troubleclef Posted April 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Disembarked in Lisbon on April 3 and on that day both myself and partner tested positive. We have been in quarantine and are recovering. It was a lovely cruise and the staff on board are warm, welcoming and accommodating. Even though we took all precautionary measures and avoided crowds, the inevitable still happened. Wishing all those fellow passengers who continued on to Barcelona safe travels home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that; my DH and I got it last fall on our TA. He had a reaction to Plaxlovid and I was just fine without it, having no symptoms at all. We were so careful, but then let our guard down...it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggo11 Posted April 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Oh, my. . . We disembark tomorrow and I haven’t heard a word about any cases (nor have I seen any “quarantine” cabins. All best wishes for a full and speedy recovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "inevitable" still happened why bother taking precautions.? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjsportsmom Posted April 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Troublechef, Some questions…… did you test yourself for Covid? Is Oceania still quarantining people with Covid? did you have travel insurance and did they cover your hotel and expenses when you left the cruise and quarantined?

troubleclef Posted April 11, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Yes, tested ourselves . When we disembarked in Lisbon, we both felt "feverish". By the time we got to the hotel we were burning up. We tested positive. We tested yesterday (April 10) and are still positive and recovering. No fever or sore throats. We had already planned on staying in Portugal for a couple of weeks so our hotel was already booked and paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouChamp Posted April 11, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Aloha. Cruise lines like to look the other way now. They really don’t care as long as they are fully booked. They need the money cause they are in hock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same reason you wear a seatbelt, that's why. That's what intelligent, informed people do. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not inevitable that you will get into a car accident (or catch covid). Seat belts are worn for safety in the event there is a situation where they may eliminate or reduce injury.

I suggest you re-read post #1... apparently it is inevitable, and taking precautions to avoid contracting covid is pretty much not time well spent according to the OP.

I would agree with you, but then we would both be wrong. Have a great day. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did give me credit for the 3 days I was confined to the cabin...I would hope that Oceania did it also. Paxlovid is the cure but you can't get a prescription from a doctor unless you are seen...beware of the cost on the cruise ships for Paxlovid but if you have insurance, you can make a claim.

Feel better soon Thank you. Yes, we did get room service while in quarantine but not much of an appetite.Our consolation is that at least we indulged in some really good meals (desserts too). Thankful for the memories. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
