So you expected someone to come into your room when you were isolating with Covid? Really?

Like Gordon's. Miss Newcastle.

The Evening in Barbados at the Concorde exhibit was very interesting.

To be effective, Paxlovid has to be started within 4-5 days of first real symptoms, so patients may not be in serious condition by that time. The key thing is to be able to ensure there are no serious contra-indications (e.g, satisfactory kidney function, no forbidden heart meds, etc.). I was given the third degree before it was prescribed for me. The idea was to prevent serious issues. If you already had serious issues, it would be too late for Paxlovid to be effective.

My physician's office had to check my most recent kidney function test before they'd prescribe Paxlovid. Doubt if the ship's medical office would have access to that and would be unlikely to prescribe even if they had Paxlovid.

This "common cold" comparison is nonsense. There is no such syndrome called 'long cold' as there is 'long Covid.' A good friend has been incapacitated for more than a month after contracting Covid in early May, and that's after quadruple vaccinations and a five-day course of Paxlovid. Would have been disastrous if he had been on a Spain-intensive cruise or something similar. "No impact on travel?" Rot.

It isn't "normal" when passengers on two ships are isolating with Covid.

Would you really have passed up the Alhambra to go to White Night?

No formal night...no captain's night...no required jacket or tie

Really sorry to see this.

We have friends on the June 29 Pursuit sailing. Would appreciate someone on Pursuit posting the captain, hotel director and cruise director. Thanks.

Have always enjoyed the Nero D'Avola.

I guess I don't accept that concept when it can deceive and therefore unnecessarily hurt a business. If the headline had added "but I didn't find that" (or words to that effectl it would have told the story without having to watch a dull video. Better still, just make the headline "Is Azamara what it was pre-Covid?"
