Review summary

My wife was infected on the cruise. She did not show any symptoms until the last day. She gave it to me three days later. We have every Covid shot (5 including the latest) plus a flu shot. We are not very I’ll but would have appreciated a warning that the crew or previous passengers were infected. Now I have had to cancel 2 upcoming cruises

Embarkation

No special line for elite, while those with medallion at any level zip through. I will never pay to get the medallion in the mail.

It’s so frustrating getting Covid for leaving the house. I am still going to cruise. I got it last 2 cruises. I swear I got it flying where sick don’t isolate, just fly home with us all. We are cruising on HAL in a couple of weeks, but not flying. Appreciate your review.

I met several crew members who were sick. That is the fault of the ships administration. After 75 cruises I still have a few places in the world I would like to see but I will wait until the cruise lines make it safe again.

I will cruise again when the ships return to testing the crew and insist that the passengers have had their shots

You can catch the flu wherever you go. Not the ships fault. It's yours for leaving your house.

You do realize that all of your COVID shots don't prevent you from getting it. It just lessens the symptoms so you don't end up in the hospital or worse.

I got covid on my September cruise. It happens and will continue to happen. I brought cough medicine, throat lozenges, Allegra d. The good thing is my immunity is strong for my next cruise in 2 weeks. If you're afraid to get covid, stay home.

Sorry you’re disappointed but it’s not the cruise lines responsibility to inform you that previous passengers were sick. You could have caught covid from the gas station, grocery store, or motel if you stayed in one.

You should have been wearing masks and face shields as additional protection. 🤣🤦
