Yes I just didn’t feel that my friend who has never ever cruised before would be able to handle the tension. She wants a long cruise to be able to relax, but of course those in themselves might pose more problems.
I read elsewhere that you don’t have to quarantine if you were exposed on a port adventure because of the mask rules on the port adventures.
That isn't necessarily true. People wondering about what DCL quarantine is like are looking for a specific description of experiences, how they are treated & fed, what kind of cabin they are placed in, how well-informed they kept, how well-cared for they are, etc. That's a customer service issue, and will therefore differ by cruise line. We already know that quarantine means having to stay in your cabin, etc.
I don't know the policy, but masking wouldn't be the reason for it, as kids in the clubs are also required to wear masks, but their close contacts still have to quarantine.
Yes and no. Most of this is governed by the CDC rules. Like I noted, there will be differences, but you can still have a very good idea of your overall day-to-day experience by following those in quarantine on other cruise ships.
How forthcoming the ship is with information about your quarantine is not governed by CDC rules. The quality of food, your level of choices for food, and how promptly you receive your food is not governed by CDC rules. The type of cabin you are quarantined in is not governed by CDC rules. Etc, etc. This stuff is customer service, and it is going to vary by cruise line.
None of that is unknown, and if you actually read the experiences of those currently quarantined, pretty standard across all cruise lines - that is, a mirror of how their non-quarantined vacation would have been.
How many reports have you read from quarantined DCL cruisers? DCL has always differed in notable ways from the other mass market cruise lines.
None, but we have sailed and spoken to folks on board in the middle of the Omicron surge. The things you are concerned about - which deck, quality of food, customer service, etc. - are known. So, you are correct in noting that DCL will have differences; still those differences are about the same as you would expect without the quarantines.
We'll have to agree to disagree, as we're not on the same wavelength on this issue. No, the quality of food, exact stateroom type, & customer service while in quarantine on DCL is not widely known. Imo more potential cruisers are more concerned about those issues than about medical care while they're in an asymptomatic quarantine. You think differently, and that's your right. I disagree, and we're clearly never going to agree, so we might as well quit arguing here.
