carnival drink package does not work on their own islands like half moon cay

I never even bothered looking for a studio cabin. I cruise solo and just book a regular room.  I like the additional space...

next season for next year the Oasis will be doing a similar cruise stopping only at St John Canada

wayyyy too early. most things can not be done until you are like 45-90 days

We have been cruising every month since last August and ALWAYS have a printed copy of our documents. The folks checking us in have thanked us every time and we have breezed through to the ship while other were fumbling through their phones. Do not get me wrong, I have all the latest high tech devices and am a big techie for work BUT after poor WIFI at the terminal and swiping through multiple screens I discovered it was not me with the issue, it was the person checking us in. These folks were looking for the PRINTED COVID negative test result to highlight it with their marker and they just could not do that on my phone screen (snicker from the old days of "whiteout" on the computer screen). The next person that was checking us in was looking for that highlighted page and we had to start over and go over everything again since it was not printed out. Now we have it printed and organized and we almost do not stop walking during our check in from start to finish.

usually rooms is not available till 130/2pm
 
 

i am sailing on the Adventure next week out of Cape Liberty. there is no direct shuttle to the airport. the only transfer they offer is a Manhattan highlights tour that then takes you to the airport

5:30 seems too early and 8 too late. We did My Time in April and 6:30-7pm seemed perfect to us.

We bought these passport holders on Amazon  with a clear window for our Vax cards.  We then print our SetSail Pass and our Covid test results…Fold them into the passport holders.  It’s super quick and easy to show the required stuff to anyone who wants to see them…And it seems everyone and their brother wants to see them.
 

here in NYC,  our public bus and subways require masks

hopefully next year the my time dinning goes back to a regular time. i hate that is starts at 6:45

I'm always back at least an hour prior to sail away, at a minimum.

It doesn't bother me. I only had people show up on 1 night out of 4. If I didn't enjoy my table mates I would just go eat elsewhere. The MDR food isn't worth then awkwardness for me 😂

You can use any covid test you get from government and get it proctored using this service: https://rapidtestandtrace.com/product/observed-test-for-travel/

from what i noticed on a different cruise line, when Bermuda is during the middle of the cruise the cruise ship will do covid testing onboard the ship. They will usually tell you to go to xyz lounge or dinning room on a specific date for testing. then they will the forward the results to the Bermuda government.
 
you still need to precruise covid test as part of the Bermuda travel authorization process

on the first night there is no time limit. the gangway is open all night. just be back before the all onboard time on the 2nd day

There is this same argument with Bermuda and their Travel Authorization process which is similar to Canada Arrivecan. For Bermuda cruises, everyone has to fill out a application even if you dont get off the ship. Canada might have similar requirements requiring everyone submitting this
 
 

on the royal website:
ArriveCAN: All travelers to Canada, or their legal guardians, must download the ArriveCAN app or complete the mandatory travel information via the ArriveCAN website prior to your entry into Canada. This applies whether you are departing on your cruise from Canada, ending your cruise in Canada, or visiting the country as a port of call. We are working with the Canadian government to make this process easier for guests arriving by cruise ship, and will ensure guests have guidance to complete this process smoothly onboard.
 
it appears everyone needs to fill it out because the ship will be in canada waters
