Exactly I am from Quebec also
Got to say the anticipation of the cruise usually I love ( all the preparation and all

But with this thing still lurking around it’s making me so nervous even if I try not to be

I'm in the same boat. We are travelling in a few days and I'm terrified that one of us may test positive and that we might not be able to board the plane/the ship.

Yes that I know
This will be cruise # 23 but with covid I am more worried

Well, we're quite trained to wash our hands everywhere now, so there's that. Lol

All Disney ships but the Dream currently have covid cases on board. https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/cruise/cruise-ship-color-status.html

No one said they didn't. I'm said it's unlikely to be common for passengers to have to go into quarantine. With cases as low as they are now, it's an unlikely thing for a prospective cruiser to have to worry about.

I can't speak to the worry part, but if three of the four ships have covid cases, those passengers are in quaranatine, and I can't speak to the likelyhood but it is happening right now on three of the ships.

We are cruising 21 April, still no luggage tag welcome mail...should we be worried? Phone hold is ridiculous, emailed them yesterday....not hopeful....comments or suggestions anyone?
Thanks in advance...

The porters can tag your luggage at the port. No need to worry

That includes crew who live in close quarters...and I know they get tested often (daily?), so more likely to be crew cases and the occasional symptomatic passenger or an under 5 yr old tested on the last day.

Could be. The CDC tracking is so vague there is no way to know. No numbers. No breakdown, but crew are around passengers so transmission from a crew member to a passenger can't be eliminated.

It isn't necessarily passengers. Crew are more likely to contract it due to their close quarters & daily exposure to new strangers onboard, and to reveal an asymptomatic positive due to their frequent, routine tests (a guest would only be tested onboard after showing symptoms or being a close contact). And even if it were passengers, a handful of cases out of a few thousand is a very small percentage, meaning, as I'd said, that it's something the vast majority of passengers just won't have to worry about or deal with.
