I'm grateful to all of you who've helped me learn 💯 Tip of the hat to @Asawi and @Katie H! Thanks for the guidance about the steps to do it... You need to click the link under "free pages" (or something like that) without logging into the personal account. If I've misunderstood, please point me in the right direction, okay? I'm ignorant. But it's the kind of ignorant that wants to learn.

I was unable to find this topic when I searched in the NCL forum. So, I'm asking it as a new topic. If you've cruised with NCL in sometime in 2023, - did you used NCL's Internet Café to connect with the Cruise Critic website? If yes, did NCL comp you for the minutes spent while connected to domain: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/ ? Are they still giving free time so CC members can post a Live Cruise Report ?

2018 Rick zipline Bermuda Cruise.mp4 The ropes course isn't just for kids... it's seriously fun!

Back in 2018, we took public bus route #7 to reach the beaches along Bermuda's South Shore. The trip took about 35 minutes and it immersed us briefly into island life. The bus stop was a short walk from the ship (docked at Royal Navy Dockyard). It was a highlight of our Bermuda trip to explore South Shore Park and its amazing coves & beaches.

I still hope to see an answer to the original question asked by New2cruise2022. Have any recently returned cruisers requested and received twice daily service in their NON-Haven cabin (tipping appropriately, of course!)?

My renewal was completed in less than 48 hours without an interview. That being said, I'm acknowledging that: The passport number already on file for me was still the same. It had not changed/renewed. The state ID I carry is an 'Enhanced' ID (REAL ID).

Last Sunday, I posted in this string that I had begun the renewal process. Today, less than 48 hours later, my renewal has been approved.

Because of your posting, Don, I've begun the renewal process early. Your posting made a difference. Thanks for the heads-up about renewal delays. For others in the same situation of needing to renew TSA PreCheck or Global Entry in 2023, I used website: https://secure.login.gov/ to begin my renewal process. FWIW, Here are the instructions provided on the website for renewing: How do I renew my Trusted Traveler (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST) membership? You become eligible to renew your membership 1 year prior to program expiration. If you submit a renewal application before your membership expires, you will be able to continue to use benefits after your membership expiration date. Follow these steps to renew your Trusted Traveler membership: Log in to the TTP website (click https://ttp.dhs.gov). If you don't have a login.gov account, you will be directed to login.gov to create an account first then you will be prompted to setup your TTP account profile. On the profile page, you will need to associate the account with your PASSID (membership number). See the back of your Trusted Traveler card or your approval letter . From your Dashboard, select the Renew button on your Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST program membership section. You must declare your citizenship (if you are a US Citizen, you declare "U.S."). Select the program that you wish to renew. You may select to renew another program for which you are eligible. However, remember that depending on the program you choose, your benefits may change. On the next page, acknowledge the program requirements. Follow the guidelines provided on the Membership Renewal page. When you have updated all information in the application, on the Final Review page, click Confirm and Continue in each section. At the bottom of the page, click Save and Continue. On the Certify page, answer Yes or No to "Do you certify?" Select Next. The Purchase Summary page will display. Fees are for application processing and are non-refundable. Check the box under the total application fee to agree and proceed. Select Pay Now. The online payment page displays. After payment, you will be returned to your TTP Dashboard.

Thanks for the updates you've been posting! The laundromat you used... was it "Downtown Convenience & Laundromat"? If not, can you remember the name/location of the one you & Mrs. Banjo used?

Denise, I hope you've noticed that your profile pic here on Cruise Critic has been updated. It now shows that you've earned a rare designation for posting this Coming Soon! Live from NCL Pearl 10/14/2022 to 10/21/2022 Boston-to-Bostin Canada/New England. Thanks for doing it! Did NCL offer passengers a mid-cruise laundry special... one low price for a bag-full? - if yes, on what date did they offer it to you? Thanks for pics and the thoughtful writeup about your first cruise!

Hooray! NCL's Updated COVID Protocol for Canada Effective 01 October 2022, the website for Norwegian has been updated. Beginning on that date, NCL's boarding procedure for Canada: - discontinues requiring passengers to show an ArriveCAN approval. - discontinues requiring passengers to prove vaccination - discontinues requiring a pre-cruise negative COVID test result As time passes, NCL might change their Canada COVID protocol again. So, here's the NCL link, making it easy to verify. https://www.ncl.com/travel-requirements-by-country#canada

Here on CruiseCritic, there's a conversation thread you can review to learn about Regent Flights - with and without deviation.

Hi, Rogueperson. Firstly, keep your eye on news from Canada. It's possible that Canada's travel-related COVID requirements may be changing soon (as early as Sept. 30, 2022). Until changes go into effect, we all must comply with current Canadian requirements. Secondly, requirements set by the Canadian government for international travel can be found on their website: https://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/gbi-rgf-eng.html. This includes a section specifically for COVID-19 Cruise Ship Travel. As of today, Sept 20, 2022, this section describes the circumstances when, YES, two ArriveCAN submissions may be needed.

Under a full moon during the 1790's , my husband and I swore a blood oath about doing step aerobics. It was a long time ago by human standards. Have you - on any of your recent cruises - seen step platforms available? They look like this:
