To be honest I'm not bothered about whether it's Coke or Pepsi. I quite enjoy both so I would definitely err on the side of the latter with regards to your question. In the UK we use Coke as a generic term for all the cola's but hopefully they have Diet Pepsi or Pepsi Max on Carnival? I've had the Barcadi spiced rum before and it wasn't very nice in my opinion but it is what it is. Just happy to be cruising abroad again!

I had no idea about this! And I am the husband!

I've heard Oct 11th as well.

We head there at the end of October.

I would think they are moving very quickly on the structural reports as each ship that doesn't berth is lost revenue

I would be extremely surprised if the pier wasn't open again and ready for use by cruise ships within the next few days.

Nice.. So the poor things can see where they are supposed to live.. So near yet so far. Please have a good think before going to see them.

I couldn't agree more! We are on Royal in mid October and I am at a complete loss as to why they haven't dropped the testing requirements yet.

It is extremely confusing at the moment. They really need to align themselves.

Yeah I think Carnival were last up! I remember as I did a happy dance as we're on a Carnival cruise in October. We have a Royal cruise the week before the Carnival one so hopefully there will be another happy dance at some point this week!

Well Carnival followed P&O, which followed Cunard almost by the hour last week in announcing the testing changes so maybe Royal will follow Celebrity too?

UK celebrity site also showing no testing for cruises 9 nights or less from US ports. I expect that RCI will follow very soon. A bit like Carnival followed P&O and Cunard on the same day

We are doing the reverse. To the US from the UK and my wife has been stressing. Try and take some solace from the fact that you are much more likely to test negative than test positive. The odds are in your favour!
