I changed my bid a while go to a lower amount, and got an email about that, but. now on the MoveUp when I check it the older higher bid is there and I can't change it or cancel it, although it's still pending. Looks like I'm locked in but am not going to be too disappointed as it's not a huge difference. The lockup tells me that possibly they are close to accepting it. My other bid shows expired. I'm thinking that now that they are offering guaranty balcony and concierge cabins at lower price than my ocean view, if they don't fill those then they'll happily take more money from me to put me somewhere in that category.

Just disembarked Vancouver BC from a Celebrity cruise May 13th. Celebrity offered antigen tests, free for those who had booked prior to a certain Nov 2021 date, otherwise $30. BUT they didn't pass out the tests until after we had left the ship with our luggage, so essentially we were not ON the cruise at time of testing, presumably thus bypassing the Canada requirement that the cruise line pay for quarantine if one tested positive during the cruise. Some passengers brought along tests so they could check themselves on last day of the cruise and if positive their plan was to report to the medical officer to trigger the Canada rule. Don't know if anyone actually followed through on this plan.

So to finish the story, no further showing of our ArriveCAN QR required. We just got off and back on with Seapass alone, not even picture ID. By the way, the shuttle to Govery & Yates was $13 US $15 CAN round trip. They actually did a roundabout route both ways with tour commentary. Was as good as many “city” tours with shuttles running both ways wuite often.

ArriveCAN clearance QR Code was required at checkin or you could not board. Help apparently was available to get it done but can’t confirm that as I had already done it the day before. My plan was to do it on Monday to assure that I was within 72 hours of both boarding Tuesday and Victoria port visit on Thursday. But looks like the latter would not have been a concern. You have to enter a boarding date that is within a given 72 hour window to continue on the app. But then the window for port visit stop is quite a lot longer. Might be different for disembarking in Canada. We get a chance to get off at Victoria this afternoon. Am betting it’s all been done electronically such that they won’t be checking again when we do. Will let you know.
