Just read on social media that the Captain's Club host is in isolation, wonder how many crew are affected?

Where did you see this?  Not finding it on the usual Fesses de bouc pages

It was on a CC closed group but has since been removed, posted today from Invergordon.

I’m pretty sure these are Galtonias...Galtonia Candicans to be exact.

I know the individual flowers look like Leucojum but Galtonia have more of a cluster of growth at the top and multiple flowers along the stem.

Hi

Is the Classic DP still drinks up to $9 on the Staycruises.
It shows Guinness at $12 but I’m sure I have had it on the Classic.

$11 due to UK VAT.

For those using EUROFINS for their pre cruise PCR test. How quickly did you get the results and how easy was it to access them. Thank you in anticipation.

The only restrictions were half of our bus were allowed off to use the toilets and 5 minutes later the remainder. 

Great, thank you. Someone mentioned that the restrictions were with the site capacity but it looks well spread out 🙂

Very easy and the results go direct to Celebrity as well. We had the test Tuesday at Stanstead,  were quoted 48 hours but had them late Wednesday. If the results don't arrive just go to Southampton at your check-in time - if Celebrity don't have them they have facilities for a rapid test (30 minutes).

Thank you. Reassuring . Just hope we don’t fail. Would be extremely disappointed to miss cruise after waiting so long. 🙏🤞🛳🍾

Timed tickets for all visitors. We had a private guide and she prebooked for 12.30 we left the ship at 10.00. Cafe not open inside but the ladies were serving teas,lattes etc outside from a mobile kitchen. A couple of tables but it was very windy so we sheltered against the wall behind the toilet block - was better than it sounds

Ours took around 36 hours. We never received the email- it has been reported that aol and yahoo accounts have issues. However we could access the results on TrustOne. Once others on our roll call started receiving theirs, I kept checking TrustOne.

Our Eurofins results took just under 24 hours to come through. The results came through on the website link/account several hours before the emails -  and whilst my husband and children got emails, I did not. Testing for the children at the terminal very quick - results in 10 minutes.

I think it depends which lab your test goes to. 
We had our test at 10.30 in Holmfirth( Last of the Summer Wine) West Yorkshire, on Tuesday. They were collected at noon and taken to a Lab in Wolverhampton!
The results still hadn’t come through mid- evening on Wednesday, so I contacted Eurofins by email. I was told they would be with us later in the evening.

They arrived just before midnight, so the first job was to print the certificates before we left for Southampton on Thursday ( we always travel the day before, as the journey can take between 6-9 hours).

10 days out from cruise today and still unable to access eDocs or print luggage tags, no biggie but did wonder what everyone else has experienced?

 

No sign of a Move Up email either and direct link doesn't work with our details - just get message saying check details and make sure it is within 30 days of departure!

We are sailing on 18th September and we have had access to all of that for a while. 

 

Have you been able to complete the check-in process up to the health questionnaire stage?

 

I assume you've had the email for your PCR test though?

Yes all checked in and booked in for PCR.

 

Been here before to be honest when I have booked through TA.

 

May ring them just to give them a shove!

[Alushar]

We are on Sept 11th sailing we have Xpress Pass, PCR etc but luggage tags still greyed out

[Mark_T]

Stupid question, but you do have a cabin number assigned I assume, not just a guarantee?

Yup assigned cabin.

 

[ela123]

I always get an email with the documents on PDF in addition to the edocs link through my booking

[Mark_T]

Same here, once you've completed the check-in as far as you can you should get an email titled:

 

'Your Guest Vacation Documents are now ready for Reservation ID:xxxxxxx...'

 

That will contains the 'Guest Ticket Booklet' which includes the luggage tags...

Does anyone know how much the 'reduced capacity' is for the rest of the seacations? Just back from a Princess seacation and it was around 40%, give or take.

[sgmn]

Can any recent cruisers advise if you have to book shows or can you just turn up. If you do have to, do you just add to planner once on board?

Also do you have to book gym slots or again just show up ?

Would also be interested in how full Silhouette is now
