cccole Posted January 29, 2022 #377 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I also thank you for the fabulous photos and descriptions. The snorkeling was great. Do you take your own snorkel equipment? Yalapa looks incredible, I just googled lodging there. Thank you so much for taking us on this cruise. Cherie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bring our own mask, snorkel, and inflatable vest. Photos are taken with a simple GoPro Hero 7 Black and post processed on my iPhone SE. Yelapa is the correct spelling.

dmcfad2 Posted January 30, 2022 #388 Share Posted January 30, 2022 @BtimmerI haven’t read this entire thread, but wondered if there have been a lot of positive Covid cases on board during your trip that you are aware of? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Btimmer Posted January 30, 2022 Author #390 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We're officially done and waiting for immigration which is being done in the Main Dining Room on deck 3 and not in the terminal. There's SWA jet landing and the maritime museum below it with the Star of India sailing ship & more. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the immigration inspectors are made quite comfortable in the main dining room. It was a very efficient way to do it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted January 30, 2022 #393 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Thank you for all of your insights. Please let me know how long it takes to get through immigration and to the airport. We have a 12:30 flight on the27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know how long it takes to get through immigration and to the airport. We have a 12:30 flight on the27th. Immigration was a breeze. 2 minutes max. We used the HAL transfer bus scheduled for 10am; departed at 10:30. Getting an early departure and a cab would be best for you. The airport is 10 minutes away from the port. You can see it from the ship. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted January 30, 2022 #395 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Had a bad experience with a Hal transfer once and have done ride shares since. What do you see as an advantage of the HAL transfer bus? Can it be booked while in the ship? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested positive yesterday and was moved to the 4th floor. This morning I was transferred to a local hotel to spend my 5 isolation days. I asked Guest Relations how many were going with me, and she said I was the only one. All the others (no number given) had completed their quarantine and were allowed to disembark as normal passengers. Ship has been wonderful in taking care of everything so far. Now that I'm in the hotel, we'll see what kind of service I receive. Diana 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this time we had shipboard credits that needed to be used. Yes, we booked it on the ship a few days ago. If we had a tight connection here in SD, I'd definitely take a cab. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
