My mother and I did the April 27th cruise on Celebrity Ascent.  Beautiful ship!! As this was the 1st Mediterranean cruise for the this ship, I was expecting some long lines and waits.  The tendering in Santa Margarita and Nice, France were frustrating to say the least.  In Santa Margherita, we had to wait to board the tender boats (they used their lifeboats) and could only handle 3 maybe 4 to and from port to ship.  I do hope it works its way out and they get a system going.  I should note that we only did the Celebrity excursions and did not venture to other third party as I've read quite a few passengers do.  I heard one gentleman say they missed their meeting time on port in Nice as they used 3rd party vendor and had to wait 2 hours before they could tender out.   Other ports were docked, Florence, Rome, and Naples.  I do want to say that Florence was 1-1/2 hour one way from port to city as well as Rome.  We didn't mind that as we loved the beautiful tuscany vineyards and napped on the bus! We loved our cruise and blessed to have spent time with my mother (84 years old!).  

My daughter and her fiancée are on this same cruise with another couple.  I won't see pics until they get back so I've so enjoyed your photos this week - thank you!

NYCer here. Plenty of options besides Quest or pharmacies.

 

The LabQ vans have always gotten my results back to me in 24 hours. Quick and easy.

We will be staying at NYC Mariott Marquis before our May 23rd Summit sailing.  I hope to use these vans if still there in May.  We will be doing the rapid 1 hour antigen test for our sailing. Thank you for the information!

Hi Neighbor!

We're in Beavercreek.  I enjoy biking from the Beavercreek Station to the Yellow Springs station, but NOT in late January.  I understand completely about being unable to travel due to concern about leaving an aging dog behind.   Enjoy your cruise!

Small world it is! I am from Beavercreek in Tara Falls development off Shakertown😀

Sadly I cancelled our Europe cruise in May as we felt too iffy and with all the testing that would be required. I was counting at least 4 rapid tests needed with land tours mixed into the trip. It was to be my daughters first Europe trip as well for her college graduation gift. We booked Summit out of NJ in May instead. Hopefully next year or 2024 I can take her overseas.
