That is brilliant enjoy Lisbon and Vigo they are great places

If the application hasn't been accepted or rejected by what 9am tomorrow morning do a new application which will delete the current one and tell him to use his bank card the one his bank gave him make sure enough money is in the account as well

And the application still shows as authorisation pending not travel not authorised?

Is the payment showing as pending or is it not showing up at all? I can check my payments with my HSBC app on my phone

Input the application number on the check individual application and post a picture put your thumb over the passport number but get the application status in the picture and any boxes you can

@ellie1145 check the esta application and post a screenshot of it and i will help you

Have you checked the bank statement yet? Try and go to a public library use a pc computer with the keyboard you can touch or does a neighbour or friend have a pc you can use?

Then why was Cunard chasing me for it then? Letters in the door that sort of thing. If they had access to it the entire time? My father had his printed on paper I did not. I offered to give the reception desk the all the info but they wanted paper copy. That was christmas 2017 though.

It is also very true. If he can't get the ESTA his money is gone all of it. I do not know if he can board without ESTA and hope this clears before they get to NJ or Bermuda. On QM2 in 2017 December crossing I had my ESTA approved but not printed off I made them wait a few days for it mostly because the printers in use whenever I went to use them.

If the ESTA comes back refused he has to obtain a visa. NO WAY he gets that in time to board in Vigo or Lisbon.

But you don't get a print recorded of every entry you only get the 2 year approval? And you don't need the approval date to be current when you leave the country only when you enter? And you can enter with a couple of days left on the esta and be granted 90 day visa waiver admission.

The Leonardo Royal Hotel is a little bit close isn't it? I haven't sailed out of Southampton since before Covid.

There is also that really big funny shaped hotel right across from the terminal isn't there? That will have a bar and resturant I imagine

One has to ask the question why didn't you apply BEFORE booking the cruise? If he is denied there is NO WAY he will get a visa by Sunday. not at friday 11.39am UK time.

Have you ever done Dublin preclearance? I am doing that in April. I am worried a bit. That might be a quite tight timetable.

5 months ago JFK with wheelchair assistance for my father for our ill fated T/A. I was never asked what I do for a job etc etc just asked the plans. I was sent into secondary first time ever because I give a bit of attiitude to the officer passport was handed back with no questions asked.

Did he use the offical CPB site? Or did he use one of the for profit sites you see on google?. Has he been to the bank and told them to approve the payment if it still pending perhaps the bank have stopped it? He he had problems going to America in the past?.

What about flying over the USA to Mexico? Don't you need ESTA for that even if the plane doesn't land? And what I don't get is the need of ESTA for an eastbound T/A . I was asked for it on the NCL Pearl and Anthem. Yet you are leaving the country it doesn't have be vaild when you exit only when you enter. And you can board without the esta in your hand they will just hound you the entire cruise till you show them the paper print out. A lot of people on the first day use the printer to print it off.

Having to eat with plastic knives and forks as well was terrible. Metal ones can be bolled after use you know to kill off any germs.

There are more lines than P&O you know just to put that out their for you.

TV DID NOT work, no radio and it wasn't 24 hour room service hardly any room service at all. Ok there was a full noro outbreak onboard effecting the staff.

Perhaps being locked in the cabin for 2 days probably the entire trip in conditions worse than jail is what is putting people off

Just cancelled and rebooked it at £54 per day. Saved £47 that will pay for my airport hotel at Manchester airport

FWIW A friend of mine was on the ship at the same time and he has no problem didn't mention any food problems onboard nor any mention of covid.

The Pearl noro outbreak was April 2019 on the T/A and though there was something with lettuce in the news in America. I wonder what we really had.
