Ikr!? We were flying in to arrive around 8:40, but then our flight got changed! It's so frustrating.

How does everyone get to the cruise port from the Orlando International aiport? I've called MSC and their transfer would pick us up at the airport at 12pm; however, our flight doesn't arrive until 11:04 (that is being very optimistic with delays and finding our way to the pickup point in time). The last shuttle or shared transportation with Cruise Control are also between 11:30 and 12pm. Cortrans does not have any availability. Our cruise leaves on 31 Aug at 6pm and returns on 3 Sep. Are there any other sites besides Cruise Control, GoPort, and Cortrans that anyone has used? Should we just take an Uber or Taxi?

#52 - thank you
Rant#2:
I still don't understand why the cruise line wants a negative test result and your COVID vaccination record and Bermuda wants the SAME EXACT documents! Logic tells me that if I need those documents to board the ship and go to Bermuda, I should NOT need the same documents before I get to the ship or before I arrive on the ship in Bermuda. It's mentally exhausting!
I've spent more time on the cruise critic and trip advisor forums, on emails, and on the phone trying to get simple answers about the confusion of the COVID test type terminology (and various names) between Celebrity, Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, and Bermuda. Why in the heck can I not schedule an appointment today (4 June) for a test that I know I will need taken on 17 June to satisfy Celebrity's requirements for a negative test result leaving on 19 June? The appointments for Walgreens are only showing as available through 10 June. Walmart's appointments have to be made through Quest Diagnostics, but it is unclear whether it is a supervised test. When I called, I was told that I would have to contact the same person that I thought I was calling about questions! CVS is just totally mixed up and I get caught up in a loop for trying to schedule.

Rant...
If we are not required to upload the negative test results but show it to board the ship, then I don't understand why they can't approve the form now instead of waiting until I have to travel to the port (via booked airline). It's just the red tape of it all that frustrates me. I simply have submitted the application with "pending" approval.
1. Submit the application to Bermuda within x days of embarkation (make the $40 payment). Receive the approval, promptly (not within 24 hours of cruising).
2. Get a negative COVID test 2 days prior to embarkation and present it at embarkation/boarding.
3. Arrive in Bermuda. Enjoy your vacation!
It would also be easier, if the cruise line would test everyone before boarding the ship. I still cannot schedule a test until next Friday. I don't like last minute tasks.

I'll have to remember that in the future. Thank you! It might get changed again before August. 😄
