Teacher42 Posted January 11, 2019 #327 Share Posted January 11, 2019 We had an owners suite on the Allure. It had tons of drawer and cabinet space. Just the kind of cabin you would want on an around the world cruise. Even 'Lady Aster' could not use all the space with her 7 suitcases full of cloths and 'stuff'.

As of yesterday, our steward ( deck 9 port aft) had one affected cabin, the one across the hall from us. It was a family with small children and they have been released from quarantine now. One would suspect the small children and those traveling with small children are apt to be disproportionately impacted, as most tiny tot’s hygiene tends to differ from optimal adult’s. This is a KSF sailing with plenty of small cuties aboard. Look for stickers or tape on the door frame above the door. That is how they were marking quarantined cabins on one of our sailings. We were surrounded by sick cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 11, 2019 #331 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Currently on Rhapsody, where many crew members and some pax have the flu. I caught it on the 2nd day, and Bucky caught it 2 days ago. We are both sick as dogs, and yes...both have had the flu shot and are careful with washing hands etc. They say the flu shot is not 100%...guess they were right. Has pretty much ruined most of our cruise...now...where is MY refund??!! 😞 Yeah like that is going to happen. SOL. Could not even get a refund on my shore excursion, and have paid high dollar for over the counter meds on board.

DW would freak out if she didn't have any place to store all her stuff. That was Laura last Sunday. Inside cabin 6681. This was a cabin added at last drydock. Used to be a crew area. Way smaller than a typical inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is yellow tape above that impacted cabin door, though no longer quarantined. Also above door of two other cabin I pass on hallway(different steward).

ONECRUISER Posted January 11, 2019 #337 Share Posted January 11, 2019 2 hours ago, Teacher42 said: To all, We have been told that many cruisers may use the drawers in the cabins to store their soiled clothing before packing up. Perhaps it would be wise to also spray the interior of the drawers and cabinets before placing your clothing in them. We do this and one step further. We have all our clothing, clothing not being hung in the closet, in large zip-lock 'Hefty' bags, which we then place in the sprayed drawers and cupboards. It still will not protect you , should someone cough in your face in the elevator, but at least we can try to protect ourselves as best we can. Good point, clean the Drawers as many put dirty clothes in them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on deck 9 but several rooms away from that one. I bought the wipes that were recommended and between their cleaning and us wiping everything down as a precaution, I think we will be fine!

Normally not a big issue but I would not want to be confined in that cabin. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdg623 Posted January 11, 2019 #343 Share Posted January 11, 2019 This just occurred to me and apologies if it was addressed earlier - wondering about C&A points for this sailing - since the cruise fare is being refunded, I'm assuming none will be earned ? We were on the NYE sailing and picked up our first crystal block - if we'd been on this week instead would they have taken it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted January 11, 2019 #344 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I would go crazy in that cabin! Just got debarkatiin luggage tags and instructions. Got a really high number. Was surprised no priority for D+. Concierge did give us lower number tags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vettprincess Posted January 11, 2019 #350 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) We wipe everything in the cabin. Will do even more in Feb. on the Harmony. Even the inside of the drawers and shelves. However, I use packing cubes and put those on the shelves so most of my things have some protection. Just plain a fact that not all people practice cleanliness and do not care about others. Just watch people touch face, nose, etc then touch everything and spread their germs. Sickening to see, especially in the buffets.
