This doesn't help those of us who have the AZ/Pfizer mix for dose 1 and 2, correct?  By my read, they are saying you can have a 3rd booster shot, but your first 2 have to be AZ?

Just got off the phone with our TA - Carnival gave us a full refund. Yay!!  Thanks @K_e_short and @Fouremco for your words of wisdom.  We are keeping our flight for now - lots of time to cancel it, but we are not expecting the rules to change so are 'planning' on a Canadian Christmas this year - again.  

Just canceled our Xmas cruise, so sad. Our TA said it was too risky to wait it out and see if US would accept the AZ/Pfizer mix, as Carnival is being very accommodating about cancellations right now - hoping to get full refund, versus a mix of refund of FCC.  We're keeping our flights for now as we have up to 24 hours before departure to change it, hoping things change.  Yet another Covid travel plan canceled. Sigh.

I'm lost in the rules of flight vaccine requirements and cruise specific requirements.  For flights - is the expectation that US will only allow CDC approved Vaccinated people into US? So no Astra-Zeneca 2 shot people (my husband) and no AZ/Pfizer combos (me)?

I just posted on Carnival board - asking about their specific rules as well.  If any awesome Canadians on here understand the Carnival rules for trips out of Florida, feel free to help me out by clarifying their rules too!

Thanks!

I'm so confused.  Can someone please confirm the requirements for Carnival ships leaving out of Florida: 

1 - Husband has 2 doses of Astra Zeneca.  Is he allowed to cruise out of US as AZ is approved by WHO?

2 - I have 1 dose of AZ and 1 dose of Pfizer.  Am I allowed to cruise out of US? (I believe I am not - so I have to say I am not vaccinated on the vaccination form and cross my fingers that I get allowed on as "un-vaccinated"?)

Thanks so much

Hi,

I just realized we may have a problem flying home to Canada - we are booked on a Carnival cruise that returns to Miami on Sat, Jan 1.  Our flight home is at 5pm out of St. Petes, so we need a covid test done that day to fly home.  How long does it take to get a PCR result  (I saw that Canada requires it be "non-rapid")?  Where can you get it done in the US? CVS or Walgreens type locations?  Panicking!!!!

We are booked to stay in an Overwater Bungalow in Moorea for 5 days. We will be flying in from Toronto, Canada. Do you recommend doing a cruise before or after the hotel stay?

Hi,

My husband and I are booking a cruise for April 2022 (fingers crossed).  We are looking at PG and at Windstar.  The PG cruise is an extra $500.  We are not big drinkers (probably would drink 2-3 drinks per day each).  Looking for Pros/Cons of each and recommendations?  We are late 40s, looking to dive, snorkel, etc.  We are staying in an OWB for 5 days in Moorea prior to the cruise.  Itineraries are pretty much the same:

Windstar (Windspirit):

Moorea: 1 day

Raiatea: 2 days

Motu Mahana: 1 day

Bora Bora: 2 days

Huahine: 1 day

Paul Gauguin:

Huahine: 1 day

Motu Mahana: 1 day

Bora Bora: 2 days

Moorea: 2 days

Hi,

We have a flight booked to Paris at 12:30pm after our cruise ends in Venice.  What time should we leave the ship?  We dock in Venice the day before, so we can leave anytime.

Thanks

We are trying to pick between Trunk Bay and Magens Bay for our stop next week.  We are in port from 8am to 5pm.  

I've picked through lots of posts, trying to decide, can anyone confirm what I've pulled together?

My understanding: Trunk Bay - ultimate gorgeous beach, but can be rough. Has snorkeling trail. To get there:

1. Take taxi to Red Hook - cost? duration?

2. Buy return ferry tickets - take ferry - cost? duration?

3. Take Taxi to Trunk Bay - cost? duration?

4. Depart Trunk Bay to ensure you get ferry 2 hours before ship departure.

Ferries run every hour on the hour.

Magens Bay is a taxi ride away from the port, beautiful beach, but not as spectacular as Trunk - very calm. Nothing special for snorkeling.

Cost? Duration of taxi?

Thanks for any recommendations and confirmations of my info so far.

We're in port from 1 to 11pm, want to go tour the Old Fort.  How does one get there? Taxi - does anyone know approx cost?  I understand the trolleys are not a reliable option.

Hi, 

First time on Celebrity, going on Solstice May 10 to Alaska.  On HAL, you can always avoid the buffet crowd on Boarding Day by eating in the MDR.  Does Celebrity have something similiar?

Hi, I've downloaded the ap, but I'm worried it doesn't work on the Solstice.  Does anyone know?

We are in port from 7am to 6:00pm.  Is that too tight?  We really want to cross Whitehorse off the list, this will probably be the only time we'll be anywhere near it!

Hi,

We have decided to rent a car and drive to Whitehorse from Skagway - any recommendations on things to see and do in Whitehorse - or stops along the way?  (And top things to do in Skagway as we will be there briefly before or after our drive?

Hi,

We are in Juneau on May 13 from 1:30-10pm.  We just want to go to Mendenhall Glacier - no salmon bake, no flight, etc.lol!  Is there a bus that will take you there and back? Or can you just rent a car and do it?  Do you need a guided tour?  

I have a brain injury and need quiet places to hang out, while the kids play on the water slides, etc. Any recommendations of quiet areas (non-smoking) that are reasonably close to the pool/water slide area? AND, any areas totally silent, away from it all? Our kids are older now, so I don't have to watch them constantly, but we need to be close enough for them to be able to come tell us if they are heading off to another area.

Thanks!

Was at grand Turk on Friday this week. It is fully up and running, back to its gorgeous self. :)

Hi,

We will be in port on Jan 3rd from 8 to 5pm. We want to do a catamaran snorkel/beach day (Nevis). Leeward Island Charters has a full day trip available that day, getting back to port at 4pm. I am nervous about booking them due to only the 1 hour between arriving back at port and ship departure. Is this too tight? We've never been to St. Kitts so am not sure of the lay of the land there.

Hi,

I've emailed and called Grand Turk Diving to book their gibbs cay tour (we've done it with them before and loved it.) I haven't been able to reach them - anyone been able to reach them post-hurricaine?

Hi, we have 3 daughters and are considering doing the waterfall tour. They are 12, 10 and 8 years old. We did the waterfalls in Jamaica and loved it. Has anyone brought their little ones and were they able to do the waterfalls?

Hi all -

Anyone have screen shots of the activity pages for the kids clubs? My kids are excited about what types of activities there are. We will be on the Vista for the Dec 30 cruise.

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm looking for advice on what to do in Cozumel.

We are already booked for snorkeling in Grand Turk and in Grand Cayman. Is the snorkeling in Cozumel amazing? Better or Different from Grand Turk or Grand Cayman?

Should we book to do that again OR just book a beach day?

Hi,

We plan on doing Stingray City, and are trying to decide whether to do the Rays, Reef and Rum Point tour or do Stingray Sailing and then spend the afternoon on 7 mile beach.

We like quiet beaches - which is quieter, Rum Point or 7 mile? and, which one on 7 mile?

Thanks

Hi - trying to decide which Stingray City tour to take - we would like to go on a cat. I know Stingray Sailing does, do any of the other tourgroups offer catamarans?
