I think I gave you the incorrect Zip Code, it should be 95511 but if that doesn't fill in the blanks try the 95111 I posted earlier (one of them is correct 😄).

 

Some people are posting on the Facebook pages that John Heald is looking into somehow streamlining this process.  I think I would still attempt to get the Visa yourself; I can see the nightmare if Carnival tried to process these unless they somehow strike a deal with Indonesia.

You can use 95511 or 95522 which is the one I used.

We will be doing the underground rive too but with Carnival because of the US Gov.  Warning.

I also wondered that.. and if I have to get a booster as I already had 2 shots.. just not a recent booster

 

I don't think you are fully vaccinated.  I have had 5 injection including  2 boosters and getting a 3rd booster on Wednesday for the new variance.

Hi, John:  It’s almost time to start our great adventure!!  Looking forward to meeting up on the ship.  Did you get on any excursions?  I haven’t booked any yet but would like to join some, especially  for Japan.  When are you arriving in Seattle?  I’m arriving on the 13, staying overnight at Motel 6 near the airport.  It has some good reviews   Joan.

My name is Michelle.  I’ll be cruising solo on this 30 day adventure.  Wondering if we still need to do the Covid test before boarding since Australia has changed its policy lately

I asked my personal cruise consultant yesterday and she said nothing's changed as of yet...

Hey Ausblonde, Gaz & Jane here also from NSW doing the same trip.

Flying out of Sydney 1st of September for Honolulu staying there till 7th and flying to Seattle for a week before we leave on cruise.

Be good to catch up in Seattle before we sail.

What part of Sydney you from?

Gaz

 

 

Hi Gaz, so sorry for the delayed response I forgot about this site. We are not flying out for a few days yet, plans changed so will only be in Seattle for a night. 

 

Look forward to meeting you on board. We are from the Parramatta area.

I’m wondering how carnival does with white clothing sent to wash n fold service.  Do they have to be bagged separately?

No, they don't have to be bagged separately.  My only experience with whites are underwear which doesn't come back quite as white as done at home, but acceptable.  Remember all the laundry is washed in fairly hot water and dried in a hot dryer so be cautious with items that might shrink.  My pre-washed jeans came back OK as did some sports grey t-shirts.

I have the one shot J&J and I'm considered fully vaccinated.
