Were all cabin grades available? What capacity ie 50% ? How much $ was the cruise? Is that higher than before Covid? Thanks 🙂 Following 👌 Cruise Length: This is a 3 Night Cruise (22nd - 25th March)! Covid Testing/Jab We have been scheduled to get our Covid-19 Swab test 3 days before the embarkation date. Mother and I had an interesting conversation with our aunt. My cousin, (her son), is a med student who is going on this cruise as well. This means that he is prioritised and highly recommended to get the vaccine. Still, quite a large number of Singapore's population are taking a wait and see approach. She asked whether it would be better for him to get the jab before the trip, and we told him to hold off. There seems to be no official policy on the requirements of Covid-19 jab so far. But I'm sure that'll change as more get vaccinated. Cabin Availability/Price: All cabin grades were for sail. I booked through my Aunt who is a TA and will be going with us, there's a total of 7 of us, with a possibility of +2 more (but that's not under the same booking). She told me that Suites were all sold out for many sailing dates well out beyond a month, a rather interesting trend, I must say. Interior cabins were also on sale at the time of booking, though I would think are less less popular given the relatively low prices of Balcony cabins. The 7 of us are staying in 3 Oceanview Balcony Staterooms. Price came up to around $3800 SGD which is equivalent to $2800USD or $3633AUD. Capacity: My current knowledge about this is that it should be following the same protocol of 50% ship capacity or maybe slightly more for the time being. I am aware however, that they have plans to increase that in the very near future and i am not sure whether this sailing will have these changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare teacherman Posted February 24, 2021 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Is that $2,800 USD TOTAL for all of you? Or is it that price for each of you in an oceanview balcony for 3 nights? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am, however, I'm only Platinum as of now. And still probably need an additional cruise to reach Emerald Status. What tier are you? The perks would likely be different for you and me, if you're quite high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
