Did Carnival book you now just to London or do you have your whole journey booked through to your final destination?

According to a german forum there is probably 1 tug heading to the Pride from Kiel. Sound like a larger issue.

Our transit visas came the night before the first port in Saudi-Arabia.

Hi, no, not to the date. We bought the „regular“ tourist visa now for about 130 Dollar to make sure we will be able to get off there. We heard from guests that travelled this cruise in early December that the transit visas will be issued the night before the arrival in Jeddah. On the sea day between Aqaba and Jeddah there were crowds occupying the shore excursion desk trying to fix the excursions and check the status. People reported that many guests bought internet aboard to check the status of their visa application. As said we did not want to be in that state of limbo and applied for the tourist visa which was issued right away.

Can you tell who the captain of the Diamond is?

Thank you. Which phone number did you enter for the Tourist visa and what address? The number 00966920011114 which MSC provided was considered invalid. Did you use visa.visitsaudi.com?

Does anyone has successfully obtained the Transit Visa sea on visa.mofa.gov.sa and if yes, how long did it take from application to approval? Have entered our applications almost two weeks ago and paid everything but the status remains unchanged as „under process“… Getting closer to our departure date and starting to worry a bit.

Thank you for a wonderful report. May I ask who was the captain of the vessel during your cruises?
