NC State Posted June 7, 2021 Report Posted June 7, 2021 I watch your video for the first time today! I can't wait to see more! Quote
mathbees Posted June 7, 2021 Report 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

Floski Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 I saw that earlier - very happy for you!!!! I've loved your blogs from your previous two ships, now I can't wait for the AMPED version!! Quote
Scott M Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 We are on July 3, I will have to swing by the casino and say hi, assume that's where you will still be? Quote
Cruising With JT Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 Such exciting news, Chris!! Congratulations on joining the newest ship in the fleet, well-deserved! It must feel so good to get back on after such a long time. I am on Odyssey in November (the original inaugural) so look forward to meeting you then! Cheers! Quote

krhardy Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 So excited for you Chris! I can't wait to get onboard and see her. I might even brave the casino to come say hi Quote
KenCP Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 Congratulations @CHRIS WONG Can't wait to see the new ship in your Vlogs. Safe travels from the UK to the USA. Quote

CHRIS WONG Posted June 16, 2021 Author Report 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.

alamode123 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 Glad to see you are doing well. With the reports of positive crew members I feared the worst for you. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
GatorCruiser Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 Chris, first off, amazing video. Thanks for posting. Second , please convey to fellow crew members how much we miss them and how much they/you enrich our cruise experience. Be well. PPPJJ-GCVAB and Baked Alaska 2 Quote
ConstantCruiser Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 Please know and let your shipmates know the latest news hasn't deterred many of us. Still super excited about trying this new ship when the time works itself out. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote

smokeybandit Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 I had assumed all crew was already vaccinated. That explains more of why they delayed after the positives. Unless this is old video just now being posted cruisellama 1 Quote

CrimsonCruiser Posted June 17, 2021 Report 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 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. Quote

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
GatorCruiser Posted June 17, 2021 Report 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
