    A printer in the Oceania@Sea space is accessible for passengers. Ask the IT person for the printer name and password. For printing, you’ll have to have the doc open on your device and then sign on to the printer’s “WiFi” to print.

    Remember to go back to the ship WiFi afterwards.

    Thank you

    @caribcruzrThere is a phone number and email address for making Aquamar reservations at the link below. Maybe they can tell you the brands that they use if no one answers here.

    I did not have good luck communicating with the Aquamar people, prior to my Nov 2022 Med cruise on Marina.

    Lots of optimism regarding this cruise but I cannot help but think that it may end badly when all is said and done. We unfortunately had a Viking (Iceland) cruise cancelled in July of this year and additionally cancelled another Viking cruise of our own volition which was scheduled for April of 2021. Will wait until a vaccine is proven and available before taking another cruise.

    I agree with you. I wish these cruisers best of luck & health, but I'm also waiting for "time of the vaccone". Godspeed MSC. 🙏☘

    I've been following this thread and am hopeful that MSC can pull it off.  We are thinking about a cruise from the USA in April 2021.  I realize that everything can and likely will change by then, but as of today, I'm worried about the nasal swab.  I've had one done and they aren't much fun.  We have a 5 year old that will be tough to test.  Hoping the saliva test is widespread by then.  She has no problem producing plenty of spit!

    Today's news on the saliva test approval by FDA sounds promising.

    Thank you all four kind words- and @Miaminice- I agree- very much so. 

    If one wishes to visit the theater or the little „ Schaubühne“ where they show small productions of plays you have to make a reservation beforehand. 

    No more open seatng while the pandemic lasts. 

    I will do that tonight and see how it works out. So fare it is a wonderful voyage- just imagine a ship which can take more then 3000 passengers ( which is for the size of the ship- is not to much in the first place) with now a bit over 1000 passengers. 

    I know that  to be a once in a lifetime experience. No lines- no rush. Extremly silent and relaxing. 

    Since I have only four days in which to try all the Speciality Restaurants I booked on all of them - some for lunch- some for dinner. You have to pay A la carte- no cover charge- just as in a regular restaurant- but that has nothing to do with the Covid 19 situation. 

     

    I did the MDR this morning for breakfast- worked pretty well. 

    I talked to several crew members already ( but not a single fellow passenger - but I just enjoy the  time  to be by myself. ) and all of them expressed how thankfull they were to be back on board a ship and back to earn money.

     

    When they arrived home when all crew was sended home- some experienced dire situations caused by the virus. 

     

    So they bent over backwards to be helpfull and friendly. 

     

    I have just to mention the sail away yesterday evening out of Hamburg. It was almost magical- the decks were crowded all right- but everyone seemed to adhere to social distancing- and the open decks are huge- so everyone could get a glimpse of the passing city with it´s sights.. The churchtower of „ the Michel“ the new Elbphilharmony and world famous St. Pauli with the Landungsbrücken. 

     

    We paased several ships on our way along the river Elbe - all lighted up like they were on an actual cruise. I hear later from a crew member that they did that on prupose to greet us - they all are waiting for there turn to reasume crusing. 

    Man crewmembers stood around the open decks with the lights of their mobils flashing and we in turn answered. Then of course the horn competitiion as I call it. 

     

    As I mentioned before this also my very first time on board a German ship so all of it, for me too, is a novel experience. 

     

    I had a great time in the aft section of the ship- they call it „ The Diamond“ comparable to X´s aft bar with the same wonderful view over the Wake of the ship. 

     

    More the next time- time for my nap. If you have any questions- just fire away. 

    I gathered so many great information during my 16 years  of beeing at cruise critic so this is my chance to  give something back.
