Here we go again :( 48 Covid cases on Royal Caribbean returning to Miami

Omicron is a bit different, the first doctor in South Africa said that one of the differences is that smell and taste remain like normal.

We heard the same thing for Delta, too. But we'll see. Let's hope that it's mild, anyway!

Those with no symptoms, unfortunately, are just as contagious to others.

Maybe not

It is milder, but more contagious, you do need your booster. AZ apparently hardly protects against it (So I have read). The European hospitals are full and we are back in lockdown.

If you are forced to quarantine in your room on DCL, do you get any money back from the cruise?

I doubt that it's a huge comfort.

It is to me actually. It’s a lot of money for a disney cruise!

my friend and I were just talking about how now everytime we sneeze or cough we feel like we need to say "NOT COVID!!!" lol.

I have to say that, plus more with a autoimmune disease called Lupus. Allergies, Lupus or Covid, luckily since being diagnosed in 2018 with Lupus no issues

Well, not just the cruise industry being highlighted in the media. The impact on the NFL, NBA, College Sports, Broadway Shows and the Rockettes canceling their entire Christmas season have all been highlighted in the media in recent days.

Yup Brooklyn Nets had two games cancelled.

being able to maybe order all the Mickey Bars, chicken wings and cheese plates might be a comfort. I wonder if they allow you to order what you want.

Given that all deliveries involve hazmat suits, I dunno.

Yup, so many college basketball games cancelled lately due to covid. I was *this close* to booking a hotel and buying tickets for the TN/Memphis game. So glad I didn't.

The last 3 pages have barely even nodded at cruising and become general covid chatter; I'm going to close the thread.
