  1. By waiting the price may go up more than the minimal OBC that you will get
  2. I guess try a walk in clinic. Since it has to be done by a Dr I am not sure that you will find an on line option since they would be be having to state that you are symptom free without examining or seeing you in person.
  3. You need to look at that statement in conjunction with the rest of the paragraph. It won't be wide open but it appears that they will start allowing some unvaccinated on board Based on this change, we are continuing to adapt our protocols to align more closely with how the rest of society and other travel and leisure businesses are operating. This means that we're transitioning to the point where everyone will be able to vacation with us while always working with our destination partners to meet their regulations.
  4. Yes it does not keep it off the ship but there is no denying that it does keep some of it off. There were at least 20 people just on our roll call that tested positive pre cruise and didn't get to sail 2 weeks ago, and that is from a small group of people posting
  5. I was just going to post the exact same thing. If you have never been to Rome before seeing it on a one day stop does not even come close to scratching the surface. I would much prefer to spend pre or post cruise time in Rome.
  6. Did you apply FCC's from a previously cancelled cruise. Cancellation penalties from those carry over however they should be reissued as FCC's
  7. I'm sure that clearer details will be released shortly. Just high level statements on these types of calls
  8. Better to take it out through the slot machine.
  9. Add me to the list that will be boarding as you depart. It is odd at how they treated each of these cruises so differently with regards to itinerary modifications after St. Petersburg was pulled. With ours no overnights were added and they added 3 ports. We actually lost a sea day. They added Arhus, Denmark; Klaipeda, Lithuania and Gdansk, Poland to our itinerary
  10. Here is the relevant paragraph. Looks like they are implying that unvaccinated guests will be able to sail. "Last week, the CDC ended its COVID-19 Program for Cruise Ships. Based on this change, we are continuing to adapt our protocols to align more closely with how the rest of society and other travel and leisure businesses are operating. This means that we're transitioning to the point where everyone will be able to vacation with us while always working with our destination partners to meet their regulations. Starting Aug. 8, testing will be required for unvaccinated guests on all voyages and for vaccinated guests only on voyages that are six nights or longer. "
  11. Funny how you get singled out like that. We have Nexus and never been questioned except this past March flying to and from Florida. My son got singled out both times at the airport. The only time we have ever been pulled into secondary was crossing in Windsor at the tunnel for the first time but that was entirely our fault and not random checking. We were there just before they closed and there was no one in the Nexus lane. we were proceeding through slowly not quite sure where we were to stop and we looked up and saw a glass window and someone waving us through.....hmmm that's odd, we don't even have to stop anymore, must be a new system. We carried on our way and then about 20 minutes later we get a call from US customs asking if we had just passed through the border. We had to turn around and go back. They were waiting for us. I must say the supervisor we dealt with was awesome. I'm sure he could tell we were more than a little nervous at this point and once I walked him through what happened he kind of laughed about it and saw how it could happen. They still had to do a thorough search of our car and run a detailed check on us as they had protocols to follow but in the end they let us pass and our trip south was only an hour and a half behind schedule. Because there was no one else ahead of us we had no reference of where to stop. The actual booth you are to stop at was set back slightly and not totally visible if you are looking straight ahead. What is very visible is the Port Authority office which is where we thought we saw someone waving us through. The supervisor said in his 10 years he had never seen that happen but when I walked through it with him he totally got how we were confused.
  12. Only ever crossed at Windsor a couple times. It's our back up plan if the weather does not look good on the I77/I79 route. Bridge a couple times and the tunnel once, very quick
  13. Yep, definitely the Peace Bridge. It was only twice that we ran into really bad traffic. Once it was just me driving south nearly 20 years ago and it was backed up to the duty free on the Canadian side. Poor planning on my part, I timed my drive to coincide with the Leafs playing in Buffalo that night. Can't remember what the other time was but it was a while ago as well. I now have the app and check out the wait times at all the crossings.
  14. Not sure what would happen. It is random testing. They provide you a kit and you have to d it with a proctored company by 11:59pm the day following your arrival...you'll be long gone.
  15. I know, just frustrating for those of us North of the border. Definitely agree that most of the rest of the world seems to be making progress dealing with this but Zippy seems to follow the 2 steps forward one step back rule.
  16. The worst pat at Buffalo is sitting on the bridge in line with everyone until you can make your way clear to the dedicated Nexus lane.
  17. Except for the idiots in Ottawa who resumed Random testing after not having it for a month.
