Sorry to hear this affects your sailing. I assume that Celebrity will
offer some compensation to you. They should.

Here is the revised itinerary.

Charleston on Sunday, March 21, be at sea Monday; visit Key West,
Florida, Tuesday; Cozumel, Mexico, Wednesday; Costa Maya, Mexico,
Thursday; at sea Friday; Nassau, Bahamas, Saturday; and at sea Sunday.

Hi Clay,

They are far from going downhill. Cruise lines are thrilled with
these types of scores on a ship of this age since the CDC inspections
are very tough. BTW, you should not take news media reports based on
facts. Most of us know they are often not based on reality.
