But the refund won’t be immediate. What if finances don’t allow for that.

But imagine if everyone thought they would do what you want to do, where would they sit? They have to limit it to a set number of cabins otherwise it defeats the purpose.

What’s a panoramic suite?

Exactly this. It is encouraging dishonesty. Also I’m not sure insurance would pay out if you were a close contact of someone 10 days ago. However you would still be denied boarding.

I just read it and for the uk it seems it is now all to be claimed on travel insurance and no mention of fcc.

If you’re in a suite do you need to book the speciality before boarding or can you do it on board?

Do you have any updates about this?

A lady posted on fb that there were two couples sailing on Solstice and while one couple parked their rental vehicle the other couple passed both couples luggage to one porter. One couple got their luggage, the other didn’t.

A thread on fb implies this offer is only for new bookings. Would be interested to know your experience

Great. I remember a few years ago we met on board and your straighteners broke so I know that was quite important to you! If there’s anything else i can help with let me know. X

We are on board. Embarkation could have been better. We had 12.15 check in. We arrived a bit earlier and no one was checking times. They allowed everyone inside to be seated until check in was open at 12 rather than making everyone stand outside. The cafe was open. however the captain was really strict about ship not boarding till 1pm which was surprising as it wasn’t like they had to wait for guests to disembark first. Had priority boarding but was a bit of a free for all once ship got clearance. I’m sure this could be better managed. once onboard all the ships chefs and officers were there to welcome us onboard which was a nice touch. we were sent to a set of lifts based on our cabin but when we exited them the fire doors were shut and we had a bit of a route March to our cabin. Apparently the doors were shut due to isolation cabins. It was a shame the fly past didn’t happen due to weather but they still made an effort with the band and flags so that was nice in the rain. no Internet cafe computers as broken which was slightly irritating due to work commitments but they are working on that.

That’s my biggest fear. Did you see it go down the conveyor belt thing? I’m on board if you want to borrow hair straighteners or anything let me know. I have a spare American pair

When you complete the health declaration on the app 24 hours before and you tick that you have tested positive you will automatically be denied boarding and there is a list of numbers to call but it was painful trying to speak to someone and it is only the sales people you get through to, not a special number. however as you have been denied boarding on the app they will not be expecting you at the port. as homedepot posted above you need to send your positive test via email to get the refund. It happened to us on 26 April and still waiting for refund.

The phones are extra busy because of the new sale and everyone trying to reprice. Maybe leave it a couple of days if you can

It’s not only alcohol that’s included. It’s fizzy and still bottled water, speciality coffees and herbal teas. I can drink a few san pellegrino’s a day plus still water with lunch and dinner. also having been used to all inclusive cruising it is nice to have the cost part done and dusted.
