smokeybandit Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Since they haven't even done their test cruises yet, they almost had to delay that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yep. We just lost B2B 7-17 and 7-25. At first glance it seems that their options to move this cruise are very generous. It seems to me (without indepth evaluation) that you can shift any 2021 or 2022 sailing. I assume it would have to be on OY. This is particularly awesome for us as these are both upgraded casino comps which ordinarily cannot be moved at all. I'm secretly a bit relieved as I was dreading what the boarding and onboard protocols would be for us (unvaxxed). This will give us a little more time to see how things go. I AM beginning to think that OY is cursed, however... Ogilthorpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I see it now. I had missed that paragraph in my first reading. Willful ignorance, I guess. Oh well....money back in my pocket ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 She just needs that champagne smashed across her bow and exorcise these demons! Seriously will she ever sail? My October out of Rome was cancelled months ago. I moved us to October 2022 Holy Land. This ship needs some divine intervention! cruisellama, monctonguy and WAAAYTOOO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNCFanatik Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 They were never going to sail on July 3rd to begin with. let’s be honest. Now we know why there was never a confirmed test sailing announced of the odyssey from royal cruisellama, WAAAYTOOO and MamaShark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 All these "first" ones are touch and go. All are lines extremely risk adverse and not wanting a bad PR event. Qs and Os are too big to allow failure - playing it safe. Also confused - aren't the crew supposed to be vaccinated? Appears not.

Ampurp85 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I just want to point out this seems like a delayed reaction. The article says they tested positive before their 2 week period of being fully dosed. It is possible they weren't following protocols or were already asymptomatic carriers. Another poster pointed out they received first dose on June 4th so they were just shy of receiving second dose when they tested positive.

I think you are spot on with them being careful in this situation. I heard that they all just received their second shot, or was about to receive it, but was not fully covered yet. It seems an exposure before fully vacccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but still within their 14 day window of full effect. I am in the camp that these could be false positives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
