If you are from the US it seems most health insurance will pay for it and they will just give you 4 tests that you can do yourself when it's the right time. I think people doing this will take a picture of negative covid test along with their passport or other ID and something like a newspaper that shows the date or something like that. We bringing our extras with us so if we want to check, we will be able to easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played the AFL (Australian Football League) Final for the Aussies. I think if you ask the CD they will try to accommodate any major sports. I hope they show some of the baseball games.

I have been book shopping like crazy to have plentiful books on my phone, lol. I am an avid reader and I always have to have something to read before I go to sleep. Otherwise, my bags are packed and I'm ready! We download a bunch from the library. You're only supposed to have them 3 weeks and then they expire and are removed from your Kindle but if you get everything on your Kindle that you want and then turn Wi-Fi off on your Kindle they will stay there until you turn it back on. 🤫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, i had to cancel this cruise:( for some unforseen circumstances Im going to try again in 2025 if they are doing more transpacifics. Soooo wished i was going!

Get your RAT test before you leave. My insurance pays for 4 tests per month but that might be going away. On my iPhone, swiping up on the picture shows the date and time. People who are already on the ship have said that they haven’t even really been checking for the picture. For NCL they also wanted a picture of the batch number.

wastewateral Posted April 7, 2023 #414 Share Posted April 7, 2023 We have been unable to check in for some time now. They say it's a system wide problem. Since you said you checked in, I tried again and still no go. I guess we will have to wait until we reach the port? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ames77 Posted April 8, 2023 #419 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I just tried using a different browser and it didn't work. I have spoken with Carnival many times and they all reply that there is an internal error and check in might be available by April 11th, otherwise to check in at the pier.
