wwwfla Posted December 16, 2021 #27 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Two weeks ago we had the best meals and service at Ocean Blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritevacation Posted December 16, 2021 #28 Share Posted December 16, 2021 We have been on Celebrity, post covid, and it was wonderful! How is it with NCL? I’m a little concerned to hear that cast members are in quarantine for covid. Celebrity captain made daily announcements announcing that all crew have tested negative and their are no passenger cases to report, total transparency. I liked that! I believe, both lines have 100% vaccinated and pre tested. We sail on ncl 12/26…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted December 18, 2021 Author #30 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Cruise continues to be exceptional in most regards. Had an excellent dinner last night in Cagneys. Steaks cooked to perfection (Mom had Ribeye I had the Porterhouse). Service continues to be great throughout the ship. The Local has become our go-to for breakfast and lunch. Food has been hot, fresh and flavorful. we went to the new Taino Bay port yesterday in Puerta Plata. Nice facility but only about 1/2 complete. Beautiful pool area and lovely set up with shops etc. when 100% it stands to be a real winner. Town center an easy walk from port and seems very safe. Sad today is the last of the cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted December 19, 2021 #34 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Thanks for your review..we were suppose to be on that cancelled Nov.14th Encore cruise that got stuck at the Panama Canal , and we re- booked for Jan.9th..glad Puerto Plata finally open , even though not 100% complete.....was St. Thomas open ? I hear many stores are still closed...masks now required announced 2 days ago by NCL..pretty disappointing, but we'll manage...

We were able to go ashore as we wished. No restrictions. This is itinerary specific and NCL does have a list of ports where tours are required on their website. Things can and do change with little notice and NCL keep the information as up to date as they can. https://www.ncl.com/travel-requirements-by-country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeyalchemist Posted December 21, 2021 #38 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thanks for sharing some good information. We're (6 of us) sailing on Jan 9 sailing and this helps get us excited to be almost packing... Does anyone know how far in advance Eurofins email arrives to create testing account? Who was the cruise director btw? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
