We upgraded a month or so ago when they were offering 4 times the points. It only cost us an extra $112, which we had in leftover cruise credits.

Yellow is positively worse than orange. Like I said, seems counter intuitive to me, but what do I know? Here's the description from the CDC

 

 

https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/cruise/cruise-ship-color-status.html

Who put out the graph of ship images posted in this thread? That graph shows increasing green, yellow, orange, red.

Very strange.

What is going on with NCL? MSC restarted on 8 months ago in Europe and allowed unvaccinated, there have only been a handful of cases.

 

NCL restart in the US with what should be much stricter requirements and this happens.

 

There has to be a reason, are people not following protocols?

The Delta variant is much more transmissible and wasn't around months ago.

It's hard to tell. Yellow is worse than orange (which seems counter-intuitive to me). Best I can understand, neither color absolutely confirms covid onboard. It could be a CLI. However; based on reports of hazmat suits on deck 10, I would be bet it's actual covid. It is impossible to keep this virus off ships.

Yellow is worse than orange? That seems to go against the descriptions, where yellow is CDC investigating and orange is CDC monitoring. Seems like monitoring would be worse than investigating?

I scanned my original and then laminated the scanned copy for travel.  Once the boosters come out, I'll have my original to be updated by the clinic/pharmacy/doctor then rescan it and laminate that copy.  Rinse and repeat as necessary.

But scanning a card with a watermark would invalidate it, wouldn't it? I mean, a watermark is used to prove an item isn't a copy.

You need to go online and get one that has the watermark. The watermark one is the official vaccination receipt, not the one they sent you via email. Link: https://covid19.ontariohealth.ca/

Thank you so much!!!!

Hopefully, 162 days until the Gem.

They want the actual card.  I read on another site you can try to get another card from the place you got your original vaccine.  It was in response to someone that lost their card.  Maybe they can fix your issue.  I got mine in February too.

I'm in Ontario Canada, and they don't give out cards. We got nothing for the 1st vaccine and a paper print out like the tape from a cash register for the second one, but they did send us PDFs to our emails showing both vaccines. Hope that won't cause problems.

Thank you, both!

We did finally find a place in My NCL where it listed the 60 day final payment date, though we are already paid.

I was just reading a thread where a poster stated a few days ago that they thought NCL had extended their 60 day cancellation policy through 3/31/2022. Has anyone else seen such a change? I'm asking because our January cruise requires full payment at 120 days and must purchase NCL travel insurance by that time.

We'd like to be able to hold off purchasing the travel insurance until 60 days out if possible, so we would be adding even more money to Face if we or the cruise cancelled for some reason.

I think any people connected to 9/11 will be plenty busy trying to survive covid, right now.

You are correct.  Those are not the same menus that I posted earlier.  The copies I have are from my TA who is currently on Encore, and they are definitely different than the one’s currently on NCL’s website.

That's incorrect, they are currently offered on the NCL website. I pulled these links from My NCL, today. They are offered to me for my January 2022 Gem cruise.

These appear to be the 'old' menus.  Dates at bottom are from 2019 and 2020.  

These links come from the My NCL menus listed for my January 2022 Gem cruise, so it would be NCL's error.

My BIL was a top manager for Allstate. He says if your condition is stable you're okay when it comes to pre-existing conditions. You don't want to change medications within 2 months of sailing though, or you'll be considered unstable, he says. But best to confirm with your insurance company.

If you're wanting diet cherry Pepsi a good substitute would be diet Pepsi and a teaspoon of grenadine. Only 18 calories.

Click the COVID box on the main NCL webpage. Go to the FAQs. NCL says it will be re-evaluating its 'no children too young to be vaccinated' policy in November. 

I'll caution you, that doesn't necessarily mean younger children will be allowed after that time, it just means they'll be looking at the policy in November.

When I cruised a few years ago the MDRs always had one sugar free dessert each evening.

Things are going pretty good in our area of southern Ontario. In the entire county we have only 5 positives. We're at Step 3 out of 3 Steps, which is everything open but with maximum capacities. We could go to full open on Aug 6th but I don't think we will as some areas are seeing an increase of positives, so we're going to need more time to see what will happen with the COVID Delta variant increasing in the province. But we're feeling much more comfortable now that we're vaccinated.

Are you allowed to smile in your selfie photo?

Not re-evaluating for now. Our newly booked cruise isn't until the end of January, and we expect requirements to shift several times between now and then. Money isn't a problem for us as our cruise is paid for with FCC from our last 3 cruises that got cancelled.

We have no problems with masks. We've been using them for a year and a half and they now help us feel more secure when we are indoors with people we don't know.

I find this to be very specific:

 

Proof must be in the form of the original vaccination record document issued by either the country's health authority that administered the vaccination or the guest's medical provider that completed the vaccine administration

 

 

That's a bit of a probably minor issue for Canada where the certificates are issued by provinces, not the country or the provider.

I see a lot of Caribbean islands are requiring COVID testing even for vaccinated travellers. Has anyone seen or heard how NCL plans to handle this? Are there exceptions for cruise ship passengers? Will cruise passengers have to take and pay for tests while on the ship, which could be quite the unexpected expense?

Are there lockers near Margaritaville? There seem to be lots of people when they're open so might need a place to store backpacks.

Anyone going to convert their FCC back into cash?

Is this a personal message in your My NCL email? I can't get to this site.

Okay, I found it. It's here: https://www.ncl.com/ca/en/suspended-sailings

Scroll down the page and look under the second FAQ question about refund requests.
