I pay very close attention to the pre-existing conditions issue as well. I suggest that you check with Steve at tripinsurancestore.com . This may vary by state, but when I use the link on his website to request a quote, one of the options that it gives me is CSA Freestyle, which covers pre-existing conditions as long as you pay within 24 hours of final payment.

We did the eMed tests on my phone in June (sequentially so we could help each other, which was needed), and also heart the test notes but not the eMed reps each time. They quickly went to using Chat which slowed things down but at least it worked.

Thank you for sharing your first impressions. Please ignore those who like to pick on newbies, I am sure they are in the minority, especially once on board the ship.

Having just booked my very first cruise on Silversea, I would like to thank everyone for their comments on this thread. I realize that dress codes tend to be "done to death," probably on all the forums. But some of us are new here and a current thread is much easier to find than digging through the archives.

Our boarding time in Vancouver wad originally 4, and changed to 2:20. We arrived at ~12, and there were no lines. We had numerous stations spaced out with lots of walking between. So it took a while, but no waiting.

I can't answer for Regent, but the Walgreens NAAT test just worked perfectly for us to board Seabourn Odyssey in Vancouver yesterday.

We boarded Odyssey yesterday, and I am posting this from the ship, at least if you see it I will have. We had booked a window cabin on Deck 4, and discovered at check-in they had moved us to a balcony cabin on Deck 5. That was a relief, even though I finally had to go on a scavenger hunt myself to find our luggage on Deck 4. Deck 4 is an isolation/quarantine area, complete with red warning signs, PPE, etc.

Sometimes if the internet connection goes out for technical but non-nefarious reasons, you will get the message "This website is not available." Perhaps there is a benign explanation.

We board tomorrow for the same. I would prefer to have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised than vice versa. This board has certainly adjusted my expectations downward. This will be our first time on Seabourn, so future bookings hang in the balance.
