The ship did the right thing quarantining those that were on the August 21 cruise where the one guest tested positive in Guayaquil on the way home. Always better to be safe than sorry. All the new guests had just been tested and we could have been exposed. There were 10 people staying for the second cruise. So of course we were part of that group quarantined it really was not that long. Just Saturday night to Monday morning, really one one full day. A test on Saturday night and a test on Sunday night and everyone was negative.

Not 100% positive but I think I know the couple that asked to be debarked. They were on the 8/21 cruise and really not physically fit enough for this trip. They were really struggling and could not walk far and had trouble boarding the zodiacs. As they were part of the 10 that needed to be quarantined I think they took at opportunity to leave the ship. It was probably best for everyone concerned. I have not seen them so pretty sure that is what happened.

So far the weather has been much better than it was on the first week. Sunny every day and the seas are calmer. Really nice to see everyone again after such a long break. Two nights behind on my dinners and only 7 nights onboard. Wish it was a little bit longer.
