CHRIS WONG Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I am happy to announce that I will be joining the brand new Odyssey Of The Seas this week. I look forward for the opportunity to go back to work, and once again help create vacation memories for Royal Caribbean passengers (you guys)! Watch out for my upcoming videos on YouTube.

mathbees Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 We have loved your videos and they definitely helped sustain us during the pandemic! We will be on board in October and I'm very much looking forward to seeing your videos of the ship before we arrive. Can we put in a special request for a video of the Grand Suite? I'll be sure to pop down to the casino (probably nightly) to say hi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRIS WONG Posted June 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Here is my Day 1 of cruise ship quarantine vlogs. I'll be posting more vlogs once I arrive back in Fort Lauderdale, so I can use my phone data to upload. The internet onboard is not strong enough for me to upload on YouTube.

smokeybandit Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 I had assumed all crew was already vaccinated. That explains more of why they delayed after the positives.

CrimsonCruiser Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Finished day 2 vlog less than half an hour after it was posted! I posted the same question on the video but in case it gets buried: with the 8 cases that cropped up onboard and the new suggested quarantine are those 14 days on top of your current 14 days (for a total of 28 days) or 14 days added to the 6 or so you've already completed?

cruisellama Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Vaccinations must have been slowed or delayed from our perspective. I thought some received vaccines when in Israel, but that might not be the case. May have had to wait to reach US to start the process.

I thought some received vaccines when in Israel, but that might not be the case. May have had to wait to reach US to start the process. They weren't vaccinated in Israel. It became controversial there and the government wouldn't give it to foreign crewmembers. It was most likely the real reason the cruises were canceled rather than the stated reason. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCruiser Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Nothing better than that sunset on embarkation day when you are easing out to sea. That last bit of the video made me jealous. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
