Good answer to those pseudo-experts who choose to put words in the mouth’s of others.

Guess no more coming from Princess?

Geez….first thought that someone had died!

The tap water in your cabin is exactly the same water that is served in the MDR and everywhere else on the ship So, yes. It’s safe to drink.

Unlike Carnival, no wanna-be thugs running up and down the hall at all hours of the day and night. And again, like Carnival, absolutely no 3 AM brawls involving a dozen and more people.

Call your TA. Let them sort it out. In the past I’ve canceled a cruise on a ship that was alleged to have been completely full. My TA rebooked, got the new package and we kept the same cabin.

Not to worry. I care about you!!! Never mind what all the other meanies say! I offered the perfect solution for you in an earlier post. Assuming you missed it, it’s reposted below: How about this - one cabin class and size across the entire ship with each cabin priced exactly the same. Equal access for everyone to all shipboard restaurants, entertainment and all other amenities. This provides a completely democratic cruise experience. Problem solved! Simple, huh?

Nope. Not nearly democratic enough for me. You sure you’re not an elitist? NOTHING LESS than total and complete equality for each and every passenger aboard.

Lots of “supposing” going on in all of your posts on the subject, amigo.

When you say daily planner, is this a printed document or electronic presentation you are referring to?

CFAR insurance returns at best, 75% of one’s money. Some policies only 50% Were I you, I’d reconsider my stance on getting a single booster. Typically done at no cost to those getting the vaccination. For a decision based totally on cost (many decisions, I realize, aren’t), it’s really a no brainer. Not meant to be preachy. Just my $.02 worth.

You romantic, you.

Now there you’ve gone and done a complete about face. Is this the same individual who for ages has looked down his nose at anyone who fails to dress “properly” or up to his standards? Of course it is. Since you asked, speaking for myself and I’m reasonably certain a whole bunch of others here, I couldn’t care less if you decide to dress like the Christmas turkey in the MDR at dinner or anywhere else for that matter. That said, if your revised point of view now includes making peace with the fact that there are others who don’t subscribe to your dress demands on others, it’s a new day! Enjoy your tux. I believe everyone here, including me, support you wearing it. Be happy with your choice of dress. I am. Is it too much to ask that your support the dress choices of others?

And you are so right! Which is exactly what I did 👇. I guess what I'm really wondering is if anyone has a different interpretation than I have on the official word on the subject from the Canada government website pages. Lord knows I'm anything but an expert on deciphering "governmentese". Any government!! Yes, however further down in the same section is the following: Choose the scenario below that best fits your cruise plans: Starting an international cruise in Canada or arriving by cruise from another countryCruises that are staying in Canadian waters or not returning to Canada All travellers are required to take a pre-embarkation COVID-19 test before embarking on a cruise in Canada, even if the cruise ship is not leaving Canadian waters Travellers who are staying within Canada throughout their entire journey or who are leaving Canada and not returning don’t have to complete ArriveCAN. https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise

I phrased it as I did in an effort to keep from offending. I could have said: What I'm keenly interested in are points of view that can be substantiated via official Canadian government documentation and which avoid conjecture, opinion, impression, presumption, assumption, speculation, presupposition, feeling, sentiment and plain old guesses which are pulled from one's nether regions. Just the facts as presented by the Canadian government, please. But all of that is just too wordy.

Extremely thorough summary!! Nicely done. Like you, I’m also interested in any other points of view that can be substantiated via official Canadian government documentation.

Not sure it’s correct to state definitely that completing ArriveCan for a second time is always correct. Reading down further in the section of instructions you provided will reveal the following: Choose the scenario below that best fits your cruise plans: Starting an international cruise in Canada or arriving by cruise from another countryCruises that are staying in Canadian waters or not returning to Canada All travellers are required to take a pre-embarkation COVID-19 test before embarking on a cruise in Canada, even if the cruise ship is not leaving Canadian waters Travellers who are staying within Canada throughout their entire journey or who are leaving Canada and not returning don’t have to complete ArriveCAN. https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise

I had hoped that PCL would have led the way on this rather than being skunked by RCCL.

We’ll done mods!

Be comfortable.

Yawn……….

We’ll said. I completely agree.
