Cafe al Bacio is quite good and acceptable, everything else - dire!

Had an aft cabin once on Solstice, the views were great but the balcony was unusable a lot of the time due to soot. Put us off booking aft again.

That is correct, S class too modern to have staterooms ripped out, it was limited to soft furnishings.

All academic as there will be no cruises starting in a country with internal travel restrictions, residents told that it is illegal to travel abroad for holidays and other leisure purposes and advice against cruise travel.

Celebrity will start sailing with only 50-60% capacity

I think they tested positive prior to debarkation. They may well have been infected before the cruise which is an indication that testing alone is not reliable. It will never be known how many other guests tested clear for debarkation but went on to become infected from that cruise so I agree, not safe to consider cruising for some time to come until all vaccinated. -

The numbers are low I admit however the outbreak was discovered on board when passengers were being tested at the end of the cruise prior to a flight home. That resulted in four passengers who tested positive along with nine other passengers and 11 crew being taken ashore for quarantine in a hotel on the Canary Islands. No protocols will ever be 100% successful.
