devinc Posted December 31, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2021 w Who are the Havana bartenders? Will be on Jan 8 if we can get negative tests. Happy New Year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharhu22 Posted December 31, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Yes definitely want to hear how things go. We are booked in Havana Cabains for Jan 22 cruise. Will be RVing in Galveston the whole month of January so no travel issues as we will be 3 miles from the pier. I am concerned about the Covid stuff going on right now though especially with the new recommendation that vaccinated as well as Vaccinated shouldn’t cruise the CDC put out. We are getting a bit nervous based on some other stories about testing positive after off the ship or testing and then ending up in Quarantine on ship, shows being cancelled and other events being cancelled even elegant night due to covid on ship. Hope you find out differently as I really want to sail but it is getting really concerning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally worried about capacity but they said it’s greatly decreased in the last week. And per the Facebook group, a chunk more canceled the last couple of days after testing positive and after CDC recommendations yesterday. Someone emailed PVP about capacity and got a response of 50-60% before this latest round of cancelations.

csj092809 Posted December 31, 2021 Author #15 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Delayed due to port closure for fog. Fingers crossed it lifts soon. This vacation has been a course study in Murphy's Law. Still excited to be cruising soon, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotVeryCreative Posted December 31, 2021 #24 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I'm on the vista waiting to debark. We just pulled up but they are saying it'll be 1 or 1:15 before we start to get off. Enjoy your cruise! I saw them rolling the champagne out for y'all earlier. 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
