Call your State's Attorney if you live in the US. Good luck

Endeavor has had to cancel 4 stops there this week and the on the last one they did a zodiac tour and not a landing due to thr Avian flu. A passenger said they didn't go on the zodiac tour as they warned they would see dead birds and seals. Pic from FBook.

They have to report it to the appropriate authorities depending on relevant jurisdictions. Hacking or not they have an obligation to protect personal info and report a breach IMHO.

I was booked on Regent for their 'Canadian Dollar at par' promotion. My US friends also booked the cruise at a 25% reduction in $USD under a promo for Americans. So, it did seem to me to be a bit of an enticement to book without any substantive savings between Canadian and American passengers.

That is reassuring to read that the staff is returning. On my first Crystal cruise, I thoughr this is a special place since so many of the frontline guest facing crew had been with Crystal for many years.

Does anyone know what is included with the booking fare? Maybe I missed it on the site: all dining/reservations required, excusions, drinks etc;. I didn't see it. BTW, what is the role of a 'junior butler'? I really enjoyed the old Crystal, but not sure of the overall product offering. The onboard staff were what I enjoyed and hope they can bring back the vibe and congeniality.

At the very least you will get what category was booked. Good luck for more!

The TA found the same pricing as you indicated, and placed a booking for me.

Thanks for highlighting this. I booked on the Spirit today because of this!

90 min in Seattle is doable imho. Good luck.

Yes. Not sure if the hull cleaning passed for the more 'environmentally sensitive' areas so those destinations won't see a visit. See: https://maritime-executive.com/article/fourth-cruise-hit-with-biofouling-as-new-zealand-and-industry-meet Hope the rest of the cruise is uneventful and everyone enjoys it.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/third-australian-cruise-weeks-turns-nightmare-after-fungus-outbreak-prevents-entry-new-zealand Article says that the ship was instructed to undertake biocleaning prior to coming to NZ.l in December. (see last two paragraphs).

You wanted them to change rules because of being a past customer? It reads like i made a mistake but there shouldn't be any comsequences. The policy is in place for not an arbitrary reason - its a requirement for countries visited that is standard and could potentially open up the cruiseline to issues with ports visited. Sorry, but thinking that there should be an exception for you and your past sailing history is a bit rich imho. Anyways, hope this works out for you

At LAX? Yikes.

But they are coming back from a 'cold start.' Perhaps the crew will not have its 'rhythm' and I assume that the cabins will need to be prepared close to sailing, engineering systems used to load along with f&b provisioning. Will be interesting. I have been on a number of cruises after a dry dock and my experience is that its not smooth sailing the first few days. Hoping for the best for the PAX!

Glad to read that quarantine is over!

How are you doing? Hope your quarantine ends soon.

I bought it as well for my next trip. I consider it an additional layer of protection like masks, jabs and social distancing. Its efficacy is still being studied, but it is available for sale in Isreal and parts of Asia - but not US or Canada currently. Good health to all!

Take care. Thinking of you and your wife. Hope you are 100% soon!

Sometimes they only offer D2D without flights.

Agreed. The tidal sea level changes are not unknown events -- the risks to safety were not handled well IMO. Hope the PAX are recovering from their injuries.

Also chexk with your credit card if it has some coverage - you may be able to buy top up insurance to increase limits. I find it overly expensive but part of the cost for travel these days. I ended up buying non medical travel insurance and a separate covid coverage policy to cover what Silversea doesn't - mainly landbased quarantine - with some overlapling coverage on both. I have medical from work. Good luck!

Check with your TA + don't forget to check airline policies as well. Requirements are fluid so you will need to keep checking to be sure. Not too much fun, but better to know before departure. If a booster is required, I have seen that it needs to be 14 days before arrival for some countries. Good luck.

Can hardly wait for the next installment! Thank you very much for this - makes me long for travel and a nice meal. Last cruise fir us was late 2018, but going on the Muse in December.

Can you share it? I only read that the Indian gov't was opening up another office for in person visa issuance in the UK. Maybe more good news will come soon.
