Six Royal Caribbean Guests Test Positive During Routine Testing Six guests on Adventure of the Seas test positive for COVID during routine testing by Royal Caribbean.
During routine testing on Adventure of the Seas, six guests were found to be positive for COVID. Royal Caribbean’s health protocols were followed to make sure guests remain safe. The ship will continue to cruise, showing that cruise lines can deal with these situations and move forward on resuming operations.
Positive Cases on Adventure of the Seas With more cruise ships resuming cruises, there is no doubt we’ll see positive cases at times. The good news is that cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, have well-tested protocols in place to deal with outbreaks and keep guests protected.
In this case, six guests were tested positive for COVID during routine testing before the end of the voyage. Four of the guests are fully vaccinated, and three of them are asymptomatic, with one showing mild symptoms. Two of the guests are kids, and Royal Caribbean said they were traveling with the same party. The kids are unvaccinated and asymptomatic.
In a statement posted by Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Micahel Bayley, it said, “They all were immediately quarantined, and all close contacts were traced and all tested negative. All of the other 1,000 plus guests tested negative.”
During the ship’s port of call, today in Freeport, Bahamas, the positive guests and their traveling parties disembarked the vessel. They are traveling home via private transportation.
It’s not the first time Adventure of the Seas has dealt with positive COVID cases. In late June, two guests were tested positive during the normal testing procedure before the cruise. That situation was dealt with swiftly, and cruising continued.
This comes as the cruise line modifies its testing policy due to the spreading delta variant. The cruise line now requires all guests on five-night or longer sailings to show proof of a negative test result before the cruise departures through August 2021.
For cruises out of the Bahamas, which the ship is sailing from, all guests 16 years and older must be fully vaccinated, which will change to 12 years old from August 1, 2021. All crew members are already fully vaccinated, which is the same for any Royal Caribbean cruise ship sailing.
Adventure of the Seas became the first ship in the fleet to restart operations in North America out of Nassau, Bahamas. The current seven-night voyage started from the port on July 27. Cruising is to continue, and the protests worked well to keep everyone on board safe.
Something tells me will find out shortly when a Florida homeported ship has an outbreak. -Tom
4 out of 6 were “vaccinated” = 66.6%
It is sad that COVIDiots are just smart enough to type.
I suspect that it it wasn’t for the fake testing that we would never even know COVID was around.
So, four out of every six COVID-19 positive sick people on that ship were “fully vaccinated.”
A lot of good the vaccine mandate for ships has.
They should at least get upgraded cabins during quarantine.
There is a documentary, I think on Netflix, comprised entirely of passenger video footage on their experience around February of 2020 when covid was found on the ship, and how it was dealt with. It is only about 1 hour long but interesting. I think they ended up in Japan, the entire ship was quarantined and several taken to isolation ward at a hospital.
Traveling home via “private transportation” - what would that be, swimming to Miami and catching a cab?
Big deal.
Cruises - petri dishes at sea...
LOL. Could you imagine if these Cruise Ships were American flagged, and had to deal with our taxes, Unions, our CDC, and the American lawyers, and politicians. -Tom
The two unvaxed are kids.
The fake vax only makes things worse.
I’m so glad ships are handling the cases quickly and the entire cruse is not being interrupted.
This is encouraging.
I finally got a refund from norweigan after a year of it being dead even with a credit card dispute.
Not sure why it magically appeared and am not going to call to find out.
Happy sailing, entropy.....with the Super Spreader jabbed!
FRAUDci and Nanzi best pull the ship to shore, stat.
EVERYONE must mask up and lock down.
Same thing happens with flu, Norovirus, etc. It’s life, and cruise lines just deal with it.
Capt. Clearly they should be hung..../s
The reversible tinnitus and cochleopathy followed first-dose AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination
Supposedly recoverable in all cases so get your damn vaxx for the 99%+ survivable illness anyway, peasants!
BTW, I developed tinnitus after a concussion. On bad days I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
If any of these vaccines are causing hearing impairment...
