It’s the fancy trash chute for The Haven. I made the final payment for the transatlantic earlier this week. Yeah!

You can walk to the LAXit lot. The shuttle goes counterclockwise so it'll take less time to walk from Terminals 1 & 2 than to ride the shuttle loop.

I don't recall any sugar-free desserts in the specialty restaurants except for the cheese plate at Le Bistro. The MDR has desserts with no added sugar, but I don't think they're strictly SF. Ditto for the buffet - they have NSA options but I don't recall seeing anything strictly SF. The NSA desserts I've tried have been pretty decent, including the chocolate ice cream.

Really? It looked like people were filling out regular forms. Those who hadn't completed ArriveCAN beforehand were directed to one side so they could take care of it. [one quick Google later] Ah, so there is a paper version of the form but its use is limited to very specific situations. Ignoring multiple emails from your cruise line isn't listed as one of them, oddly enough. So I guess those people were grumbling while typing away on their smartphones. I wonder what happened to those who didn't complete the form ahead of time (or bring proof) and don't have smartphones?

Nope, you'd be doing it the old-fashioned way: paper form and a pen.

Finalize your ArriveCAN form anytime within 72 hours of embarkation. Print the receipt as backup but they’ll accept the confirmation on the app as well. If you forget to do it, you will be directed to complete the form in the terminal after security/before proceeding to check-in.

I’m a hardcore introvert. IMO, cruising can be an excellent choice for introverts. I enjoy some human interaction but also need places to recharge since being around others can be draining. My last cruise was on Bliss to Alaska. Sometimes I watched the scenery from The Waterfront and chatted with others nearby. Sometimes I went all the way aft to watch the scenery mostly alone. It’s so easy to dip in and out of the social atmosphere!
