Just to fill everyone in on what happened with the stragglers. We were three of them that made it in time. After the 16:40 train stopped in Mantes-la-jolie we waited to board another train to Lahavre. There seemed to be much confusion and finally my son called us an Uber. It was a 200e ride and we arrived at about 9:05. We talked later to others who were on the train and they arrived on the train about 9:30. We heard 6 people were confused and missed the train in Mantes-la-jolie so did not make it in time. We are very thankful the captain waited about 1-1/2 longer than scheduled. The 16:40 train was scheduled to arrive in LaHavre at 18:51. We thought we would have 1-1/2 hrs to spare. Obviously we didn’t know about French trains. We would have scheduled an NCL tour but they were sold out, so we were on our own.

We’re on the Getaway. Last cruise was on the Gem and before that the Bliss. This ship seems really crowded without a forward lounge. No place to sit, relax with a drink and book like we enjoyed in the forward lounges.

I’m on the same cruise. I have reservations on Delta out of LA arriving the 11th, Spending the night in Panama City. I Plan on arranging a driver to take us to Colon port on the morning of the 12th. you never know how these things are going to work out. I had originally planned on a extra day on a Greece cruise last April and because of flight cancellation, we arrived 6 hours before the ship left. We made it on ok, but our luggage didn’t arrive until four days later in Israel.

We too were charged $125 each. The invoice did not say what it was for. But I assume now it was for the eurofins test prior to embark or the pcr prior to Israel. It just says customer service.
