I just found out about this Travel Authorization today. Our travel agent said that this requirement came out of the blue. I suppose I understand them wanting a record of vaccination and the health form filled out but really think that requiring a $40 fee per person is a bit ridiculous. Regardless, we have to do it. Our travel agent mentioned this Travel Authorization to us today, does your cruise line (RCCL) notify you that this needs to be done? Our travel agent sent a link to the form but suggested we not complete it just yet as our cruise isn't until 9/11. Does this sound right? Thank goodness she just mentioned it in passing, otherwise we wouldn't have known to expect it.

I don't think that I would consider it a step down. I've never sailed on Brillance but HAVE sailed on her sister ships. However, I've sailed on Enchantment a couple of times and love it. Enchantment was actually cut in half and lengthened years ago. It's a great ship and I wouldn't hesitate to sail on her again if she was closer.

Yes Charles, it's our Bermuda cruise and Bahama cruise right after. This wasn't required in February but wanted to make certain. I appreciate your response.

I have an upcoming cruise in September. My husband and I were vaccinated in February and March of 2021 and received our booster in October of 2021. Are we required to have another booster before sailing? All that I have read just says vaccination required.

Enchantment is a great ship and would prefer it over Brilliance. Please update us when you know anything.

I have an upcoming Bermuda cruise and looking at tours. Most land tours are 5+ hours and I'm not too interested in that length. Anyone has any information about tours? Can you get a water taxi from the cruise port to Hamilton? We will be there half of two days and one full day.

They don't have a Cafe Promenade on Jewel, unless that has been added recently.

What restaurants/eateries are open on embarkation, other than Windjammer? Is coffee at Latitudes free, like the Cafe Promenade, or is there a charge?

Thanks Merion_Mom!

Does Mariner have a Sorrento's? I don't see it on a deck plan but the last time we were on that ship, back in 2019, I thought we were able to get pizza somewhere. Perhaps Cafe Promenade?

My husband and I had our Covid vaccination Feb/March 2021 with a booster in October 2021......nothing since. We are seriously considering not getting another booster. We have a B2B for 9/11 and are wondering if we will be able to cruise without another booster. Any thoughts/experiences?

I have a B2B planned for September and wonder what the current procedure is between cruises. Do you get off the ship, does a custom’s official come on board (which was done at one time), what time do you get off and back on, is breakfast only served in Windjammer, etc.

Does anyone know why Celebrity doesn't cruise out of Port Canaveral? That is our favorite cruiseport and closer to home. Tampa has a Celebrity ship but it's an older, smaller one.....which is okay BUT....why not cruise out of Port Canaveral?
