Jingerwoppy Posted April 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2022 When we were on LOTS a couple of weeks ago we saw them doing a deep cleaning of the cabin across the hall from us so we're assuming that they cruisers were quarantined because of Covid. Today I saw where Princess had 143 cases on 1 15 day cruise. Is anyone seeing any counts that show how well RC is doing? We're going again in a couple of weeks and don't plan on canceling ourselves.

AF-1 Posted April 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think there are cases on every cruise line and some ships have more than others. On the Princess board they are currently talking about two ships sailing which have cases and one cruise was cut short because of the amount of people on board who were positive. I think if you keep practicing your safety measures you should be fine. My last cruise was five days and everyone onboard made sure to wear makes when they were indoors and outdoors they took them off. At dinner people would remove masks once at their table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted April 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The most important count is... zero. Zero severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leerobbs Posted April 28, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I recently tested positive while on RCCL cruise, I asked the doctor if they had very many other positive cases on our cruise. The doctor did not give me any numbers but said they always have positive cases on every cruise either guests or crew or both. She said their goal is zero positive but they have not reached it yet.

Cruise a holic Posted April 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Based on my friends, relatives and neighbors, covid definately on the rise. Fortunately, those that I know who did get covid, were all fully immunized so the actual illness was like a cold. So no hospitalizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While true--being quarantined on a ship because you contract COVID or are a close contact with someone, whether or not you're symptomatic, is not my idea of fun.

Joseph2017China Posted April 28, 2022 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Most people don't care about "counts" in the past since they are cruising in the "future". I don't even care if I'm next to someone with it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted April 28, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think it was in February when the Captains stopped reporting how many covid cases onboard. I was happy not to hear the numbers on my last 2 sailings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do these people know they have covid? They test negative to get on the ship. Yes, rapid and PCR tests don't go all the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Lover Posted April 28, 2022 #16 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Even though everyone has to submit a negative test to get onboard, is RCI doing daily tests of everyone for Covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it seems some run to go and get tested. Probably the same that do the same on land. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandycruzr Posted April 28, 2022 #20 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Lots of people currently in quarantine on the vision of the sea. They will not give an exact count but everyday crew members are missing and I’ve personally seen 12 people removed from their cabins on my floor. 5 days ago we were told by RCL that they had 72 people in quarantine but now they will not tell us. They are making quite a few announcements looking for passengers that have tested positive to contact medical immediately. Lots of different names. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is no testing, unless you are one of those that like to get tested every other day, or is it every 3 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted April 28, 2022 #22 Share Posted April 28, 2022 B2b we were tested on Jewel this am. Negative. Told no positives. Also the entire crew tested negative the previous day. Now this doesn't mean there aren't any other cases. Seeing more officers in public than we saw in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s like saying if we don’t do mammograms, we wont see so much breast cancer? I recall someone else using the mentality that “we need to stop testing” . I appreciate when someone I’m around tests for cold symptoms. If they’re positive, I know to avoid them or if I’ve been around them, to test a few days later if symptomatic. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida32 Posted April 28, 2022 #24 Share Posted April 28, 2022 They test you even if you show up to medical with sicknesses besides Covid. Possible food poisoning even gets a Covid test. Even if the person shows no signs of Covid. Then if someone tests positives all close contacts get tested. My friend was a close contact to a crew member and had to get tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there isn’t a vaccine for breast cancer and untreated it has a much worse outcome than Omicron. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
