We are here now and it was cold, windy, and wet today! We are from New England, but even though the temp was between 11-13 C, it felt much colder. We are wearing rain pants and coats over down coats, with a hat. I am a little worried about how cold the ship decks will be, given that we are staying in the south right now and aren’t on the water yet!

Just go to the latitudes desk and ask for it! It wasn’t a lot- I think $75 for the room, but it’s something!

One last question- did you find it easy to get to the port from downtown? We’re going in a few days early and will need to make our way over independently.

It was not available when we sailed in April (and that was our first Platinum cruise), but we got a small amount of OBC to make up for the missed activities. We are sailing next week and I’ll check again and let you know. I was also excited about the behind the scenes shop tour- been waiting for that for years!

This is incorrect…we cruised in October to Bermuda- masking was optional but recommended. We then cruised a few months later at Christmas, and masking was required. When we cruised in February and April, it was optional as well.

Thank you for the update! We are on the Star next week and I’ve been following the weather and see lots of 40’s and 50’s. How was the wind on the sea days? We are bringing down coats and hats/scarves, etc, but just wondering if you (or others) were able to be on the decks comfortably. Thanks again!

We are going to Iceland soon and the balcony rooms were originally listed at $6,000 PER PERSON!!! Needless to say we booked an inside for just about $2,000 each. Fingers crossed we get an upgrade! After final payment balcony rooms dropped to $4,000.

You do not need to do this. This thread is for people who tested positive in the last 90 days and are providing a positive pcr result as well as a doctor’s note that they recovered so that they can be exempt from the negative test required to board the ship. Unfortunately, I got covid (along with the whole family) on our April cruise, but never confirmed my home test with a pcr, so this does not apply to me. The antigen home test will not be accepted for this purpose.

We just turned platinum in April, and we were on an 10 day cruise, and we each got 2 free bags! So handy!

I got Covid on our end-of-April cruise (along with half the ship!), but my doctor told me I didn’t need the PCR to confirm it. We’re traveling again in July (within the 90 day window) and now I wish I had the Pcr because NCL told me the doctor’s note is not enough.
