Woodmnky Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 My MIL had some questions about what happens is you test positive for covid once on-board. She was wondering if you only have access to the standard room service menu or if you are able to order items from the dining room as well? She has some dietary restrictions and for some reason this is really bothering her. We are cruising on Harmony in 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I Have not been quarantined. I'm thinking they will honor her dietary restrictions, it's always something they ask about. It would certainly be bad press if they did not. I've seen the "quarantine meals" leave the dining room down the corridor so they do get food off the dinner menu!

DJsMrs Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Pretty sure if you're sick with covid they aren't going to send you food that will make you feel worse. They will honour dietary requirements/restrictions. RCIfan1912 and SpeedNoodles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mother won’t like this answer but I have been quarantined with my family and the food is less then decent….. Unless things have significantly changed over the last 3 1/2 months then it’s not a great situation to be in. I’m confident that in the unlikely event she is quarantined then RC will accommodate her diet restrictions especially if they are a health matter. There is absolutely nothing standard about the quarantine room service menu, it’s very basic and dropped off outside your door (usually cold) in styrofoam containers much like a prison.

smokeybandit Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 You'll get full room service, internet and ship to shore calls if quarantined. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we got was not the full room service menu by any means on Oasis New Years cruise. Hopefully things have changed. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathbees Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 We sailed in March and my niece got quarantined. It wasn't Covid, but she was running a fever so they ran her through the protocols. We had a great head waiter in the MDR and when he found out she was quarantined he ordered up a Sorrento's pizza while we were eating to take back to the room. I would imagine that you could order a "to-go" plate from the MDR while you're eating and just bring it back to her. I know people have ordered desserts to go, in the past.

Brett B Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I made the mistake once when I had an upset stomach of asking for Pepto-Bismol which got me an immediate 24 hour quarantine. This was pre-Covid. FaceTime Samee the other replies the experience may be different but mine was actually quite pleasant. I was able to get the main dining room food delivered, the unlocked all the pay per view movies at no charge, and I even got reimbursed for one day (although this may have been through travel insurance- I don’t recall). It was fine, but then it was only one day. Let’s just say now I always travel with my own Pepto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this is possible if you are on the Covid isolation floor. You can’t leave the room and nobody else can visit the floor. Dropping off a pizza wouldn’t be something you could do.

tonyfsu21 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Clearly I’m mixing things up. I guess close contact you quarantine in your assigned stateroom? My kids tested positive so we were moved to the Covid floor which is a whole different ballgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they treat positive covid and close contact differently from other quarantines. They quarantined my niece for about 24 hours in her stateroom and performed multiple covid checks. Since she came up negative for each check, she was allowed back out. Yes, if there is a reason to move someone to the actual covid isolation area, things would be different. tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
