We've just received an email from Silversea (for our embarkation on Moon on the 6th) saying that Fusina terminal will be open for embarkation "contrary to the original procedure at the Marittima Cruise Terminal, from which a 25-minute bus journey was required to embark the ship in Fusina".

Not this one

We discussed this with the on-board cruise consultant on our last cruise. My understanding is that this is not possible. Seabourn corporate won't even begin to check your eligibility until you have completed your 140/250 days. They will check your most frequently booked category to enable a decision on which suite category your complimentary 7/14 days cruise should be. Even while you are on the cruise on which you reach the required number of days, they won't let you book the "free" one as they won't have done the checking. Sorry!

...and after Silversea thanked them for their understanding! Such ungrateful passengers!

Venetian society this evening? Outstanding! Could you livestream it?

I hadn't seen any notification about this change but thought I'd check, as I was about to book our pre-boarding tests. https://www.silversea.com/lp-silversea-hrts-consumer-10.html "To embark on a Silversea vessel, all guests aged 12 and older must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least two weeks before embarking on the vessel. Guests must bring proof of vaccination or boarding will be denied." "Guests embarking on a Silversea vessel who are fully vaccinated or up-to-date are no longer required to present a negative PCR or Antigen test." The guidance gives a link https://www.chile.travel/en/traveltochileplan/ to the Chilean government travel site which was updated on 30 September "At the time of embarking to Chile, the person must comply with the following: Certificate of vaccination issued in the country where he/she was vaccinated. If the traveler does not have the vaccination schedule for their country, they must show a negative result in a PCR test within a maximum of 48 hours from departure. Those who are under 18 years of age do not have any requirements to enter Chile." and in the FAQs, the website clarifies "Do I need a mobility pass to travel within Chile? According to current regulations, you only need a Mobility Pass to enter Rapa Nui." Obviously no-one should accept advice from some random guy on the internet so check it yourselves, folks! Johnny
