Roel on the Star (I think he is a concierge now on another ship)

 

Jomar on the Star Feb. 2017

 

Both are fantastic!

Anyone recently have Jonathan as their butler?

Don't ask .It isn't the right thing to do.

We are cruising in late October early November and received Royal Up email in early September.

So, did you enjoy your cruise?

 

After day three of seven,yes.

loved daily church service,huge library,and private island with a cabana.

Our room was deep cleaned and I stayed away from public bathrooms.

Several years ago we cruised HAL in a suite.I still have slight ptsd!!!!!

We went to large cafeteria type food area on boarding ship.I needed rest room so I went into one off food area.When finished,I found that the lock was broken and I could not get out.My husband came looking for me and accessed my problem.He went back to food area where he was given a knife to pry open the door.

We then went to our suite which smelled of urine.Our suite was across from the concierge lounge where we were told that the staff rotated to concierge position and had no solution.And our luggage was lost for an entire day we found on another deck.

When home again,I filled out a questionnaire from HAL ;never heard a word back from them.Never again HAL for us.

How terrible for you and your family.If it wasn't so tragic,it is almost slapstick comedy.Let us hope the rest of 2022 is so much better for you and your family.

Thank you Miss Jamie for your caring and reporting back to us

I would call NCL and ask the cruise specialist who answer.

My guess would be that you are covered.Fingers crossed

not sure if cvs test will please Bermuda.My next step is printing what Bermuda wants and bringing to CVS and Quest lab.

sounds good to me ;however ,my head is spinning with time frame of testing and paperwork for Bermuda!My biggest fear /nightmare is testing positive on the ship and quarantined in a tiny cabin in the belly of the ship near the medical center!!!Dear God please not that!

CVS does the PCR test in Connecticut where we live.I think it is the "brain swab"

Also on the Breakaway to Bermuda and hoping you may know the answer to this - I know we need to get the PCR test regardless, but do you know if we need to get the authorization form if we choose not to get off the ship? Just curious.  Which week are you going? We are sailing October 10th

I emailed to an address for health on Bermuda Health site and was told that as long as you do not get off ship in Bermuda,no paper work or testing need be done".However,you must comply with cruise lines mandates"This took place about ten days ago and may have changed!!!

I’ve seen it mentioned/suggested  that you should not laminate your vaccine card as any boosters cannot be added to it.   
 

I went on Amazon and bought holders that you insert the card into, it then zip locks.   

we got same Amazon holders and put vaccination card in it and it fits into passport perfectly.we also read not to laminate the card

I cancelled my 10/17 trip because of this. For me, 4 days before I board a ship I should be happily anticipating, not worrying about test results coming back on time for me to upload and further wait for an OK acceptance within 24 hours from Bermuda. And pay $75 for the privilege. Nope.

something to think about seriously

Oh you are right!We hoped to miss all this testing in Bermuda by staying on the ship but rereading their Bermuda cruise ship paperwork,to sail to Bermuda must be pretested,papers and fees filed before leaving home port.Oh my!

I agree with all above comments.Just hate not knowing what is going to happen and I better get over feeling this way.I really just want to cruise!

I just read and printed new "rules"to enter Bermuda.I understand it is a small island and they want to keep their citizens safe but oh my.

Go to Bermuda goverment page and read.To enter Bermuda a long covid test must be taken four days before entry to the island.Also a very long form filled out and $75.00 sent to Bermuda with proof of negative Covid test,filled out health form and the money.Wonder when

NCL will notify it's cruisers?

No to September 11;however I would not take cabin with 666 in the number!!!!!

To each his/her own fears or feelings.

We just switched a cruise this past week.Called our NCL travel assistant and she did the entire transfer in a few minutes!!!! Easy peasey!

On our way to Rhode Island now.Lovely state with lovely people. Thank you 

It seems a life time ago that I posted about not wanting to wear a"tracelet"Many jumped to the conclusion that I feared being watched.Not so,I just hated the whole manditory bracelet idea.Well,we voted with our feet and cancelled our Sept.cruise and are sailing on Oceania in2022.No more RCCL for us  until the Covid problem is in everyones" rear mirrors"I mean when we can sail freely without worries.Happy and safe sailing to all !!!
 

Our favorite restaurant on NCL ships is LE BISTRO and we love their Dover Sole and mushroom soup.Culinary dreamimg!!!!!

Dover sole at Le Bistro on the Dawn was so delicious!

thank yoy
