 25 years knew medical history before prescribing.

Sorry, I misunderstood... I thought you got it on the ship...

Has anyone heard any updated numbers from the current Equinox cruise?

 

Does the ship charge if you call down to have a covid test done? Sometimes we are paranoid and fill ill and its always been negative. Never had covid yet...(where is that chunk of wood...)

 

Masks required?

 

Boarding sunday (can't wait) and bringing masks.

Why not buy a few test kits and take them with you?

Of course we do but luggage becomes large. 21 days of cruising = bags super full already 🙂

Captain announced this afternoon 4 passengers.  No word on crew numbers. Masks still required only in casino, theater, and Celebrity Central
