I was on it and I haven’t heard anything from Celebrity. I doubt we're going to hear anything from Celebrity. They're swamped and don't have enough resources.

St P actually was responsible for the snakes being eradicated from Ireland (he left a few in human form I'm told)....do you think the quarantini will do the same with the virus (if enough are enjoyed..)? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, even thought they are busy, you would think getting notice out to the passengers would take priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity was one of the last to suspend operations (likely driven by the WH command to do so, not on their own volition) and talk of COVID-19 on board the Summit has been circulating for a while.

How would Celebrity know? Perhaps True - However, there has been a lot of social media circulation about this and dollars to donuts, Celebrity is aware. Puerto Rico knew about the Summit (which hasn’t been spoken of by Celebrity), held a press conference today, and denied disembarkation of the Summit.

Baron Barracuda Posted March 14, 2020 #57 Share Posted March 14, 2020 4 hours ago, WonderMan3 said: And this is exactly why cruises had to be shut down as it only takes one person like this to impact hundreds onboard (with them not feeling the effects until they disembark). Plus the impact on health authorities on shore. Look at Grand Princess. Thousands of scarce test kits used up plus the logistical challenge to transport and quarantine passengers all around the country. The US can't afford similar issues with Summit and Sillhouette. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted March 14, 2020 #58 Share Posted March 14, 2020 3 hours ago, colliercruiser said: One of the unanswered questions is how did this passenger get the coronavirus? Did he already have it (but without symptoms) prior to embarkation? Or did he get it from another passenger or crew member on Silhouette? The answer would be important for all. Hard to answer that kind of question with the length if time from having symptoms to finagling notifying anyone. He could have been exposed in a airport, plane, taxi, hotel restaurant before every getting on the ship. Even if he thought he had the flu he should have reported to the medical department on the ship, the flu is contagious also and can be fatal for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etmanch Posted March 14, 2020 #59 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) My husband and I just arrived back home yesterday. We were on Reflection and disembarked in FFL. We are putting ourselves into 14 day quarantine. We live in the same city noted on this post. On our flight back home to Toronto the couple behind us coughed for most of the flight. Nothing we could do about it and now we wait and pray that we did not get infected! I wish all people who are traveling back to their hometowns really seriously consider the self quarantine so that we can reduce the amount of people who are going to get sick!

As all confirmed cases are investigated with an eye to determining further spread by the patient, you can be sure that Celebrity would have been contacted. I think that they are simply overwhelmed and things are slipping through the cracks. Having dealt with crisis management for many years, it's easy to understand that they are understaffed and ill prepared for current events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS2BS Posted March 14, 2020 #63 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This is terrible news at this point, we were on the Silhouette from the 2/14 sailing and then did the 2/23 cruise. On board we ate in the main dining room, buffet, aqua cafe, cafe baci and a specialty restaurant. Also participated in a cabin crawl as well as attending lectures, going to the shows at night and relaxing at the indoor and outdoors pools. We disembarked after waiting in the designated handicapped area to a taxi that took us to FLL. Then flew home via LaGuardia. Almost every passenger did something similar to this and has been home for a week with family, friends, went to the scheduled doctors appointment and grocery shopping. A little late to isolate given 8 days has elapsed. Heres hoping that the passengers onboard and disembarking in the morning have been informed of the situation, especially those who were b2b.
