Wow I really love that meal but my wife is lukewarm on wine. Maybe I’ll tell if she finds me a apricot soufflé I won’t drag her to the meal  Thanks again for your fun report. 

I can’t believe they are having problems! LOL

I believe it is the AMEX lounge at the airport that they are referring to....

Correct

Please give us your thoughts about the Centurion Lounge. Thanks for your report we really appreciate it. 

I think I am going to follow. You two seem like trouble to me!

Thanks for your time doing this. 

I think you will be fine. We are planning on it.

Yes unfortunately that long time thread was removed and the member running it was banned from Celebrity ships.  Long story.  

Ok you can’t leave us hanging. Time to fill us in.

I have been on the phone with both companies today and it is what we plan to do when we arrive for our cruises. 

We have done it with Uber and was a piece of cake. The car rental idea is a good one also.

Very interesting. Yesterday I did an online chat with Nomi and was told outbound passengers only. And if you try to fill out the online booking form, the Origin Airport automatically defaults to MIA (or FLL if on that page) and won't allow you to change it. Here's a link to the booking form for MIA:

https://testing.nomihealth.com/easy_registration/100/signup

 

Please note that in addition to defaulting to MIA as the origin airport, the booking form also states:

 

I authorize Nomi Health Inc. (“Nomi Health”) to disclose my COVID-19 laboratory test results to the airline I plan on boarding at the time of my test, including the airline’s employees, agents or contractors.

 

The purpose of this authorization is to inform the airline of my COVID-19 laboratory test result so the airline may determine whether to allow me to board my flight.

 

You say that you called both companies, but Nomi Health is a single company that provides testing at both airports. There are other companies in close proximity to MIA and FLL, so maybe you have phoned a couple of them? For example, there is the "Center for COVID Care - Miami Airport" located about a mile from the entrance to the airport. That could easily be confused as a testing facility at the airport.  In your OP, you ask about "testing facilities at the Miami airport", but perhaps you meant in the vicinity of the airport, not actually at the airport.

Just did an online chat with Nomi. Was told YES. As long as you are departing or ARRIVING from Miami you are good to go. 
 

When you think about it they are testing individuals and are in the business of testing individuals for COVID.

We  want to be tested before getting on the flight to Florida.  If we wait until we get to Florida then. test positive  we couldn’t, in good conscience get on a plane to fly home.

Good point

Called both companies that do testing at Miami and they both said that they do either inbound or outbound customers. Thanks for your reply

Has anyone used any of the testing facilities at the Miami airport prior to your cruise. We are thinking that might simplify the testing to provide to the cruiseline. Will be cruising in November. Thanks

Also in San Pedro is Crowne Plaza

Thanks for your time. Looking forward to more. 

Thank you or your report  Looking forward to our Summit cruises in November

Following 

Miami airport scares me off an early flight  We have never had good luck there. Thinking about that there was one time it wasn’t busy. We were the first flight in after hurricane Irma lol it was a ghost town!

On the November 18 and the 22 cruise changed both of them.No biggie to us. 

The delay is they are busy upgrading all of you to suites!

I think they are busy moving you to the Penthouse Suite !

Thanks for the review. Looking forward to our b2b in November

Or people who booked before the AI promotion that raised booking prices substantially.

God bless the USA lol

Been elite for 12 years and have never been able to use the upgrade. That’s why we sail multiple lines. No one has a Loyalty program that interests us.
