LIVE! Virtuosa 27th May 2022 - 3 Night Northern Europe!
ScratchTheRat posted a topic in MSC Cruises,
I am Kas, I am from the UK, Cardiff in Wales specifically and I am in my 30's. I travel as much as I can on cruises and caught the bug in 2010 when I was taken on a cruise by my family. I thought I'd hate it and I couldn't imagine anything worse than being stuck on a boat, but boy was I wrong and I got hooked!
This will be my first cruise on MSC and I'm really looking forward to seeing how things go and what things I love/hate.

LauraS,LIVE - Mariner of the Seas - May 28, 2022 Covid testing on-board for Bermuda!
Rewind posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
We board Mariner this Saturday for an 8 night cruise to Nassau, CocoCay, and Bermuda. I think this is the only itinerary where Bermuda comes after the Bahamas so we will need to get a Covid test on the ship before getting into Bermuda.

LauraS,Discovery Princess – Alaska May 22 Occasionally Live From
5:00_Somewhere posted a topic in Princess Cruises,
One tip: there was no internet and no cell reception inside the port terminal, so we could not access the Medallion App, ArriveCan, the Novica app our email with our eMed covid test results. So, I strongly recommend doing what we did and either take a screenshot of or print out your Green Lane QR code, your Negative Covid Test Results and ArriveCan receipt with QR code. They were fine with screenshots from our phone.

LauraS,Odyssey to the Greek Isles - 7 to 16 May 2022
FionaMG posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
Covid tests yesterday morning at a pharmacy round the corner from our hotel. Cost was 20 euros each. The 10 minutes waiting to get the results back were horrible.
Boarding was a breeze. We had the first time slot and the cabins opened up not long after.
After a quick lunch in the windjammer we did the North Star and watched braver folks than us on the flow rider and ifly. The weather was not being terribly friendly.
We left Civitavecchia 3 hours late, something to do with an issue regarding clearance.
The MDR seemed very busy. We had my timing with a table booked for 8 pm but it seemed like they improvised rather than having a table allocated in advance. However our server was very attentive to our needs.
An interesting development on the menu is the appearance of a nightly pie and a curry dish. Those usually only show up on cruises with a large British contingent.
Wild mushroom soup
Two Maryland style crab cakes as my mains just because I like them even though I've been told they're nothing like the real thing.
Royal chocolate cake for dessert. One of my favourites. DH 's cheesecake and a shared scoop of vanilla ice cream in the background. 😋
The show in the theatre after dinner was a singer called Mike McLean. He had a decent crowd and gave an enjoyable show.
Tomorrow is Naples, from 8 am till 6 pm.
I'm just going to wind this post up by tagging a couple of folks who might be interested in following along.
My joint blog buddy from Navigator @Rogueperson because he always remembers to tag me for his live reviews.
And @BennyBrun because he's off to the Greek Isles in June and I might conceivably post something that would be of use to him.
I'm happy to try and answer questions if anyone has any.

LauraS,Wonder of the seas Mediterranean live blog! 22nd May - 29th May 2022. Come cruise with us!
Cruisingcouple22 posted a topic in Royal Caribbean International,
Hope everyone is doing well. I’m here to introduce you to my semi-live blog from aboard the newest of the newness, Wonder of the Seas! We are so excited to be going on this cruise. Much like a lot of people, we were originally booked on Allure (an already great ship in our opinion) but when we were moved to Wonder we were over the moon. We love a new ship and exploring all the new features. We are lucky enough to be booked in a one bedroom aqua theatre suite, thanks to a number of future cruise certificates gained during lockdown. We have a bid in on a two bedroom aqua theatre, hoping for that Genie, but know it is likely not to happen.

IslandHppy posted a topic in Carnival Cruise Lines,
I had to dig for my Carnival member number- we are dancers and like a promenade deck so phased out Carnival. But the price was too good and the timing worked.
I had two goals- be at sea and avoid catching any illnesses.

Pre Cruise
This was not ideal! We have sailed medallion class many times before the app and loved it. Sadly, the app has taken away much of the pre cruise excitement and replaced it with frustration! First off, my perfectly good iPhone 6 was not compatible with the app. At that time, there was no web version to use and I reluctantly upgraded my phone (much to my teens delight as she now has the brand new iPhone 12 which also didn’t work well with the app).

Hello new Carnival friends, ArcticKitty, a real Alaskan here. I love reading in-depth detailed to the nines trip reports, trip planning musings, live feeds, etc. The more the nitty gritty displayed the more I dig.
