Mimiya11 Posted August 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Apologize in advance if this has been discussed over and over but new to the RCI forum. If someone tests positive while on a RCI cruise, are they reassigned to quarantine in another cabin while positive? And if so, similar level cabin or inside cabin? Thank you.

firefly333 Posted August 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2022 There is no it always will be this rule. ..you will often be reassigned unless near the end of your cruise. It might be a inside but could be something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not set policy here. You would likely be moved to the quarantine area. I've seen OV and inside cabins, based on pics and people I've known that got moved to quarantine. Someone from RC Blog (unaffiliated with RCI) posted that on their Alaska cruise, they were quarantined to their own stateroom, but it was toward the end of cruise.

neverbeenhere Posted August 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Here is what goes on… you bring your own test kits… you test positive… you mostly quarantine in your stateroom and wear your KN95… your travel partner wears a KN95 and brings you food… your travel partner hopes for the best. sorry, this is frequently the real story.

And you get out of your room once a day so the steward doesn't get suspicious 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted August 19, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I can't imagine red zone quarantines last much longer, if they're even doing them anymore. That's a bunch of rooms they can't open up for booking otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donsyb Posted August 19, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 19, 2022 A friend recently cruised on Mariner and his daughter tested positive about halfway through. His wife moved with the daughter to a quarantine cabin while he stayed in the booked cabin with their other daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought for sure we'd get a knock on the door or a call from medical asking what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimiya11 Posted August 19, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Seems to me that the ideal situation would be to test on your own and self quarantine. Kind of challenging when you also want your family members (including 3 young children) to stay negative. Thanks for your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
