Review summary

Don't catch covid... we had our 72 hour pre-cruise PCR negative test, both vaccinations and both boosters, and wore masks. Cunard doesn't mess around... if they test you positive, you get thrown into the covid isolation wing of the ship.

There were 3 cruise boat embarkation going thru the same shore terminal in Vancouver, BC. Suspect this is where the crowds spread the covid virus

So sorry to know your cruise was spent in a cabin. We tested positive two days from the end of our cruise and were stranded in Spain because we couldn't fly to the US. BTW there is no evidence that a positive test means your contagious, but everybody still acts like it does. Two of our three had no symptoms. Still waiting for trip insurance to pay us.

Thanks for the review. Covid is rampant everywhere currently, including cruise ships.
