Yeah, that’s what’s known in the underworld as a “workaround”.  You’re not actually entitled to something, but you figured how to get it anyway.  
 

Not knocking it, I’d do it myself.  But the only difference from pirating cable TV is that your neighbors knew about it.  

Please read my latest response to this topic.  All of these supposed know it alls have really ruined this place as a source for good information.

??????  It was Beaver1975 who was bragging. See Post #5

 

Not bragging, just stating a fact.  It happened three times in fact.  It was explained to me, by the Hotel Director and Concierge, that it is a general rule.

In a nutshell, only suite guests are entitled to suite benefits. Just because a family member is in a connecting non-suite does not afford you any extras. That being said you will likely be able to board and disembark together as a family.

I beg to differ. We have been in a connecting cabin with friends who were in a suite.  We were given full suite benefits as to access to the Haven.  The only thing we did not receive were the afternoon snacks. And that was resolved by our friends ordering what we wanted, or extras of what they were receiving, and calling us over when things arrived.

Does anyone have the particulars on NCL dropping vaccination requirements?

Good to know....I'm paranoid about losing the card!  

Heaven forbid you lose your "government papers".

Does NCL confirm that all CDC vaccination cards are authentic? There are literally millions of fake vaccination cards in circulation right now. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/12/22/6-of-us-adults-know-someone-with-a-fake-vaccine-card/?sh=6a36bd252dc0

 

I believe NCL will eventually accept medical exemptions (other lines already do), but at this time, the answer to the OP is no.

 

 

Don't confuse Ace with actual facts.  <grin>

Of course they are not. How can she prove that her doctor wrote it and that she didn't forge it? No Doctor due to doc/patient confidentialty will admit to writing that letter.

Can you possibly back your assertions with any facts?

I am Ambassador level and have never seen one of these pins.

I love NCL but they have become a ridiculously overpriced trainwreck since Covid. 

No, Since Del Rio took over!!!

What does it mean "Essential Drinks Included"?

Drop the vaccination requirements, or at least accept natural immunity.

As soon as they get rid of the vaccination requirements they will fill ships to capacity.

There are two of us.

You said a couple of cruises. Do you and your wife sail separately?

It is likely that I won't be able too use it at all, but if we can then we are looking at saving around £1,000 on a couple of cruises.

It is a one time only benefit.

After all these years of experiencing the Latitudes rewards program I am astounded that any of you expected something worthwhile in a supposed upgrade to the program. SMH!!

Some of the more paranoid folks might not like this, but I wish there was a nationally accepted electronic version (Excelsior pass is only NY state) that could be used for things like cruising instead of having to carry around that card.

 

Yes, we must get all our “papers” in electronic form to make it easier to present on demand. 

Does MSC require ships excursions to get off the ship in port? Or can we just wander around?

If an excursion is required does this include the private island?

What is the proper approach to getting answers about posts being deleted?

It was very nice of NCL to give us a 10% discount certificate for our canceled cruise since prices are up between 30% and 40%.

Please allow the children to cruise. Vote No on 100% vaccinations.

No, 

Not sure what kind of businesses you are referencing, but if they are not healthcare they aren't held to HIPAA laws. HIPAA relates to healthcare/insurance providers. They may use other laws to protect confidentiality, but it is not HIPAA.

 My sister was head of HR for a major restaurant food supplier and they were absolutely limited on what they could ask  employees, and applicants, about their health issues because of HIPAA laws.

Generally speaking, the first clue that someone is advocating a conspiracy theory is their denial of advocating a conspiracy theory.

But, who is calling it a conspiracy theory?

And once again as has been stated a thousand times... you're more than welcome to not show your private health records to anyone whom may ask, but they then have every right to not permit you to enter their premises, planes, cruise ships, etc.

...and state governments can revoke access to companies that discriminate based on circumventing our laws. It’s a two way street. 
 

It is so sad that so many of you are willing to give up your civil liberties because the government (and some businesses) deems it necessary based on “evolving” science on a disease that is more survivable than a typical flu outbreak. Don’t give me death tolls because there was no vaccine in the beginning as there is for the flu every year. 
 

Why are some states, and their schools, open for business and others are not? Look at the “leadership” and draw your own conclusions!!

I am done here. I won’t change you and you will definitely not change me. But, wake up to what is truly in play here. That is not conspiracy theory.

Only by healthcare entities. NCL doesn't qualify.

Incorrect. Human Resources of businesses are held to HIPAA laws also.

The who-pass only shows your vaccinations, no other health info.

That is still private information as it pertains to our HIPAA laws.
