This is why you should have travel insurance that includes COVID coverage AND be your own gatekeeper with a "just in case" plan.

I think in today's environment, we should all expect that Covid will be lurking around us somewhere. Per the statement from our current President, the pandemic is over. If you have taken all the precautions, then there really isn't anything more that you can control. When it isn't COVID while cruising, the NORO virus will be popping up. Do the best that you can and enjoy each day.

Amazing pictures. Thank you for sharing.

No price adjustment after final payment....I just went through this scenario. However, you may get an upgrade but in my case the upgrade was not in a good location. No OBC was offered but if you have a TA, they could probably try that option.

Yep, go right to the top. This has worked for me with another cruise line. I also mentioned that I worked for a Fortune 500 company as assistant to the CEO where no complaint (no matter how small) did not go without attention from that office!

I believe it is a Canadian government rule.

Did you find your guide "in town" or at the Port?

Monochromatic color scheme. Everything has to be worn at least twice. Layering for "iffy" weather. If I don't have something, I just buy it wherever we are....

You can also test positive for up to 90 days. Just curious, how can you know "barely positive"....

AND, it doesn't matter if you have had COVID before, vaccinated and boosted, you can still get it again.

Quarantine time is dictated by the countries.

I would hope that people would be honest and report it and it makes you wonder if that is what is going on now....people not wanting to ruin their vacation but don't care about others!

All I'm saying is they may not have up-to-date info that has been published. I've worked in that environment.

Remember a majority of the agents are home based and may or may not have received the latest updates. Keep checking.

Patches are controversial due to possible side effects. In some people they can cause/promote psychotic episodes. I only know this from a recent accounting from a family member. When the husband called Medical as his wife was acting erratically, he was asked if she had the patch, to remove it immediately and then wash the area with soap and water for a period of time. That fixed the problem.

Half Moon is really the beach. Aruba tour around the island, same with Curacao. Haven't been to Bonaire. You might want to check out YouTube for some ideas....ParoDeeJay (cruise news) has some interesting reports on some of the Ports you are asking about. Hope this helps.

Looks yummy! How much did they charge?? I'm hearing lobster is very expensive these days.

Good to know. Are longer voyages considered 14 days or more?

I just checked CO and was told it was $25 per person per day.

Interesting. Maybe I'll give it a try! Thanks.

Are the cabins all guarantee cabins? And, if so, can you purchase Club Orange and be able to select a cabin?

I think you can pay for an upgrade. Call HAL or your HAL contact.

Just a quick note. We attended the Tattoo a couple of years ago and would love to go again. We joined (online) Friends of the Tattoo (it was around $35 to join) and were able to purchase tickets online before they went on sale to the general public.

Emailed my request on Monday and received OBC confirmation via email on Wednesday.

I don't think Canada will allow it. It is my understanding they are still enforcing 10 day quarantine.
