Routes You can catch the metro to the nearest metro station however you have then got a walk to the cruiseship. We took a taxi from hotel next to Central station to the port, it was about 280dkk. Taxis are metered, no uber in Copenhagen.

all NCL have done is lift their restrictions on unvaxed cruising so they are now in line with other cruiselines who have allowed this since the restart. Admittedly there is no mention of % of unvaxed guests allowed however this may be determined by the rules issued by ports of call. Its a step in the right direction, problem is for some of those who for whatever reason decided not to get vaccinated the step isnt big enough or quick enough.

Best hotel closest to Pan American Pier Puerto Rico?
Ray replied to Censored's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Isla Verde to pier was $11 in an Uber. Courtyard by Marriot right on the beach. Its a little further away than other areas mentioned but really nice. -
As mentioned above the rules In Europe are different as a timescale is involved for those that have received vaccine. To be considered as fully vaccinated your 2nd dose cannot be more than 270 days old, if it is you are considered as unvaccinated. For these people the only way to be considered as fully vaccinated is to get the booster.

Finally someone says it! All of the negative posts about the change this is the real reason! People were happy enough to accept the rules when making booking but now because they miss out by a day or 2 its not fare on them! Lets say it was 8 days and above would all those posting negative comments actually care about changes? Don't think the would because its not their cruise! These changes even though small are finally a step in the right direction and should be welcomed.

Carnival changes testing to up to 3 days
Ray replied to TheRick's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Thing is 2 days ago before regulations were changed you were still in the same situation as when you booked cruise regarding possible financial implications if someone tests positive. -

Not sure about in US but over this side of the pond All verifly app does is allow you to check in so you can pick your seat! Thats it!!! At airport you will still need to show all documentation. I saved myself the hassle and just checked in at Airport, think BA must have binned verifly as last couple of flights no mention of it.

Not sure where you come from as rules may differ by country so here's the link for spanish website https://www.spth.gob.es/ Side note for any UK citizens planning to head to Barcelona for a cruise, not sure if its been fully implemented yet but Spanish government are pushing forward with plans to ensure brits have a minimum of £85 per day for the duration of your stay. A friend got finances checked on entry to Ibiza last week.

On our Baltic Cruise we asked for extra envelopes so we could give them directly to those who we felt deserved a bit extra on top of the prepaid. -

Requesting Tips on top of Gratuities
Ray replied to Traveling Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Envelope left on cabin bed along with statement showing any onboard spending. Personally i don't see it as a big deal! If you want to give extra you put it in the envelope if you don't you just ignore it. -
I think what the Og poster is trying to say are that the weeks leading up to the cruise are stressful because you start to think more about the tests and the "what if's" What if someone tests positive before cruise? What if someone tests positive onboard? So what og poster is hoping for is that RC drop policy so people can look forward to cruise without the added stress and extra costs Having cruised i can say i felt exaclty the same
