To the posters on here (Flamin' June and SLSD)... you can do it!
I have always needed to be totally happy and feeling in control of all that might happen with regards to travel arrangements... I don't like surprises... and I am not going to pretend it is as easy as pre Covid, but it is possible. I have managed 2 SB cruises since the pandemic and we have another one booked this year. And I am soooo glad we did the ones we did. Such wonderful memories that will stay with me forever.
cruiseej has great advice. I would add to it by saying... have everything you might need in the way of vaccine certs, passports, visas, forms etc... both on your phone and on paper in a folder. That way, you know you're covered. Check, double check, and triple check, I agree with cruiseej.
I have always loved the anticipation of a cruise, the planning, the looking up places we visit, all of it. It felt overwhelming initially, with all the extra formalities and restrictions, but I just built that into my planning and knew deep down it would all be worthwhile. And it was! We've had blips, I won't pretend we haven't, but from the moment we walked on that ship, it was literally forgotten and all our worries faded away.
Good luck 😊
