The pre-travel test may be inconvenient, but its a way to mitigate travel risk prior the air or car ride to the port. I would take the pre-travel test on embarkation (- 4 days) to mitigate the chance I'm not traveling with it and then get surprised during the embarkation process. Understand the embarkation day test. This won''t be a permanent situation, but if you're wanting to get back soonest, you'll have to partake the the extra diligence. Fill the squares, cooperate and graduate and these things will pass.

You're right. Need a sanitizing protocol for the ducks before they're brought on board ?

I would certainly give the new protocols a shot.

Has Key West opened up yet?

This was already published, but here it is again.

I wasn't connecting to restart, but the migration of the 2.0 to the Celebrity app. As this is the first cruise window that's opened for us (that the app actually connects), it was cool to see the link to the muster video. The video was in Chinese which was entertaining.

Maybe the fact it's phasing out is a signal we may see things spin up later in the year. Just a guess.

That would be a great gesture. Allows those who aren't ready for more public dining settings a way to mitigate concerns.

This showed up on my Celebrity APP today

I remember not being able to dock (wind) in Vancouver and just sitting in the bay for half a day before heading back to Seattle on the backend of an Alaskan cruise. Weather cancel is clearly ok (safety), I think some financial levers foster some creativity if this border riff goes on too long. US has just extended its border exclusion on its side. Its a back-n-forth at this time. We'll see what happens next season.

This appeared on my Celebrity APP today for my Nov 22 cruise. Perhaps the introduction of Muster 2.0?

Apex left the ship yard on route to Southhampton. Will rotate to FLL in October. There still may be a lighter 2020 season on Celebrity. Was told Apex and Edge are the priority ships for Celebrity restart in US.

I believe if the border stays closed too far into 2021 , the USG will grant exceptions for passenger ships to travel to AK from US ports. Would guess the lines would lobby for it. Exceptions have been granted in the past.

It was a family cruise (Liberty of the Seas) with my grandson (4). He loved escargot - had it every night. He also loved waving the napkins at the final dinner in the MDR when all the staff starts their parade.

Or you could be asked to augment the medical staff ?

Just on my Oasis cruise and no deal.

Excellent question. Same situation in June and from Europe. I expect the full Monty and maybe one of the cruises being denied.

Actually free here too at drive through sites, but not necessary rapid.

At least there are options. Will need to check our airport (DFW).

Had the same question. Most places do not provide results within that window - some can. The faster tests tend to go to the symptomatic cases.

Its what was expected. Looked over some of the CDC survey inputs and they look very close to those also.

Cayman is off the table, but there are other accessible ports to fill the square.

Thanks for posting!
