Not trustworthy enough for me. Rather spend a little more with a Legacy carrier

Luckily we didn't have any trouble on several trips we took.  They were great for Transatlantic cruises, because one-way fares were half of round trip.  You cannot take one-way on most big carriers for half the price.

You can with Air2Sea. Both legs are seperate purchases.

Have had good luck dealing directly with KLM in the past for one way TA legs.

We got a one way from Philly to Bologna (with a changeover in Heathrow) Premium Economy for $735/pp. Booked direct with American Airlines.   I think we did pretty well.  Last 2 times we booked with cruiseline, they dropped the ball.  The first time they cancelled our reservation completely (they wouldn't take any responsibility and had no idea who or why we were cancelled, as the flight was still a go).  The second time we found out days before we were due to fly to Rome that they bumped my husband off the flight.  Both times they were First Class/Business class tickets.  And neither time did they notify us.  We happened to check our reservations and found out.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings today announced it will no longer require guests to complete pre-cruise COVID-19 testing unless required by local regulations, according to a press release.

This policy will go into effect across Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises beginning August 1, 2022, the company said.

For sailings beginning August 1, 2022, vaccinated guests sailing on a cruise originating from any port EXCEPT a U.S. port; Canadian port; or Piraeus, Greece are exempt from all pre-cruise COVID-19 testing requirements.

 Wonder if that would still apply if a cruise starts in Europe but ends in the US.

Wondering what the situation will be with fall TAs that originate outside of the exceptions, but end in (or visit) a U.S. or Canadian port?  My guess is they will not be exempt.

All ships sailing where it is not required by local authority rates.  The press release says it WILL remain in place in US, Canada, Bermuda, and Greece.
