This concern is keeping me from booking a Caribbean cruise right now.  I'm not worried about getting so sick as to need hospitalization.  I am worried about a single positive test effectively ending my vacation. 

 

The second worse thing that can happen is to be quarantined onboard until the ship returns to the US. 

 

The worst thing that can happen is to be disembarked into a quarantine hotel in a foreign port. 

I agree! Does anyone have info on passengers that had to be quarantine in a Caribbean hotel?

Policy has been extended to sailings through April 30, 2022 providing you comply with Celebrity's covid policies.

Thank you for the clarification. I wonder how often the policy has to be enforced with all the safety measures in place.

First they are moved to a quarantine cabin, or the medical center if they are very very ill, and then they leave the ship at the next port

Thank you! That is what I have read but wondered if it still applied with the situations in some of the islands. If removed, does Celebrity really cover hotel and return home flights? 

We are excited to be sailing on a Caribbean sailing on the Silhouette in February. Wondering what the latest protocol is if after being on board someone (fully vaccinated) becomes ill and tests positive for Covid. Will they be quarantined or have to get off at the next island port or be moved to a quarantine cabin? Thanks for any info that would be helpful. Just a bit apprehensive about this upcoming cruise should we become ill.

Thank you all for the great info! We are booked in a 5c verandah and 4c verandah on deck 7 so I think I will be happy with that. All the info on the safety of the balcony was very reassuring. Thanks again!

Although we have cruised many times on Celebrity, RCL and Princess, we are looking to take our 4 year old grandson on a Disney cruise. Looking at the choices of verandah staterooms I am stumped. Typically we go with 8 or 9th floor but not sure if it is the same on Disney. We like midship and not sure the category number we should be looking at as they offer so many. Any help on cabin choice on the Disney Dream would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can you use OBC to buy an iPad or another apple product?

Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for! Have you visited the Westin Grand Cayman yet? I usually book my cruises and excursions well in advance and just decided to book a last minute trip for next month. I found that website too and was hoping to find out some more information. It looks perfect and for my family of 4 it's only like $57 each which is much less than a crowded beach excursion through the cruiseline and it looks so much more private and relaxing. I'm traveling in February, if you've already visited I would love to hear some feedback on the Westin and that Resort for a Day website if you used them. Thanks!

You can book directly by emailing the Westin for much less. I contacted the hotel for Feb. 16th and was told there are no rooms for day passes available but they would still allow us to use the resort. The cost is $ 146.37 USD with taxes.

Since we would not use the room we are going to go with this rate that is much less then the resort for the day website.

We have made 10:00am flights! You will just have to walk off the ship and grab a taxi.

Does anyone know how to contact the hotel for a day pass. Info on CC has referred to day passes. I have emailed the hotel several times and had no response. We will be there in June 2015. Thanks!

Thanks! I have contacted Albergo Cesari and I am overwhelmed by the quick and detailed response. Since both hotels seem very nice with a good location, I am going to go with the less expensive hotel. Time in the room will be minimal.

Thanks for your comments! The location does seem great for both and I agree we can't go wrong. For the price difference I think we will go with the Albergo Cesari based on great reviews.

We will be staying in Rome for two nights after our cruise in June. I have read many hotel reviews but wonder if anyone could compare and advise us on choosing Hotel Albergo Cesari or Hotel Campo de Fiori. Thanks!

Pat,

We are heading to St Maarten in Feb. and planning on a day trip to the Westin. I emailed them in August regarding our Feb visit and here is the info I got back. You should be all set and I would go to the Westin vs Sonesta.
