Thank you for the traffic update.  Possible an extra 15 minutes?  So worth it!

Anyone know what a cab costs to Naked Fisherman?

We had a very bad experience with Spencer a few years ago. Never again

There of been a few threads of individuals having problems with the OnPoint customer service. They have experienced long hold times.  I would suggest using Rapid Test & Trace.  https://rapidtestandtrace.com/

Do you believe and repeat everything you read online?

Since Walgreens has added wording to their site something to the effect that “you may incur a charge,” has anyone tested at Walgreens and been charged? We are over 65 and on Medicare. I have tried to search whether Medicare is continuing to pay for covid testing. Have not found anything definitive. 

I think if you do not mention travel as the reason for your testing, it will be covered.  Testing for travel is no longer covered by Medicare. 

We were on the Wonder in March.  Had 5200 passengers and the cruise was very good.  Good service, food, and entertainment.

Thank you for your opinion.  Unfortunately countries such as Canada require testing preloading.  The consequence of noncompliance is either the passenger cannot board or the ship cannot call on a port in that country.

Maybe I missed it but I have not seen where Canada requires testing. The ArriveCan form only requires vaccinations.

The same reason some people blow $21k at the craps table in Vegas in 15 minutes.  Because they can.

Bad analogy.

I did read on the googly news that Carnival will announce any decision regarding pre cruise testing on their August update.  I am waiting for August until I panic.

When is their August update?

thanks

No, why pay $21000 for a $2000 vacation?

Discovered I need a new suitcase for my upcoming cruise.  My last cruise was over 10 years ago.  Then, they stacked a ton of suitcases on a cart so high, many cases on the bottom (including mine) had parts get crushed and cracked.  Should I avoid a hard shell for this purpose?  Are they still destroying bags?  Any suggestions for a solid suitcase that won't cost the price of a cruise?

We’ve been on 20+ cruises and never had a suitcase damaged. Accidents occasionally happen.

We are also on this cruise and it is an 8 day cruise to New England/Canada. Canada requires a negative Covid test which you will have to upload to ArriveCan in order to board. 😎

I wasn’t aware that the ArriveCAN form required a recent Covid test, just vax info???

No!

Sorry to hear this.  We were on the Legend pre-Covid out of Dover and it was a great cruise. Carnival has not had a stellar startup and I won’t sail with them until they get their act together.

I would rather no one be able to get Covid19 while cruising, So until that happens, keep the testing going.  I was vaccinated and booster twice but still got Covid, along with my wife, on our recent Alaskan cruise (June 13 - 20).

Let me understand, we should do exactly what you and your wife did…..despite you both catching Covid?

Hope you both recovered quickly and are feeling good again

It’s a hunk of tough roast beef on a dry roll. 
I’ve tried it several times and never bothered to finish one. 

Agree 100%.  Cheap cut of beef and sliced too thick

I'm not ever sure they have the correct number as some are asymptomatic with no need to test. 

No way do they have correct numbers.

Whenever I see the word "outbreak" I raise an eyebrow.

Agree, can’t tell how much is even true.

The basic math hasn't changed much - generally, if you know for sure you'll have at least 5 alcoholic drinks per day every day, get the package in the planner.

Agree 100%.    Don’t understand the need to be so precise

I was reading on the St. Kitts tourism page that as of April 1, 2022 all travels must submit a rapid antigen test (not home test) within one day of arrival or a PCR test taken within 3 days. How does this work with cruise ships? St. Kitts is day 5 of our cruise.  https://www.stkittstourism.kn/travel-requirements

I think that is for private vessels, not cruise ships

Do you remember the cost?  Also, was it since the restart?

I heard there was another fight on a Carnival ship a day or two ago.  Any details?

Can’t believe anyone goes to these shopping talks.  

I did use Messenger to contact the hotel and their response was very timely.  As of now they are offering a $39pp day pass.  Our cruise is in March and they told me to recheck availability closer to our arrival

We live in Eastern Pa. And our local CVS is scheduling only 3 days out but have many appointments available each day.  Seems like an easy option.
