Happy Anniversary to you both!  Enjoy the cruise and I love your video's. 

Yippie @harryfat1 is back, I really enjoyed your past reviews and looking forward to this one .  Add me to the list of printing set sail pass, airline boarding pass and any other type of pass.  You never know when you won't be able to access these on your phone. 

Are you able to upgrade from an interior to a balcony and pay the difference?

tote bag

Does the large tote have a zipper?

Oh, what excursion was that? That's perfect (and I think I picked one that would do that, if it's a possibility)

Island of Santorini and Village of Oia was the name of the tour 

The excursion we took last week, we took the bus up and back down. We did not have to take the cable car or walk down. 

A little bit off topic but hoping someone can help.

We fly from Orlando Fl. to Toronto and get a connecting flight to Greece. It's my understanding that I do not have to complete the ArriveCan form as we are not staying in Canada.  However it also says that is the process for Toronto Terminal  1,  I have no idea what terminal we will be in?  Our cruise departs from Greece not Canada. 

Thanks

I'm not familiar with these ports and need to know how to plan.  Are there things to do close (walkable) or is a tour recommended?  If you've been to either can you share you're experiences. 

Thanks

We rented a golf cart as well, it was a lot of fun driving around the island. They provide you with a map and go over it with you. 

I carry on a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi in a small roller bag on all cruises, never had any issues.

We did a B2B on Mariner in May, they had us park in the side lot next to the covered parking. They took our payment near the exit where you drop the luggage.  We only paid for 1 week, I was worried we'd be booted upon returning but we were not. Funny thing is we stuck out like a sore thumb with our Expedition and only 3 cars left in the lot. 

Is this process required if I just have a layover at the airport in Canada?

January 2023, I purchased these tests a few months ago.

We were on Mariner doing a B2B boarded 5/07/22, I tested today and no Covid.  On the ship for 16 nights, very lucky I guess.

It was actually worth all the hassle!  Bermuda was wonderful and we are so glad we went!

 

Hope you and Bucky have a great time on Harmony!  😀

I agree it was a beautiful stop, one that we’ll do again. Didn’t find it a hassle or frustrating, just took a little time out of our day. 

We’re on an 8 night now and we had 2.

I just saw on Fb group that Cap Tobias has reinstated a mask mandate indoors on Mariner for remainder of the cruise, can you confirm? 

Not  mandated,  still optional but recommended indoors.

I’m on Mariner doing a B2B started on May 7. I can’t believe that people are packing themselves in elevators, no common sense !  One lady rolls in with her scooter and tells her 7 friends, come on in there plenty of room, as the wheel from her scooter is on my husbands foot. Not to mention there were already a few people in there.  
 

On a positive note, Bermuda was beautiful, perfect weather! 

We’re currently in cabin 8618 on Mariner, first cabin to the right off the elevator. No noise issues at all. 

We used the Binaxnow tests proctored with Emed, it's easy and convenient. 

We used it last month, was safe and secure. 

Another vote for shrimp cocktail, beef carpaccio and mushroom soup.

you should have no issues linking them, I would call back and ask.  Since they were both booked with Royal should not be an issue.  No travel agent right?

Correct no travel agent.

I booked a cruise while on board at the Next Cruise desk.  When I returned home I decided to make it a B2B and booked on-line.   Today I called Royal to link these 2 reservations and was told they can't do it because of how it was booked. Not sure what my next steps are, I can call back to see if I get the same answer or wait until we board and let Guest Services know.  Anyone else run into this issue or have any recommendations?

Thanks

Also Carnival. 
 

Me?  I like Coke better. But I’ll drink what we have in the house. That’s why I’m sitting here, reading Cruise Critic and drinking Pepsi. 
 

Yes, I’ll drink pop at 8:45 on a Sunday morning. I don’t like coffee. 

Another Pepsi (diet) drinker in the morning, my caffeine of choice. I’m not a coffee drinker.
