Thank you.

I don’t think we will agree here & board rules preclude debating the issue.  Happy cruising!

I am so torn. Like @Vancity Cruiser I am so excited for a mask free cruise but that darn need for a negative return test to Canada is hanging over my head. 

So looking forward to a maskless cruise! Unfortunately, being from Canada I wasn’t able to cruise at the beginning of the restart when they were maskless. So my 3 cruises so far all included wearing masks which wasn’t the end of the world for me but I am excited to go maskless! 63 days to go

Royal and Celebrity have opted in. 

You're so lucky in Ontario - they don't offer this in BC... and they run $110 here for an antigen test.   It's literal robbery.

Thanks for the confirmation.   It confirms that both of my nieces were allowed to fly home (Testing negative with RT-PCR tests) 

Liberty is allowing passengers to follow the revised mask mandate today.

I’ve been on Symphony since Saturday and they  already have not been enforcing masks in any of the vaccinated areas since day one.  So far the casino has still been nice and smoke free though.
 

FEBRUARY 18 - 6:00AM EST - Wonder is in the Atlantic Ocean, 2 days away from her ETA in Fort Lauderdale

OH.....I thought you were going to give it a whirl - Same price - just not worth thinking about it.  Shoppers provides all the paperwork needed for flight and cruise - good plan.

wallmart $19.95. Shoppers $40

That doesn't seem right.  There's no large scale requirement of boosters anywhere in the USA and especially Florida.

Good morning!  Our response time at MEI-Travel is usually same day or within 24 hours at the very latest.  We have found that some spam filters grab some of our quotes, so please be sure to check in case the quote took a left turn in cyberspace.  In the meantime, please  email me directly - [email protected] - with your contact info and I will be sure you get a follow up today.  

Thanks for posting so we have the ability to diagnose the issue and have a great day! 

I never used the form since I think my MEI TA was assigned to me when I did a blog group cruise.
Pinging @Beci @Sharla @michelle @Jacki_MEI since I know they frequent these boards. 

Thanks for the replies!
I checked the roll call, and don't think I saw one yet. I'll keep searching. I'll also check out Facebook - it's one platform I didn't quite check yet. I feel like once I do, Facebook will curate some nicely targeted ads at convincing me to book another cruise 😅 
While I'm generally outgoing and wouldn't mind meeting other parents/kids, I'm also ok with having daddy-daughter quality time without other kids/parents too.
Adventure Ocean booking can only be done once on the ship?
Oh and kiddo is vaccinated, so one less thing to be concerned with!

Probably will use VOOM and do it the night before we disembark. If I did not have VOOM, I probably would not bother with the Switch Health option. 

sorry

Did you all hear that? It was the sound of @Lovetocruise2002 slamming her credit card down to book more cruises

Just purchased our deluxe drink package with the money we will be saving from our PCR tests….🙌🏼

DONE!!!   End of the month no m ore PCR tests needed.  Insert happy dance here

Border restrictions easing AND the Ambassador bridge reopens in the same week - sounds like Christmas in February for  @Lovetocruise2002

Looks like border announcement is today at 1pm

I would never touch a PCR test unless it was an absolute requirement to. 

This is a place for reasonable discussion of cruise ship news and rumors. Not a place to discuss your personal thoughts on Covid, vaccines, masks, and/or politics.
It's a simple rule because the moment it veers in that other direction, it just devolves into name calling, personal attacks, and divisive chatter.
We try to give a little leeway since inevitably there's some blurred lines when talking about cruise ship protocols, but if it goes too far, that's the end of it.
There's plenty of places to discuss Covid on the internet, but this isn't one of them.
