Rare Ken the cruiser Posted August 14, 2021 Author #201 Share Posted August 14, 2021 For those either getting ready to or already on their way, here’s what the weather looks like right now at the terminal at 8:42 am. Quite pleasant temperature wise, but a little breezy which is probably why it’s quite nice sitting out on the balcony this morning. 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinBanka Posted August 14, 2021 #203 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi Ken! Great informative review and looking forward to your next 2 week’s observations, as we are boarding for a B2B when you disembark on the 28th. Question…. I know they are testing between B2B cruises, but are they also testing for vaccinated passengers disembarking who live in US? Thanks and enjoy your next two weeks!

Yup, but heading now towards our home near Montgomery AL. Hopefully it will weaken before it gets there. One can hope anyway. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ken the cruiser Posted August 14, 2021 Author #209 Share Posted August 14, 2021 According to our Retreat concierge thanks to the new Virgin Islands rule where cruise ships won't be allowed to enter their ports, to include St Thomas, if there are any unvaccinated passengers 12 or older on the ship, we will be a fully vaccinated cruise this leg, except for those under 12. Yes!! 😎 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to hijack Ken’s great thread, but we had Jose in Luminae a week ago. We had also had him on Equinox last year and thought he was very good.

I believe they are only giving free antigen tests to those folks that are disembarking and flying home to a foreign country that requires the test to enter. So if you're flying back home in the US, they will not be giving you an antigen test. At least that's my understanding.

Less complicated for us Wonder if airlines or home cities will require tests as it was last March for NY bound fliers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
