  1. If your looking for something fun with kids in Majorca, have a look at Pirates adventure 20 cab from port. Its an award winning dinner show and if you have a late departure from Majorca its something different. Food is midling but the show is amazing even as adults we love it. Id skip Rome its an early start, long day and quite busy and to see in a day is too intense while still being 1.5 hours away

  3. Just home from a great trip on the VIVA , what a great trip even if we did have to miss Mykonos due to the strike in Athens port , everything was great food and staff top class. Highly recommend vibe beach club. Already looking at my next trip

  4. We left the Joy as you boarded, we had a great 5 day Haven sailing to Bermuda. While we didn't intend to spend a lot of time in the Haven as we had a forward penthouse the staff and service was second to none and we spent a lot of time in it.

    Outside the Haven our favorite bar was the Cavern on the Waterfront , all food was great from taste to Manhattan to the Haven restaurant and Cagney's. 

    The only gripe was we had premium + and while we had our included MOET bottles the waiter would not let us bring the remaining bottle with us we had to finish it there.

     

    Enjoy the rest of the HAVEN and your trip, we just got back to Ireland yesterday.

    Please make sure you take note of a very important exception to NCL's protocols applicable to Bermuda cruises. Certificates of recovery aren't accepted in lieu of a negative test for Bermuda cruises. It's buried in the text of the email and easy to miss:

    "*Please note, a COVID-19 Recovery Certificate may be presented as an alternative to the testing requirement as noted above if you have tested positive within 90 days (US) or 180 days (EU) of your scheduled embarkation date. This excludes all voyages visiting Bermuda ."

    We will do, we are going to book our pre tests with onpoint , as we fly into NYC 3 days early so will schedule test for either the Tuesday 30th or Wednesday 31st August

  6. Got this email this evening for our September 1 NCL Joy to Bermuda

     

    Dear Valued Guest,

    On behalf of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), we thank you for your patronage and loyalty and for making us your vacation of choice. In advance of your upcoming cruise, we want to ensure that you are fully aware of our latest health and safety protocols, as well as the travel requirements for the destinations we will visit for sailings through and including September 2, 2022.

    *Please note, a COVID-19 Recovery Certificate may be presented as an alternative to the testing requirement as noted above if you have tested positive within 90 days (US) or 180 days (EU) of your scheduled embarkation date. This excludes all voyages visiting Bermuda.
    - At check in, these guests must have one of the below acceptable forms of COVID-19 Recovery available (dated no less than 10 days and no more than 90 days (US) and 180 days (EU) before embarkation):
    - For European citizens, this would include an EU Green Pass or comparable certificate.
    - For guests unable to present an EU Green Pass (i.e. U.S. citizens), a doctor's note, plus a laboratory-confirmed PCR test result with the proper information (i.e. name, date, date of birth, positive result etc.) will be accepted.

    Cruises originating from all other destinations:

    - All guests are not subject to pre-cruise COVID-19 testing.



    VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

    - All guests ages 12 and older must be fully vaccinated at least 14 days in advance of embarkation.
    - Children and teens between the ages of 12 and 17: Full vaccination protocol at least two weeks after receipt of the final dose of any WHO approved vaccine. Children under the age of 12 are not required to show proof of vaccination.

    TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS BY DESTINATION

    - If traveling internationally, the countries you are flying to and/or connecting through may have different testing and booster stipulations, and we encourage you to visit the government and airport websites of every country you will be traveling to throughout your journey to familiarize yourself with their requirements.
    - There may be additional testing requirements and/or entry forms for certain embarkation ports and/or ports of call along an itinerary. Please visit www.ncl.com/travel-requirements-by-country for further details, and make sure to complete these forms before leaving home.
    - Masks are optional on board, with the exception of sailings visiting Italy, where they are required while the vessel is alongside and in port. Italian ports specifically require KN95/FFP2 type masks.
    - Please visit www.ncl.com/freestyle-cruise/cruise-travel-documents to learn about the required travel documentation that you will need for your voyage.

    Please remember that awareness and compliance with all travel requirements is the responsibility of the guest. Failure to comply with the requirements listed on the sites noted above will unfortunately result in denial of embarkation. We encourage you to check these sites often, as regulations change frequently and with very short notice. As government regulations evolve, our health and safety protocols will evolve as needed to ensure compliance.

    Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you aboard very soon.

    Sincerely,

    Katty Byrd
    Senior Vice President, Guest Services

  7. We are currently in a HG forward penthouse September 1, 5 night sailing to Bermuda.

     

    We currently have bid on the following but not getting our hopes up:

     

    H5/6 , 475 EURO PP 900 EURO TOTAL

    HB/C 325/305 EURO PP 650/610 EURO TOTAL

     

    While the second bathroom/shower in the aft penthouse would be great for the 3rd adult , if we are unsuccessful we will cope. The 5/6 would be a dream but at the same time 900 euro could go a long way.

    Do you think Bermuda will drop their covid testing for cruises that take longer than 5 days to reach them? I am on a cruise in September with NCL it doesn't reach Bermuda till the 7th day. Will the ship test 4000 people on board before getting off the ship?

    We also go in September to Bermuda , September 1 for a 5 night sailing but i cant see much changing although Carnival are drooping testing.
