I wouldn't bet on that. I think crew acquisition and vaccination is the delay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted June 3, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I need Navigator to get the test cruise so we can go on our last cruise on her out of Miami in Sept. Then she goes to the West Coast and we won't go on her again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uniqeni Posted June 3, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) What about the port in Tampa? I'm scheduled on Brilliance Mid- September. No word on Tampa or Brilliance. Do the tests in the 3 ports scheduled now open up sailing in others without do the tests from each port individually? I was hoping to see Brilliance on the ship test list next.

No. Every ship that sails under the CSO needs to do its own test cruises or meet the 95% pax/98% crew vaccination standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to see Brilliance on the ship test list next. I would be worried about any port but Port Canaveral, Miami, Galveston and port Everglades. They are the only ports that have been listed that have Port agreements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the cruise lines need that shore agreement with the port on the 0% chance there's a massive outbreak on a cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I saw this morning had a chart similar to the above but said Indy was doing test cruises out of Everglades, but in their narrative said Galveston. Bayley's FB is focusing on crew stories...which are great and all..as a good crew is a great thing to have, but c'mon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess Oh interesting! I am pretty new to this but am scheduled on Navigator this summer. If they were to switch ships how to they handle the room assignments? Is it done automatically by room class and/or sailing status or would we get to choose our new room? Thanks!

Just a guess I got an email in my TA email this afternoon saying all Navigator will be moved to Freedom. So our Sept Navigator will be moved to Freedom. I am TOTALLY okay with that!
