Why don’t you do one (at-home) self test before you leave for the airport to make sure you’re ok to fly and then do the official one when you get to Vancouver? You’re probably using the same test brand for both. Since we’re going to Vancouver three days early (we love that city), that is what we’ll do. We’re also taking some with us on the cruise. Make sure you’ve gotten your Government free allocation or at drug store using your insurance.

We decided last night to upgrade to Indulge for our September (fully paid) cruise. The $300 OBC pp would be used for excursions so the other benefits will be free extras. Indulge would cost $336 pp. But, I didn’t try to do it until now (Thursday AM) so I’m probably too late. I’m on the phone with my TA who’s on a long hold with X trying to get it through for us. On the X site, our particular cruise has the same cabin prices as yesterday but no choices for always included etc. It goes right to trip insurance and then review and pay.

I believe this restriction is only for using the Indulge upgrade. Your TA OBC should be able to be used for anything you’d like. There might even be a way to cash it out if you don’t use it.

“ONBOARD” might be the operative word. Excursions are not onboard.

We were about to upgrade to the Indulge package for our Sept 16 Solstice cruise so we could use the $300 pp OBC for excursions until I read the VERY SMALL PRINT that says Aquaclass passengers can ONLY use the OBC for the spa. I did faux bookings for Inside through Concierge cabins and they are not restricted. This doesn’t seem fair.

We’ve booked AQ on our last 4-5 cruises due to Blu. We love the intimacy, the experience, the service.and the great food selection. On the last cruise that we were scheduled to be on, we upgraded to a Sky Suite so we could try Luminae, but that cruise was cancelled due to Covid (3/2020).
