This is why I only sail DCL . We just got off the Dream this morning and the they were very, very efficient when it came to minimizing the risk . Masks indoors were strictly enforced and social distancing in the shows were enforced. Tests were performed 3 days before for unvaccinated kids and all of us the day of embarkation. Also, test was performed before disembarking Castaway Cay on unvaccinated children. We were very pleased with Disney’s protocols and cleanliness throughout the ship.
Three of the four DCL ships are in yellow status per the CDC.
I believe they are testing onboard for passengers who require a test to get home.
So probably passengers from other countries?
They probably weren't asymptomatic.
My guess is at least 1 initial positive was a person from another country who planned to fly straight home at debarkation, therefore needing an onboard test. From there, it's anyone's guess if the rest of the positives were similar non-US or determined to be close contacts of the initial positive. The notice above indicates they are testing all passengers and crew before debarkation.
No, it was at the end of a 7 night round trip cruise from NOLA with port stops in Hondoras, Belize and Mexico.
If the people were doing a B2B, they would have been tested the day before they arrived to disembark the first leg. That’s the only thing I can think of. When we did it in October there were probably 50 ppl staying for the next cruise.
