Cruising With JT Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi all, On Royal's website for their health protocols, I am not seeing anything about temperature checks at the terminal, onboard the ship, or when embarking/disembarking. Did they remove that requirement? https://www.royalcaribbean.com/the-healthy-sail-center/getting-ready-to-cruise?dPort=seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I had no temp checks when I sailed on Freedom. FWIW, at Adventure Ocean on Adventure when I dropped off kids they did a temp check. Cruising With JT and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffinjam22 Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I checked in for my October cruise this morning. Curious what the “wellness check” at the terminal entails. Of course what’s in place now could change in 3 months. The check in process didn’t even ask if vaccinated or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the wellness check is where we show them our vaccination cards and they make sure we are feeling okay? Not sure if this where they would do temp checks but that's what I'd assume a wellness check is. griffinjam22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step two in the CDC response plan is to make it look like the CDC is doing something. Step three in the CDC response plan is make sure no steps in the CDC response plan contribute in a meaningful way. I'd say temperature checks have earned a rightful place in the CDC action plan.

smokeybandit Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 I mean I get why they did that early on, but like surface spread it was quickly found to be unreliable at best WAAAYTOOO and fireclan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicDay Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 When I was diagnosed with COVID and during the whole time I had it I never ran a fever (they had my husband keep checking my temps). The other two in my office that got it also never ran a fever. My sister who got it did run a very low grade fever, I think it was a tad over, like 99?

Cruising With JT Posted July 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I think COVID impacts everyone differently. I honestly think I had it when no one even really knew about it back in early December 2019. I had a 102 fever, cough that basically killed my lungs (couldn't even sleep), had to go to the doctor for some lung/breathing tests, loss my sense of smell and taste for about a week, the cough lasted about 3 weeks. My wife and daughter never got sick. I don't know what it was, but if that was COVID, you do not want to experience what I did. I am fully vaccinated now.

MaryCS62 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I work in a hospital in a major city, and they eliminated temperature checks in all of our system facilities a couple of months ago. Masks still required, but temp checks are no more. That being said, we are still required to self monitor, and if you have a fever, you DO NOT report to work.
