Got it for 139 online in advance. 199 on the ship and they only had 7 left by 5pm yesterday. Please accept my condolences on your wife's passing. I'm enjoying reading your comments and looking at your pics. I'm on the 8/21 sailing so lots of helpful comments here. I was debating on buying the thermal pass online or waiting until I boarded, your comment made my decision for me... thank you! I'm also going to ask if they charged you a corkage fee for your wine? I've always brought my own free bottle in the past but reading now that all wine will be charged corkage is making me think I won't bring any this trip. Hope you and your children continue to have a great cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said there was some kind of emergency ahead of us, and we did see coast guard out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam1965 Posted August 5, 2021 #540 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Per news reports, there is a signal, coming from 1400 feet, cloud ceiling is 900 feet, so they’re organizing a hiking crew to get up there. No idea what they’ll find, hoping for the best! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your spam folder, I'm on the 8/21 sailing and I received the email yesterday afternoon and it specifically says that proof of a negative covid test within 72 hours of embarkation will be required on all cruises starting with the 8/14 cruise. It says no tests will be done at the port and those without proof of a negative test will be denied boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last port of the cruise 😞 We will have to go back to the real world soon and I am not ready for that! You have that backwards... Cruising is the REAL world... all this other stuff is just to make money so we can cruise more!😂 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
