Just tried and no issues here in So. Cal.

Covers a multitude of sins including Australian, USA, and Europe and gives you 4 USB sockets as well! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G53RVRN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Will there be an automatic 18% gratuity added on top of that $149?

Yup! Been there, done that!

Lately, has Celebrity been offering discounts at the specialty restaurants on the first night of a cruise? Thanks

You are right in clarifying which card since this thread took a left turn re AARP. I was asking about the original HAL gift card promotion that is currently available until Dec. 13. Thanks!

Can you use these cards to pay off your already booked/deposited cruise? Have not made final payment yet and this sounds like a good "discount" opportunity.

This information may be more useful than some other responses. Search failed to yield a specific to Island Princess answer. "From a previous thread.... 1. Connect your HDMI device to the HDMI port on the left side of the TV. Use the open HDMI above the ethernet port used by the the OceanView box. 2. Using the remote, launch one of the live TV channels. The bridge camera or the ship information channel usually work, but you may have to try one of the live TV channels (e.g. MSNBC). 3. Reach under the middle of the TV to find the on-TV directional jogger. Press in once to open the circular four-way menu, then toggle left and select the input selector. A menu will open on the right side of the TV. There should be a red dot next to "Live TV" (if the dot is next to HDMI, you didn't do step two correctly). 4. Toggle down to HDMI and select it. This should successfully switch the input to your HDMI device." Turning off the TV when finished, reset it to the original input when turned back on."

We sailed in June to Alaska out of Vancouver and yes we were required to first do ArrivCan flying into Vancouver and then again to board the ship. All in all it was pretty much a non-event after filling in the ArrivCan. It is tied into your passport so no one even requested ArrivCan since they already knew we were good to go.

The Canadian government does; https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise But whether Princess cruise line does is questionable. It all depends on what section of their web site you look at and who is checking you in at the pier!🤪

Could not agree more with the OP and Princess' procedures re covid, especially going through Canada. Princess phone agents do not present correct and/or consistent information Princess web site presents conflicting information in various sections regarding Covid procedures We agree with many about why should we continue to book with Princess considering their sub standard support for their customers

Please make sure that when you click on the above link you also click on the embedded link for people going on cruises. Here is a direct link for cruisers starting, ending, and/or stopping in Canada https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise It is really a shame that Princess does not include on their web site ALL the information from the Canadian web site regarding cruising!

Thanks for the suggestion, but nope, you can't be sure. Both my wife's doctor and mine have advised us that your body can have viral shedding for up to 90-180 days after being diagnosed thus creating a false positive. Consequently neither a PCR nor antigen test is going to be an absolute accurate measurement of current infection. This is specifically why Canada (but unfortunately not Princess) allows for this by not requiring either test to board a cruise ship provided you can prove you had Covid up to 180 days previous. https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise Thanks

Doesn't Canada allow you to enter if you had a Positive Test within the last 180 days if you are now asymptomatic? https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/cruise "All travellers 5 years of age or older must have a COVID-19 test to board a cruise ship in Canada or to board a cruise ship that will dock in Canada at any point on the cruise. You must provide proof of one of the following accepted types of test results:... ...Previous positive molecular test result: you no longer have symptoms and provide proof of a positive molecular test taken at least 10 calendar days and no more than 180 calendar days before you board. Counting starts the day after your test." Or does Princess choose to not take advantage of that portion of the Canadian laws regarding cruise ships?? Anyone have some experience with this section of Canadian law on a Princess Cruise?

Was this with Princess and in addition to the ArrivCan app? Thanks,
