Regarding testing, both my husband and I have had tests.  I needed a negative test pre-colonoscopy and he had one before a scheduled trip.   Both were simple, painless nasal swabs.  Not the back of the brain swab I was so nervous about.  My test was a three day response and his was same day.   He called the nurse practitioner in town and she wrote him a Rx that he took to our local hospital.   Easy, quick, email results.   And we live in rural Alabama in a town of 3500.  
so I don’t foresee getting a test pre Barbados to be an issue other than added stress.  
We went ahead and booked an additional week onto our November 2020 trip this morning.   I’ll be the guinea pig and report back in December!

We are confused with differing answers to the assurance program as well.   I submitted the question on the survey after the meeting.   Seems to me they would not penalize repeat customers.   We didn’t ask for refunds on 2 canceled trips, March 2020 and September 2020. Instead we let them keep our money and made bookings for November 2020 and March 2021 with the previous payments and are now paid in full for both.  I don’t plan to cancel, but I hope if a problem arose, they would let us use the money for a future booking.

I have Caribbean bookings in November 2020 and March 2021 that are paid in full and I am very much looking forward to these trips.

Questions

is it possible to have testing onboard to ensure we can go into ports, and most importantly, get home at the end?   I know the places we are to embark and disembark are still under COVID shutdowns.

will we have to have a negative test within 3 days to board like we do to enter San Juan at this time?  For some of us, it takes more time than that to travel with an overnight between home and final destination and another overnight before embarking on the yacht.  

the photos from Norway have been beautiful and I hope you will consider a summer there again in the future.   That is much more appealing to my husband and me than the Mediterranean.

  I look forward to attending the webinar Thursday.   Thanks!
