I went on a scuba trip to Little Cayman and tested positive. I was in quarantine for 12 days until my CT value was above 32. At that point I received a letter of recovery from the Cayman government stating I had covid and did my quarantine and now and was cleared to travel. It is good for 90 days from when you had covid.

My understanding is that the cruiselines follow this CDC order.

Airline Checklist: How to Confirm Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination and Negative Qualifying Test Results or Documentation of Recovery from COVID-19 Purpose: To help airlines confirm passengers’ COVID-19 vaccination (as applicable) and testing status before they board flights to the United States, as required by Presidential Proclamation and CDC’s Orders*. Part 2: NEGATIVE TEST OR Documentation OF RECOVERY: Passenger Must Show a Negative COVID-19 Viral Test Result or Documentation of Recovery from COVID-19 or Meet Criteria for an Exemption to this Requirement

I also have my DOR letter and was wondering the same thing

That would have been lovely. I was going to do a prison break at midnight but when I asked the asst manager she said it would be best if I just stayed in my room. We booked ocean view rooms 3 years ago and by the time our group decided on a date, they were all taken. And they were booked solid - surprised I was allowed to stay in my room. What got me through it was my daily writing of a script for a tv series called Covid Island. I tried to make it funny and all of my friends loved it and said that was the first thing they looked for in the morning. My son also helped me installed netflex on my tablet. I figured if I acted like I felt, I would be totally depressed.

Be thankful it is Canada and not The Cayman Islands. I tested positive after a scuba diving trip and the resort marched me straight back to my room and told me I could not leave. I got yelled at when I had my door open while I was standing 2 feet inside and my son 5 feet away from the door. They placed a table right outside my door and I had to grab my food off of it and close the door immediately. And then received a bill for $3000 for my 12 day stay. The manager told me I could be fined $10,000 and put in jail for two years if I stepped outside my room. One of the times I talked with the nurse, she told me I had better adhere to the rules of the Cayman Islands or suffer the consequences. It was 12 days of hell. At least I have my letter of recovery that will still be within the 90 days for our cruise. But I do worry about my husband and kids.

Suggest you go to their WEB site to get your answer. Or else call them. I did but have received different answers

Do you pay a deposit for the Harv and Marv's tour or do you have to pay in full?

So sorry that you are upset with Princess. I have not been happy with them either. 3 1/2 hours on hold and we still flight issues. We have also had cancelations for our upcoming Alaska cruise. And I am very disappointed. We have had nine cruises canceled the past two years. And many private excursions where I did not get my deposit returned. We have experienced many long waits at restaurants and other businesses. There is a worker shortage in all areas. You may think you were the first to book. Not sure if you are elite or not but elite people have the perk which allows them to book early and there are many repeat people that do Alaska every year.

Thank you Linda. I really appreciated your input.

I had to place my cup on the counter and they filled it. They would not touch my cup.

Thanks. The first week of diving was great - our dive team had it booked in 2020 and 2021. We had to wear masks whenever we were in any of their buildings and to and from the airport in their vehicles. All meals were buffet - divers get very hungry!! You wore your mask until you started to eat. If you got up without it to get something, one of the staff was right on you. Outdoor bar, pool and on the boats did not require masks. Last year in Cozumel, you wore them all over town and even on the dive boats until you put your reg in your mouth. We all had to register before taking the test. The test result was emailed to you a couple hours later and the resort would print it out if you need a printed one. Unfortunately, I was the only one in the resort that tested positive - no symptoms. They were very strict about their quarantine requirements. You could not step out of your room until your CT Value was above 32. No idea how I picked it up. When I was able to leave, one of the dive staff told me two hotel staff were in quarantine just before me. They get tested every two days.

We were at a scuba diving resort in the Caribbean a month ago. Everyone was tested at noon on Friday in their conference/meeting room. Reservations are Saturday to Saturday. They had large tables with 4 chairs at each. We all were at least 6 week apart. There was a test kit at each chair and we were told to leave our masks on until told to take them off. We were told when to take our mask off and swab our nose. Then we were suppose to immediately put the mask back on before we did anything else. The nurse walked around and looked at all of our kits. Then we were told to leave. I was very impressed as to how organized it was.

Happy Anniversary!!

That is our plan also. I purchased a good supply and will take four tests for each of us. We need a test to get on the ship after our land portion - not sure if Princess will do them at their lodge. I plan to test one day before for both ship and flight home. We have AT&T and phone calls in Canada are free. I imagine Princess changed their policy so they are not responsible for the paying for the quarantine expenses. I was in quarantine for 11 days and my resort bill was $3000. Canada requires 14 days. I signed up for the international phone plan and just needed to use it one day - $10 was reasonable.

Ok, that is really cool. I may need to get one of those. Thanks for sharing

When we went to dinner, Mike would put it in his pocket. I usually am wearing a swimming suit most of the time around the ship in warm weather locations so I would either stick it into the top of my swimsuit or stick it up under my swimsuit at the hip. If no swimsuit, I would stick it into my bra. First cruise with the medallion, I made Mike put it in his pocket. The last cruise I had to take a small purse around with me for the medallion and my phone. I did use the lanyard around my next in ports - stuck it under what ever I was wearing. I do not like it on display - just like so many people carrying around their blue Princess bag - shouts tourist!!! Your clip is handy if your pants have belt loops.

That happened years ago in Alaska. After our excursion, I t old Mike to go up to our cabin and I would take a picture of him on the balcony from the pier. I think I gave up after 20 minutes. His car key would not work and there was a line at customer service. I do not like using the medallion. Most of my clothes do not have pockets and I do not carry a purse around the ship or my phone. I can get up and go to the bar and get my own drink - good to move around!!!

A month ago, I had to have mine replaced twice. Give me back my key card.

Wulfwyn, Thanks for telling me about the train. Still sounds like fun, even without going into Canada. We did not get the sewing kit last month on the Enchanted - luckily I brought an old one along - one of the only times I needed to sew something. Love their pizzas. Appreciate all your pictures.

I think this luggage discussion has been blown out of proportion. The backpack or small bag is just what people should bring onto the bus or train - you can still bring extra luggage which will be stored under the bus or if there is no extra storage, it will be taken by truck to the next location. They encourage you to send as much as possible directly to the ship.

Wulfwyn, Thanks for posting the pictures. I have been looking forward to doing the White Pass train excursion for three years but there is so much confusion about it. Reports are all different and many say the train is canceled yet Princess still has all of their excursions listed. Which one did you do? I would prefer to do the train in both directions. We loved dogs but have stopped at the kennels before. Same with gold panning. Were you happy with the excursion?

Thanks for letting us know about the canceled tours. The Hubbard Glacier excursion is the one we have waitlisted.

For what this land tour is costing, maybe it is time the cruise lines realize people want to be comfortable and have their belongings close to them. Yes, I realize their is limited space. On our last land/sea trip, they had a truck that transported our luggage from lodge to lodge so there was no issue with having your luggage with you during the land trip. Maybe Princess is different from cruise lines you have been on. I will do what I can to send some things to the ship but I plan to bring along things I might think I will need. And overweight luggage can be a pain. We fly first class so we never need to worry about being overweight. But I do not like to handle heavy suitcases or damage them because they are so heavy, so I would rather bring another piece. I know many people do not tip but we always do.

no idea why some is in red🤷‍♂️
