Rare Vict0riann Posted October 1, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2021 There are still a few days to go before we leave for Venice, but I'm hoping others from our roll calls will join in with their experiences during these Covid times. We are excited thinking about our adventure to come, also nervous - we definitely want to stay healthy, and that really is the main concern - I know the cruise is going to be great. The itinerary is one we've done before, only a couple of new ports, but that really means we can be more relaxed about our ventures ashore, and if we have any doubts, we'll just stay on board. 25 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted October 1, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yes, @SusieKIslandGirl, that was unfortunate. We were originally booked from October 18 (Venice) right through to Fort Lauderdale on November 14, but HAL cancelled that cruise for us when non-Americans were not allowed into the country without a 14-day quarantine. Our new PCC has been just wonderful, I can't say enough about how she has helped us transfer all of the amounts we had paid out originally over to this cruise and arranged our new flights, etc. We were feeling a bit neglected, first our old PCC retired without a word to us, then the cruise cancelled (I think our 7th cruise cancelled), but all is well now, and HAL owes us some money left over from the transfer. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks rather interesting, we will find out more when we get on board. (Test with iPad). 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks interesting but…. Hoping the Cellar Master dinner is still around 🤞 I just KNOW you will keep us informed 😉 If you go, please report on how it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted October 1, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 1, 2021 We will be onboard for the first 12 days of this cruise (October 6 - 18) and looking forward to it. We will be leaving home around 12 noon CET on Monday 4th and driving to Dublin for our 2h 40min flight to Venice Treviso. Great idea to have a communal thread! 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to test before you fly, or are you alright with just vaccination certificates as you are in the EU? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No test required for travel either direction, just the Passenger Locator Forms for Italy and for Ireland for our return and our digital vax certs, which are already uploaded to the airline website and form part of our boarding passes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted October 1, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Bon Voyage! We were looking forward to meeting you and the others who would have been on the trans-Atlantic portion (we were going to be boarding in Barcelona), but you know what happened for us Canadians . . . I'll just be excited for you, and keep watching my Navigator app which has yet to be updated, (it's thinking I'll still be heading to BCN in 23 days). LOL Have a wonderful cruise, and enjoy it especially for those of us who couldn't join you. Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of times we had people at our table who didn’t drink, and they split up the price, and applied the loyalty discount for the food portion. That was on Prinsendam , though, and that was a special ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
