Husband got his two days after mine, his wording is updated, so yes, mine and most likely a few others were done before Bermuda updated form. So all is well. After I got mine with “old” wording I emailed them and they immediately responded saying NO TESTING for vaccinated. So all is well - yikes!

Applied for our TAs October 4 - received mine October 12 and husbands today October 14 - cruising Sunday October 23.

Applied for our TAs October 4 - received mine October 12 and husbands today October 14 - yeah!

I did email “Bermuda” last eve asking about the TA form I received, got response this morning saying “testing not required” but they did not address the form that does not have accurate working for our October 25 arrival. But feel relieved. Such craziness.

I do not know why MSC asks for cc information during the checkin process, it has never been necessary, it has never carried over to ship’s system. You always need to go to kiosk, and that is a simple process.

A “conniption” - what an interesting word! The Travel Authorization that I, and others, have received still refers to necessity of testing. So I was questioning whether or not we simply assume it is wording that has not been updated yet.

We are arriving October 25 so not necessary. In other posts it appears others are getting the same “wording.”

Not sure what to do now. Got Travel Authorization from Bermuda and it still talks about testing being necessary. Do you think we can assume it is “old” wording?

So on Bermuda’s website they say no testing necessary - on Carnivals website they now say no testing necessary - just got Travel Authorization back from Bermuda and it says “testing necessary” - can I presume Bermuda has simply not updated their form yet?

Megan, you’re Platinum now, don’t forget to use the “laundry” perk!

Not a stupid question - have cruised MSC several times - have to search for it every time - not an easy spot.

Love the Paradise, an older ship, out of Tampa, has Aris made a decision?

Oh yes - vaccinated do not need to test, buffet may not be entirely open but choices are plentiful, no masks required unless you choose, servers still wear masks and are anxiously waiting when they are free of them - were on Divina two weeks ago.

Bella - you choose your type of cabin and will be assigned one Bella - you cannot choose early or late dining time (but we have never been denied a different choice once on board) Bella - no complimentary room service Fantastica - you choose type of cabin and cabin number Fantastica - you can choose dining time Fantastica - room service available for breakfast (Aurea is only level that gives you “anytime” dining and has other spa-type perks) (Yacht Club - their own little ship within the larger ship, people seem to love it, we jave never experienced it a cost is considerably higher)

If you booked Fantastica experience you get one free change, so no fee for change, call and talk to agent.

Looks like Larissa to me, she was on a B2B we did on the Freedom this Spring, delightful.

Just off Divina two weeks ago, new Dinner menu, now offering “daily favorites” which include a delicious salmon and decent steak, along with various other choices, so our evening meal had many choices and was always excellent. Everyone seemed to enjoy the large shrimp from the appetizer section as well as the french onion soup. For the first time on MSC we had lobster on elegant night also.

We cruise between MSC and Carnival. Both different experiences. Haven’t cruised Royal for many years. MSC - have never cruised yacht club and have had wonderful experiences on MSC. Have cruised interior as well as balcony. Room Steward still does cabins twice a day. Just back from Divina (on during Ian) and food great, dining room now offers “daily choices” every night which include salmon (delicious) and steak (equally as good). Also for first time had lobster on elegant night on MSC. Buffet also excellent. Service throughout the ship is great. Various music in the different venues. No problems and/or complaints from us.

Were on a 4 night, different every night.

Yesterday, October 10, Carnival updated website re Bermuda travel, whew!

This evening, letter from Carnival, no testing for vaccinated, whew!

Carnival, waiting for update.

Megan, I “hope” you have the most out of everyone, you deserve it!

Does anyone know the email format for MSC? Is it possible to contact an Officer to offer appreciation and thanks?

How do we get Carnival folks to wake up? Supervisor I talked to “saw” the contradictions but all she could tell me is that “whoever” updates Carnival’s website hasn’t done so yet. We arrive in Bermuda October 25, you also?
