I find it amusing that the outdoor TV is on

I'm just saying if you have concerns about security in any public wifi, then take precautions (like a VPN)

It's as secure as any other public wifi.

I would never trust using cellular data at sea (meaning 12+ miles from land). And there's really no need to do it. Slow and expensive.

The color coding was a good thought very early on, but truly is meaningless now. OK so there were covid cases found on the last cruise, so what? That doesn't at all affect the next cruise.

The last cruise I booked and transferred took like 2 days to fully transfer via filling out that transfer form.

I echo making sure your wifi calling is enabled prior to getting on the ship.

I mean 27 days seems reasonable. But 28? That's nuts.

Fortunately all the data so far shows Omicron as quite mild, and maybe not even a new variant.

"All crew members and passengers are fully vaccinated and all of the 10 cases first reported were asymptomatic, the cruise line said in a statement Sunday." If there truly were no symptomatic people in the initial 10, then the only way they could have started testing is if one of the crew popped hot during routine testing.

Don't fret too much about that part of the app. They'll check your info at the port anyway.

Cruise ships aren't affected.

I would hope these 10 positives were confirmed with PCR tests on board before news got out.

That's some crazy panic response by RCL if true.

The article said no one was symptomatic.

NCL doesn't test standard passengers to disembark. So it'd have to be crew or B2B people.

"“All of the identified cases onboard are asymptomatic,”" OK I'm confused. What prompted the testing in the first place then? This seems like one hell of a not-news story. But then there's this junk The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the chance of getting COVID-19 on a cruise ship is high. The virus can spread easily in close quarters on a ship, the CDC said. But...it hasn't

That outfit sure looks fine to me for formal night.

This is all true, but someone who one has had "nothing but issues with" who yet not long ago was a close enough friend to invite on a cruise, tells me this may not have happened as written.

I've seen it before on other ships, but the price was never that great to make it worth lugging home

Well it appears this was yet another drive by with someone clearly not looking for help.

It wouldn't affect cruise passengers leaving from a US port.

I was skeptical from the start since the whole thing is a rant against a neighbor. Then I was totally lost when there was some expectation that the police should help get her booking back.

A lot to digest here. I'll wait to see if this poster ever returns to the site to determine how I'd respond.
