I am looking at the Dec 12 from Panama City on Jewel. I am trying to decide if I should do a 1 or 2 day deviation for the air on the outbound into Panama City. I Want to get in as early as possible, but I cannot depart any earlier than 7:30 pm on Dec 9 from Chicago. Could I do a 2-day deviation or would that be too risky?

Has anyone been on Jewel recently? do you know if the cigar lounge was open and being used? Please let me know when you sailed and any details (size amenities features availability—if it was crowded)

Thanks all--one more question: HAL's website says I must test within 3 days of embarking. I am embarking in Amsterdam on June 5, so I take it that time differences don't matter, and I can get my test at any time on June 2 and it will suffice. Is that your experience?

Has anyone actually used an ID NOW covid test, which is one of the three tests available at Walgreen's, to meet HAL requirements? I want to know if it was accepted and if there was any hassle.

Has anyone used a online travel agency specializing in cruises that: —offered them cash back —required them to send in their final cruise statement (bill furnished to them on the last day of the cruise or whenever) to get the cash back what were your experiences like? Was it easy? A hassle? Did you ever get it?
