Editorial Summary

A cruise creator documents the experience of testing positive for COVID-19 while on a Royal Caribbean ship. After a passenger named Laura tests positive, the couple is moved to a designated quarantine area on deck three. The creator describes the quarantine accommodations, noting that the room includes a window and access to complimentary room service. They observe that food is delivered using a contactless method where items are placed outside the door. The creator also mentions that movies are available for free through the in-room television system. During the quarantine period, the creator monitors Laura's symptoms, which include chest congestion and fever, while also managing their own health. Upon disembarking at Port Miami, the couple is escorted to their vehicle by staff. The creator concludes by reflecting on the cruise line's efficient protocols and the high number of other passengers in quarantine, while expressing frustration toward other positive passengers who refused to wear masks in public areas.
