  1. Good morning all, Inquiring for my wife...curious if Silhouette stores sell Lily Pulitzer merchandise currently? We were on the Equinox back in October and my wife found a few nice Lily outfits. We don't have a store within 75 miles, so she really enjoyed seeing an area dedicated for Lily on the ship. I'm not sure if Lily has a dedicated area fleetwide...can anyone who has been on the Silhouette recently confirm?
  2. Did you see any additional charge on either end phone bill? Not familiar with all these apps. Does whatsapp work with iphone?
  3. We have the basic internet package with our cruise. Can anyone recently on a cruise (preferably Silhouette) answer as to whether they were able to make wi-fi calls on board using the basic internet package. Thank you.
  4. Are there USB ports in which movies can be played from a external hard drive or flash drive?
  5. Yep, understand that part. Probably poorly worded on my part, I wanted to know how far out from the cruise would I receive from Bermuda.
  6. For those who have been through the application process...how far out did you get your approval email from the cruise?
  7. Newcastle is the best! Can't get it here in Vero Beach, but I have a friend north of here that routinely gets it for me at Total Wine.
  8. Couldn't agree more with you. This latest change from Bermuda adds an additional layer / requirement for unvaccinated travelers, requiring them to produce travel insurance with covid coverage for all. This is for all sailings after 8/22/22. First, this is just another additional expense one has to incur, and second, how would one obtain such insurance if they find themselves with a sailing in the near future?
  9. Sadly, you have to monitor the island policies as they change as well. I got the email below from Bermuda this morning. As someone from another thread mentioned, sounds like the change is in response to recent cruise line policies for unvaccinated guest. Cruise Passenger Travel Authorisation
  10. Thanks for your reply Charles. So going by your example...my cruise departs Sunday, so testing can take place Fri / Sat at any time? We've cruised a lot over the years, but this will be our first since the pandemic. The rules keep changing by the day and it's extremely frustrating when the cruise lines put the onus on their customer to navigate through them.
  11. Looking to set up our online proctored test with RTT and was wondering if the two days prior testing requirement for Bermuda was specific to calendar days or hours? Another words, we leave on Sunday and test say 8:00 AM Friday, putting our testing window at roughly 52 hours when we finally check in at the port. Does this matter?
  12. Just got this email as well. What I can no longer find on their website is what they deem fully vaccinated. Prior to this change it was clearly written any combination 1 - JJ, or 2 - Phizer / Moderna was acceptable, with boosters being a recommendation. Anyone else find?
  13. Anyone have these to share? Can't seem to find anywhere.
  14. Thank you for posting. That is far more extensive than the list I got from RTT. Our second batch of Gov free test were SD Biosensor, Inc, also expiring prior to our cruise. RTT rep stated they had no extension for them though. Your list clearly shows they are.
  15. Same here. I'm severely hearing impaired and I always seem to find myself with someone who speaks poor english and has a strong accent I have trouble understanding. Read many post about no communication problems to speak of, which is worth the extra $5 in my book. Seem to recall others posting something similar. At this point I think some of these proctors are just going through the motions and don't get caught up with anything other than pass or fail. Nice lady (Rochelle) at RTT went as far as to find the extension list for iHealth kits approved by the FDA, which put our minds at ease about using expired kits.
  16. Funny thing, we were considering OnPoint as well, up until reading quite a few reviews here on CC and a recent debacle a YouTuber talked extensively about the problems they had with them. Frugal as well, but this is one of those times I'd rather pay extra for piece of mind.
  17. Managed to finally get a reply a little later. Rep actually provided me with a list from the FDA reflecting a long batch of iHealth kits that have expired (on box), or about to, with 6-9 month extensions. Ours were on the list. Thank you for replying.
  18. Our current freebie IHealth kits expire a month prior to our cruise. Found an FDA page showing the kits with considerable extensions of the expirations, including ours. Does anyone have any experience with Rapid Test and Trace, while also using expired kits (date on box)? Messaged Rapid Test and Trace, but not getting an answer. Thank you in advance for your reply.
  19. Agree. But as I stated, cruise lines will find other options when push comes to shove. A typical family of four, arriving via air or sea, has to shell out $160 additional funds (tax) under the guise of covid safety. What happens if come March 2023 Bermuda decides to keep this scheme going to pad the coffers? Do you not think this won't impact the Bermuda tourism industry...won't affect the bottom line? My wife and I are going in Sept and will pay the begrudgingly pay the fee. But should we look to return at a later date and this tax is still being imposed, we will look elsewhere. Something tells me I wouldn't be alone in my position. Anyway, I'll jump down from my soap box now. Wishing you and yours safe travels.
  20. Same here in Vero Beach. Hearing folks going to CVS / Walgreens are now being charged. I wonder if anyone recently has paid and got reimbursed by their insurance companies.
  21. We're in central Florida and options seem to be drying up for free testing. Don't think we have MedStar clinics here. Thinking about pairing up one of the proctored sites mentioned here with the iHealth test we've been getting. Then again, we don't cruise until Sept, so I'm really keeping my fingers crossed the testing requirement finally goes away.
