Ashland

RCI will provide a ship shuttle into town...at least they did when Helsinki was a port stop for us.

Thanks so much..So we'll need to do two ArriveCan. One for DH and I and one for DS and his spouse including 8 & 5 years olds all of us are US citizens with valid passports. As far as arriving cruise day we had no choice but to take the earliest non-stop flight from LAX-YVR arriving at 11:40am with a sailout at 5:00pm. No wacky itinerary with RCI Serenade...Sitka, Juneau & Ketchikan. Now I'm concerned about one of us being selected for a random test...just how would we manage that scenario...Oh My At that point could that person do a test at Canada Place before boarding?

This is good advice regardless of what ship or itinerary you sail.

Thank you so much. We are just doing the roundtrip 7 nights out of Vancouver and back. Then let me understand, I'll do the ArriveCan on Friday or Saturday for our sail on Sunday for my extended family (DH, myself and DS and his family as I have all the necessary info on my desktop at home and scan/print out the QR Code). Can I do one for us all or must I do two? I'll then do this again on my laptop end of cruise (so we have to enter Canadian waters or is it also 72 hours prior to our arrival back into Vancouver? We arrive and depart on our flight day of and day end of cruise. With much appreciation.

What is the next schedule to be released by RCI?

In addition to needing to fill it out before we fly into Vancouver for our round trip itinerary out of Vancouver, will we need to fill it out again before we arrive back into port for our same day flight back to the US?

All cruise ships have to tender in Cabo.

We're an extended family...DH and myself and DS and his family. Can we all use the same ArriveCan and QR Code? I have everyone's complete info.

We were very excited for this particular itinerary....maybe a little too much. JMHO.

Then why have there been so many posts about putting them only in your carryon ??? And also a warning on the test box about temperature ??

Have cruised 5 times (RCI) since January...Just got home from our Arctic Circle last week and will be sailing again to Alaska in September and Panama Canal in October.

You put them in checked luggage ?? The temperature could have caused them to be compromised....You're very lucky !!!

We are just off Jewel Arctic Circle itinerary and it was very casual.

Hope it works out for you. We saw the connecting line when we arrived into Schiphol and it was also so long at one time these lines were getting entangled until airport staff had to separate them from arriving and departing on a connection. What a mess this was.

Our last 5 cruises so far this year they were in our cabin nightly....even our last weeks Arctic Circle on Jewel...didn't even have to ask.

C&A level means nothing !!

Flying into Schiphol was unexpectedly worse at least for us vs flying out. The (ONE) line to get out through immigration and claim our luggage and get out to a taxi took us over 3 hours. After landing as we walked towards the signs saying baggage claim we wondered what the long line we passed was for (almost 1/2 mile long)...then once we got to where we thought was luggage claim (silly us) we realized that we had to go back and get in that line. Once in it we saw many many people passing by us only to see them return to get in line. Their faces of disbelief was one that we probably had too. Best of luck !!!

No reduced deposits.

That depends on how many suite guests show up at any given time.

We didn't get this offer after returning from our late April cruise. So that's why I thought it was something new.

We just flew to Amsterdam from Los Angeles with our eMed tests in our carryon backpack. Only problem was making sure the boxes were/stayed intact ... bubble wrapped them to be on the safe side. No problem and easy to take the tests on our laptop at our hotel and having the hotel print out the hard copy for us. We did the same thing in April flying from Los Angeles to Orlando.

It can vary. So what someone else experienced really has no bearing on the time frame associated with your particular sailing. Best of luck getting a cabin that works for you.

Yes...the NextCruise program isn't new but getting the offer by email after returning home I thought was.

Just returned home from my cruise and received an email from RCI about a "Welcome Home" bonus. Up to $600 OBC depending on category/length of cruise booked within 30 days of disembarking and sailing by a certain date. Is this new ?
