    starbrat reacted to smokeybandit in Medical emergency on HOTS   
    That call doesn't necessarily mean a life threatening incident. Just a call for medical help.

    We had one once that was just the result of a drunk woman falling and hitting her head. She ended up fine.

    They just called Alpha deck 4 port side zone 4. Praying whatever happened the person is ok. If anyone finds out update. I’ll try and ask our concierge. We are just outside of St. Thomas.

    Do you test yourself before you fly or before you go the Disney World or before you walk into a concert or your stay t your hotel. No! Wouldn't you want to know if you were contagious? The reality is No no one tests these days for it. Only cruising is being harassed and its absurd! We should not have to test to get on a boat!  if you don't have to test to get in a tiny airplane and sit like sardines for a few hours with recirculated air. We should not have to test to go on a cruise.

    It is soo stressful. In April I went on my first star class cruise and I paid for our entire party of 10 people. We all had to test negative on that Friday. I was leading a national training and to this day I remember when I got one of the text messages of results. Of course they didn't say negative or positive in the text 🙄 they just sent me a picture of the test. I remember stopping the training to check my phone for an "emergency".  That was the absolute most stressful day of my life! Granted this is a shorter 4 day cruise with just my husband and daughter but its still dang stressful!!  I'm eating multivitamins like they are tic tacs!

    these ports sure are not shutting the door on planes full of unvaccinated people flying to visit them. I think they will be fine. As long as the cruise ships just drop things slowly (1 mandate here then then next week another mandate dropped there. Just do it little by little.) won’t be a cause for panic.

    I would feel the same way I feel when I don’t test myself before going to a concert, sporting event, school play, the mall, going out to eat, flying to a destination vacation.
    I feel healthy and fine to go on vacation no need to test.
     Royal Caribbean’s average client is aged 40. Outside of 65 and older, age 40 is the highest risk of dying at a 0.04% chance.  That is not even 1 percent! 🤣 Your chance of getting struck by lightening ⚡️is the same at 0.04% So in the highest risk group on average with traveling with Royal your chance of dying is the same as getting struck by lightening. (If we take out all the people who are hospitalized and fighting life threatening illnesses (I’m pretty sure they are not cruising ) those numbers go down even more. Not sure how much lower you can go when you are basically at 0% 
    So yaaaa I would not feel bad if I caught covid and gave it to someone. They will  fare just fine 👍. 
     
    Going to the pharmacy knowing I was going to be around elderly or immune compromised people who are sick that is where I would test first. Does anyone do that??? Nope.  What about before visiting the elderly in nursing Homes or visiting the sick in a hospital?  Do we test before that or make people test before that? Nope. Maybe we should have thought that one out a little better. The places where people were catching covid and dying is where we should have started with the forced tests.  
    Bullying the cruising industry has been the biggest hypocrisy through this entire time covid has been around. I for one am glad to see the abrupt end to the CDC’s reign of terror on an industry that did not deserve to be bullied. the biggest waste of time and money that could have been spent on finding cures to those disease that put older people at risk or went to finding a cure for covid or went to protecting the long term facilities etc etc. But no we wasted it on testing healthy people who were not at risk and going away from the people that were at risk. 🤣 Good riddance!

    starbrat reacted to BrianB in Coco Cay Day Bed   
    I have had day beds where the bed was assigned prior to arriving at the island. I couldn’t pick one. I also had them where it was first come, first serve. But I learned that for me, the second row was better. There is a bit more privacy as there’s nobody walking past the front of the bed. The front row is closer to the shoreline. I saw many instances where the person on the day bed had to tell people that the two chairs in front are not available…that they are part of the day bed package. I had beds on Breezy Bay and also on South Beach. South Beach was much more private as it’s the furthest beach area. Either way, there were bars, restrooms and snack shacks near all the beds.

    starbrat reacted to Bowen in opt for less stateroom cleaning for more points?   
    Disney has been doing this for awhile, the theme park, not the cruise line (or maybe they are, but I haven't been on one since 2014). Traveling during COVID saw a lot of "We don't clean your room for a week because of COVID" and I did wonder if this was just going to be where they were trying to head since I'm sure it saved them a lot of money. 
    I will never opt out of having my room cleaned every day, lol. Now when we book trips I actually call the hotel and verify that they do regular, daily room service. 🙂
