cruiseej Posted June 24, 2021 #201 Share Posted June 24, 2021 2 minutes ago, Observer said: Most paperwork shows boarding beginning at 2 PM, but in most ports it has been practice begun at noon. This is not a loyalty perk: anyone who shows up between noon and the published embarkation time is free to board. Exactly right! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted June 24, 2021 #202 Share Posted June 24, 2021 As Spins mentioned and actually those folks sailing on the Moon, we all received an email about the new boarding time. Yes, it is nice to board earlier but I really don't think it is a big deal. (Just my opinion). They are trying to do everything to keep all of us as safe as possible in these extraordinary times. Spins mentioned it earlier in this thread.......I am sure the earlier boarding will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lois 🙂 we just made a comment about earlier boarding pre covid as some of us were not aware this was a perk !!! Yes agree it's all different now as so many protocols are in place ( price one has to pay to want to cruise at this time !!!) PS don't forget your 😷think of us in Europe who cannot get away so easy as you in USA etc can do !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman The Cat Posted June 25, 2021 #206 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The updates are fabulous — thanks so much! Just curious — what excursions has everyone done? Are there any you took that you loved and any you wished you had taken? Have you visited any of the beaches and which ones were hit/miss? Thanks so much!

As I noted before I am on the July 28 cruise and am doing independent hotels, tours and transfers so would like to arrange my transfers to the ship - what is the earliest we can board.

Credits for free cruises are recorded in Silversea computer system. I contact my Silversea rep, and she instantly sees my eligibility. As for laundry: When I embark for any cruise there is a note in my suite reminding me I am eligible for free laundry (as if I would forget 🙂). This has always been our experience thanks for confirmation and long may it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can chose any cruise for which you have not already paid in full -- even cruises where you have only a deposit. You are of course not limited to a seven day cruise. It's seven days of free cruising. I am always on longer cruises. If, say, I apply a seven day certificate to a 21 day cruise, they discount the fare by 33%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were three swabber people in full protective gear in separate cubicles. I wont describe it all unless you really want to know the procedure. We waited an hour in that tent before we received our negative results. By the time we got aboard it was 3:30 pm ( we were not permitted to enter the tent area until 2 pm). A very very long and exhausting first day. I might add the airport procedure to enter Greece was a breeze. Just had to show fax card and the locator number. We are flying Air Canada from Florida. I just want to confirm that all you had to show was your Vaccination Card or is there a certificate that must be obtained where we were vaccinated and the Greece Health Form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
