We were on the ESCAPE out of Orlando.

 

Well, I consider living in the same cabin for a couple weeks would be close contact.  She was tested POSITIVE and VERY symptomatic (Headache Full head lots of Coughing) so  I was "presumed" to have it without testing me as they reasoned I must have it due to contact.

 

We stayed in our original cabin as did everyone we spoke on the "special Disembarkation" to that didn't go to the infirmary.

 

Thanks for the info. I think I read some reports that they weren’t delivering alcohol, but good to hear you were able to get something. If they are quarantining with no symptoms, the least they can do is honor the beverage package! 
 

To the people asking if they are quarantining close contacts (not cabinmates), I only read about this happening on the Bermuda cruises where there were lots of special rules and additional tests. If anyone knows of a recent example from another ship, please share.
 

The poster who had their child test positive recently on the Bliss was not quarantined or tested. NCL does not want to find any cases right now. As far as I know the only people who have been tested onboard lately called the medical center and asked for help

I don't drink much hard liquor.  We got Quarantined on Jan 1st and Yes 2 glasses of wine at a time but no bottle. 

Thx. Order black label. Drink. Repeat. Room service all day long and an upgrade from my inside to a balcony. And a full refund. Quarantine doesn’t sound all bad!

@jezabel80  Here's the account of the couple I mentioned in my earlier. post. https://www.elliott.org/cruises/norwegian-cruise-line-news-made-couple-stay-cabin/

I sincerely thank you all for your concern. 

I'm fine and she has recovered. 

She had a negative PCR for only $99 at the hotel we were staying at.

Not because we were being monitored by NCL, but her desire not to pass it to anyone else.  The hotel room had no balcony so it was TV, Internet and Dominoes. 

I'm sure you've heard of the game where everyone's name eventually becomes hyphenated beginning with YOU [fill in the expletive]

 

 

ALSO.......

I was with my GIRLFRIEND, as in GOOD friend.  

I was NOT traveling with some variant parasitic life form of walletsnake.

or HER friend

I believe this is because they only have to show tests on ONE person  and ASSUME the other 4 in your cabin have it ( with symptoms) without needing to record it.  I have no hard evidence of contact tracing but none of the people we disembarked late with said they were contacted.  Each one said they had requested testing in one way or another.  "I just thought I had a cold"  was common for the less serious cases.

Thanks.  I do remember that now from a few weeks ago.   The update was interesting.   NCL  blaming Bermuda and visa versa.  That's the problem,  it's impossible to get a straight answer from anyone. Maybe by now,  NCL has a better handle on things,  and are revising all their misteps.  🤞

We had bid on the upgrade weeks prior to boarding and we were had the Beverage package.. 

 

No one I spoke with changed cabins although one spent a couple days in the infirmary.  They have not said anything about ANY refund, only pay for what you need to ashore and after your trip insurance you can apply for $100/day per person meal allowance, Reasonable transport to hospital or Airport and flight change fees up to $300.

ALL other incidentals are at YOUR cost.

Thanks so much for the info! Glad you are both well now. I wondered if most of the qurartined cases were from passengers that were tested after asking for medicine or seeking treatment from the medical staff. Did they even have any cold medications at the on board store?

Our 3 week sequence of events has given me complete confidence in how much Norwegian cares about us after they collect our money and get us off their boat.

That is how it started for us.  She was sure it was a cold from swimming in the ocean.  After it got worse she only wanted Nyquil.  They have NO OTC to just go buy there so she had to involve the Dr.  THAT is how she found out.

 

Thank GOD she did though as she wouldn't have had the right antibiotics and could very well have self prescribed to the symptoms until it was too late.
