greenline627 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Posted June 3, 2022 Well just got a call from Royal saying because of impending weather we are not going to Bermuda but to Canada instead. I did not think Canada was taking cruise ships yet. Wonder what happens with the 80.00 dollars we paid to Bermuda to enter the Country. Oh well will be on a cruise ship for the first time since 2018 so roll with the punches. KristiZ, WAAAYTOOO and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 1 Quote

D Alt Posted June 3, 2022 Report Posted June 3, 2022 oh that stinks. please let us know what happened. Apparently there is a weather disturbance off the coast of Bermuda with 10% chance of formation in 48 hours. Also something more powerful off coast of Mexico too. Quote
She Sails Away Posted June 3, 2022 Report Posted June 3, 2022 That’s quite a switch! Please keep us updated on your travels. I hope you have a great cruise with the changed itinerary. Quote

We were on an Alaska cruise with a stop in Victoria, B.C., Canada about 2 weeks ago (May 19th). We didn't get off the ship but we were told that some venues my require masking but not out in open-air. RCIfan1912 1 Quote
Pattycruise Posted June 4, 2022 Report Posted June 4, 2022 On Adventure now, we were only a 4 day-one stop-Halifax. we did the arriveCAN app, no one asked for it there will be a customs declaration form for Canada in your cabin -complete it and turn it in to Guest Services some shops on land may require a mask so bring one with you staff in MDR was amazing (despite being understaffed).dedicated staff snd entertainment. The ice show was AMAZING. (Wear a sweater) Canada was a tad chilly except if in the sun. We saw a whale from the dining room window tonight, others have reported seeing whales and dolphins. Amazingly calm waters. casino players report tight machines. No casino host table, they are locked in room adjacent to the casino cashier. no masks required in Bayonne or Halifax terminals, PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote

Marlena Posted June 4, 2022 Report Posted June 4, 2022 Are you offered the right to get a refund when such a major itinerary change happens? Quote

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted June 4, 2022 Report Posted June 4, 2022 Only one I know of is the Adventure leaving from Cape Liberty today (June 4). I would think the ships leaving from Florida ports may just sit tight and wait til the storm passes today? Quote

BrianB Posted June 4, 2022 Report Posted June 4, 2022 Bermuda health states the $40 fee per person is non-refundable. So no recourse there. Unless Royal decides to step up and give it back as OBC. WAAAYTOOO and Pattycruise 1 1 Quote

Sketchy is a light way to put it. I think it should be illegal. I'm embarrassed that I fell for that one. When I filled mine out in May, it was the official site and I had it bookmarked. But, I felt that I will never need it again and deleted it, when I got back home, from my bookmark list. Quote
Blur Posted June 4, 2022 Report Posted June 4, 2022 Mirroring what @Pattycruise said... I just did a b2b going to Canada 2x.. filled out arrivecan form for both and the only thing I needed to get on and off the ship was my seapass card. I had my passport and arrivecan code but they never asked for either at Halifax. Quote
smokeybandit Posted June 5, 2022 Report Posted June 5, 2022 Canadian border patrol didn't even ask for our arrivecan today, unless it was linked to our declarations printout in which we scanned passports Quote

FireFishII Posted June 9, 2022 Report Posted June 9, 2022 I had read on Amtrak site that your ArriveCan is tied to your passport. So when the border agent scans your passport, they will see your ArriveCan info. Quote
