The date on this is a week old.  Is it still active?  My quick search didn't come up with anything later, but it was quick.

Look at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/mexico-travel-advisory.html#Sinaloa state    State of Sinaloa is noted as Do Not Travel. 

Hate to disagree but at least according to the US State Department, the entire state is listed as Do Not Travel.  Hope the authorities get everything under control soon.

I truly appreciate the time you're taking from your vacation to share with us. Great post!

Congrats

Charla - love your review thus far.....super style of writing and it give all of us an opportunity to get to know you well. Enjoy and smooth sailing!- 

We're in a Celebrity Suite in August and largely because of the vagaries of Alaska weather and the additional space, I'd go for the upgrade, assuming the upgrade cost isn't prohibitedly expensive.  Good luck!

So sorry for your loss.

All good ideas -many thanks!

We are in a Celebrity Suite traveling with friends who are in Aqua class. Can we invite them to dine with us in Luminae even if at added cost?

Sorry if this is a dup - couldn't find answer in search.

Thanks

Thanks so much for taking the time to review both. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the review  - well done!

We're booked on the same cruise as well as 4/11/21 sailing on the Edge - making the decision tomorrow as final payment is looming. Leaning towards Lifting & Shifting to 2022.

We've got 4/4/21 and 4/11/21 B2B on the Edge, and we've been struggling with what to do. I appreciate the thought of lifting & shifting to 2022.

Any pictures?

Thanks for posting - it was nice to imagine getting back cruising.

Really nice to see - thanks!

Just looked at Blue Star's web site -no updates since April-2019 tells the story. Another Titanic sinks......

Ginnyfyr - that's great to hear. Thanks for the update.

Two keys to avoiding altitude sickness  is to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol.

We're booked on the Summit to Canada/Greenland/Iceland/Ireland in August - a reservation booked Dec-2018.....since then the price has more than doubled. Our lesson learned.....book early 

Looking at this subject with regard to Chase Sapphire Reserve, I found the following on ThePointsGuy.com:

Various Chase credit cards offer trip cancellation and interruption protection, including the Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Sapphire Preferred. To get coverage on these cards, you must charge all or a portion of the trip to your credit card account and/or the rewards program associated with the account.

The trip cancellation and trip interruption benefit provided by both cards may provide reimbursement for eligible travel expenses charged to the cardholder’s account up to $10,000 per covered person and up to $20,000 per trip if a loss results in cancellation or interruption of the travel arrangements. The benefit provided by both cards explicitly covers “quarantine of you or your traveling companion imposed by a physician or by a competent governmental authority having jurisdiction, due to health reasons” but explicitly excludes “your disinclination to travel due to an epidemic or pandemic.”

So, you won’t be covered by Chase credit cards if you decide not to travel because of an epidemic or pandemic.

For what it's worth.....

We've had a lot of luck using Tours By Locals - they will customize a tour to fit your interests and your physical ability.  We've used them in Berlin, Munich, Quebec City and more. Highly recommended.  

You guys are awesome - your review is a perfect 10!

Love your pics and comments...we're heading there in August.
