Just had our tests done with Lifecenters.  Great service and very prompt with the results.

We were told that our FCC would be reinstated and extended to May 22, 2023.

We are using the Kits received for free from the BC Gov. (Health Canada Aprov.) and hope to be booking with MedioneRx. At $25.00 ea. for our May Alaska cruise out of Vancouver. But will need to wait for Princess Canada guide to come out to see if the will recognize our test kits.

Thank you for this.  Just booked appointments for May.  Easy cancellation without prepayment if not needed by then.

Are you asking in terms of entry into the US?  It is not approved (yet) in the USA because it's US phase 3 clinical study results have not been fully submitted to the FDA for emergency review in the same way as Pfizer, Moderna and J&J.  AZ states that they are progressing in doing so.  The worldwide clinical studies and post-approval data in countries such as the UK show effectiveness.  And the US is shipping excess AZ vaccine to Canada, Mexico and now India.  So I would think it to be rather strange if you are vaccinated with it in Canada but are not considered vaccinated in the US.  Now if you were vaccinated with one of the less effective vaccines from China then that might be a whole different story for entry into the US.

Yes and thank you

Quick question from a Canadian who will be vaccinated with the AZ vaccine...  As this vaccine is not approved in the US, will it be recognized by the US?  Or will I still be considered as not vaccinated.  Just thinking out loud.

Our September Alaska cruise dropped by over $400 yesterday.  Price drop was honoured and perks remained the same.

Thank you everyone! Please keep the suggestions coming.

We get our travel insurance through Costco Travel. Depending on what the pre-existing condition is and how long it has been stable, the cost is not too bad. You must, however be truthful when answering the questionaire. We always call and go through the questions with the agent. DH has a stable condition, so for us it is quite easy and not too expensive. Hope this helps.

Lockers are available to rent at Dunns River Falls. Can't remember the price but do remember they were inexpensive.

Not certain if the image will actually show up - this is the relaxation room. I have rarely seen it any busier than this!!!

As a suite passenger, I believe you are entitled to access on one "port" day...

Did a back-to-back on the Reflection back in March and found that we preferred Blu to Luminae for breakfast. Seems to be a little more "laid back" and a better selection (at least for me) on yhebmenu. Dinner - it was out "go-to" place if the Luminae menu did not appeal... Mac

We stayed in this cabin last month and found it very noisy early in the morning. I would avoid unless you can sleep with ear plugs. Beautiful cabin with great view, just very noisy.

In addition to the heli-pad sail away out of Miami, we also had a special lunch put on. We did the sail-away but not the lunch... Mac

Nothing better than a relaxing breakfast on your balcony...

I agree!!! I'd look at cancelling my excursions and rebooking them using OBC... Mac

Back-to-back cruisers on the March 26th sailing of the Reflection were invited to the heli-deck for sail-away out of Miami. In addition, we were invited for sail-away out of St. Thomas later that week but decided not to join in. We were in an Aqua class cabin the first week and a suite the second.

Deck - 12

Cabin # - 2212

Class – S2

Starboard or Port Side - Aft

Bed near?(balcony or bath) – bath

Quiet Cabin (With comments on problems. Note if connecting. ) – very noisy! Banging for a few minutes every day around 4:00AM. Then again around 6:30AM from the scraping of chairs and tables above being set up for the morning. This noise was present most of the day.

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Great

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - normal

Was wind a problem? No

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? No

Any specific problems with this cabin? Noisy

Any other comments? I would avoid due to noise above.

We had the daily flavoured tea last week on Reflection. I enjoyed them...

On the Reflection, it's being referred to as a "pop-up" restaurant. Looks like it's still being assessed...

You will only have to declare the alcohol that you are bringing back to Canada once you go through Canadian customs.

Bccolaman, may we email you too?

On our Reflection cruise in late November we "traded up" to something we could enjoy. We were given a credit of $34.00 plus applicable gratuities towards a wine of our choice in Blu. No problems or issues at all.
