The issue to me is the gender/title is unnecessary for the cruiseline and assumes only cis-normative gender.

This makes more sense to me, tbh. Our cruise in July is set up with two at sea days before we arrive in Bermuda and one on the way back. I figured if they changed the itinerary to 1 day to get there and 2 to get back, the testing problem is solved.

Now that stateside cruises have started to Bermuda, could anyone share how the onboard Covid testing is going in the day or two before arrival in Bermuda.

I think this email, although a syntactical nightmare, does address one question I have had regarding testing and Bermuda. It is clear that Bermuda requires 1) their health evaluation form and the $40 fee associated with it AND 2) a negative covid test within 4 days of arrival in Bermuda. So the $42 fee for the onboard test makes sense for those of us who are at sea for 3 days before arriving. The follow up question now is whether Bermuda has changed its testing requirements such that "Fully Vaccinated guests** who are not Up to Date*" means those of us who are boosted no longer require the test. So now I'll explore the Bermuda health requirements for any changes. But no matter what, I now know I can get the test on board. That's what I've been waiting to learn.

Actually, lots of cruises have allowed move up before then. I keep checking my reservation directly and get the 21 days out message. From others on the board, it sounds like the message until it's not. I suspect the longer range move up is because so many cabins remain unsold.

I can confirm it won't show up on your reservation and they didn't automatically send me the invoice after I made the final payment. I called to have the invoice sent and everything was there as promised.

everything remains as clear as mud.

Question...If we take a taxi, how do we arrange for a taxi back?

Thanks for all of the replies! I got on hold to customer service and ask them to send me the invoice...which probably should have been sent with my final payment. But all is good and in black and white!

Hi! I always get a little nervous whether I have booked what I think I've actually booked. I booked a great deal on a July cruise to Bermuda that included 30% off fare, $300 OBC, the premium drink package, and of course, wifi and gratuities. I think this is the equivalent of the elevate package. Yet on my reservation I see only the discount on the cruise and the OBC. No indication of the premium drinks. I called a representative and they confirmed I have the Elevate package booking. But I will admit, I'd feel more comfortable seeing that stated clearly on the reservation. I've also paid in full now, but never received a final invoice. Is this standard now? I cruise celebrity every 5 years or so and have never had a problem. But mama's gotta have her Rittenhouse Rye in the premium package!

My wife thinks she's mastered that very drink. Zacapa 23 makes a regular appearance in our liquor cabinet...along with a bottle of Aztec Chocolate Bitters.

It is Newark Springhill Suites at the airport...which is a marriott property.

I was happy to read your posting. Just booked them for Cape Liberty. Same hotel was offering the free parking, room and transportation to and from the port for $60 more than the same package from trinityreservations! Thanks for the savings tip!
