Now, back to the harbor and on to the ship. Lots of smiling friendly staff, champagne and finger sandwiches to orient and welcome us. Our room and balcony are very nice.
We mustered soon after boarding for our emergency drill with life vests on. Soon after that, we went down to the auditorium to go over our week’s activities. HICCUP!! One of the guests tested positive for Covid-19!! Apparently, she tested negative before her flight to Orlando, negative at the quick test in Orlando. When she boarded the boat she complained of 'flu-like symptoms', they retested her again and she came up positive.
Our debriefing was canceled while they interviewed said carrier and did some contact tracing. Back to the room to await our fate! Hey, we are leaving port! Only about 2-3 hours late. Not bad. Late dinner with two seatings rather than one, (pre-Covid), to help with social distancing.
Next day: they gave us the orientation which was postponed from yesterday. They told us about the Covid carrier. They escorted her and her companion off the ship last night. Otherwise, we're on our way but the seas are high and the lots of holding on the rails is essential. Seas about 10-20 feet. We were told that one rogue wave actually went over the bow! This is 5 story ship. That was a big wave!
