Thank you again for your valuable information. It will help us in planning our 5 days in Hong Kong. Have a safe trip home and a Blessing 2024!

I'm also following. Disembarking the same day and going to the same area. 

Is the following statement because there are 6 of you? We are 2 and were going to get a taxi.

I've heard that taxis are not adequate (hopefully this is still not the case) at this cruise terminal.

Thank you for your quick and detail response. This information will really be helpful during our stay in Hong Kong.

You mentioned the taxis only take HG dollars and no credit cards. Did you find you needed HG dollars for lots of things, street food, restaurants, admissions to sites, vendors or your Credit cards accepted? We have Thai Baht & Singapore Dollar but no HG dollars.

One more thing is you don't mind. We have Verizon cell service. Did you get an international package or were you able to use what you had.

Thank you again and I have so... enjoyed your review.

"she made sure we was sitting on the correct side of the tram to get a good view and photo (going up and down)."

We will be there in March for 5 days. What was the Best side to sit on the tram going up and coming down?

Thanks

Thanks for posting your adventure.  I will be following along as we will be on the Solstice March 3, 2024 - Singapore to Hong Kong. We also will stay 5 days in Singapore and 5 days in Hong Kong. We were booked for this cruise for Feb. 2020. Cancelled 11 days before we were to fly out. I think Miaminice was on our roll call.

Thanks, yes very simple to do. Mine was on page 20. 

Dave, did you print the whole edoc? Can't seem to just print the tags.

We did not discuss insurance but this is what I found on their website:

"We currently do not accept insurance.  We are able to provide you with the CPT code and receipt for the COVID-19 test to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. All insurance companies vary, and you will need to reach out to them about your potential reimbursement. We are able to accept most major credit cards, debit cards and cash. In some locations we can also accept Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending accounts (FSAs). Check with your local ARCpoint Labs for payment options."

Thank you, Aunt Tina ! We will be cruising out of Boston on Sept. 21, 2022 and needed somewhere to get a covid test. I call ARCpoint Labs located at 5-11 Drydock Ave., Suite 2020, Boston 02210 (617-340-2500) and spoke with a Very helpful lady (lab tech). The price is $65 pp and she said there would be No problem getting a test. We wanted to make an appointment and she advised we call back 1st of September. Thanks again, glad to have this issue resolved. Praying everything goes as planned.

Thank you Very much. Worked!

OK, so there are two issues that need to be addressed. The first is the requirement for a negative COVID test prior within 2 days of embarkation for the Canada/NE leg. For the test, you have at least three possible options:

- testing aboard, if RCI still offers this option;

- getting off the ship in Baltimore and getting tested at a local facility; or

- taking a test kit with you and doing a proctored test aboard once you are back in Baltimore. As you will be in port and in range of cell towers, you will be able to use your phone without having to get a ship's wifi package.

 

Completing the ArriveCAN app should be a two stage process for you. The app will not allow you to make a submission until you are within three days of your trip, but you can enter all of your personal data and proof of vaccinations in advance. So, at home, before heading off to Bermuda, download the app and enter everything except the travel details. Then, when you arrive in Baltimore from Bermuda, enter the trip details and submit your information.

 

Don't be intimidated by the app. I'd suggest that after first downloading it, make a trial run with the actual details of your trip but using an embarkation date within three days of your trial run (or it won't let you continue). Go through the whole process, but just don't make submit it. If you run into problems or have any questions, come back here and you'll get all the help you need.

 

 

I did the "make a trial run with the actual details of your trip but using an embarkation date within three days of your trial run (or it won't let you continue). Go through the whole process, but just don't make submit it." I did NOT submit it. Now the trial information is in the form, and I can't get it out. Will the trial information just disappear after the trial dates if I don't submit? Or do I need to call them? Thanks!!

Just turned Elite. Have earned 70 points since PUP began. Going on our first cruise since 2019 (South America) the end of September (Canada\New England). February 2020 we were scheduled for S. Asia but of course that was canceled. Have rescheduled S. Asia for 2024.

For our February SE Asia cruise we bought N95 mask, hand sanitizer, gloves and Clorox wipes. We can use all of them now. But also got $535.16 USD in Thai Baht money and $238.95 USD in Singapore money. Rate to exchange it back was Really bad so we are going to keep it for now and hope to use it in the future. We also have insurance but can also use it at a later date.

Suskies, thank you for this wonderful review. 

Guiarm, we will also be on the 2/29/20 cruise. Flights and excursions are booked. Staying 4 days in Singapore and 5 days in Hong Kong. Still need to book hotels and a few city tours. 

We brought 3 bottles of rum on board. One bottle at three different ports. Twice in a small backpack and once in a bag with other items we purchased on shore. Everything went through the scanners. No one batted an eye. This was on the Star, 02/28/19 - 03/14/19.

We just returned from a 14 day SA cruise. After reading this thread we decided to buy two cases, in BA a case is 6 bottles, and bring them onboard. We put luggage stickers on them and gave the two cases along with our luggage to the porter. Later we were called and asked if we knew the policy for bring on more then two bottles of wine. We said yes we were to pay $15 per bottle for corkage fee. They said you get two bottles free so we will charge you for 10 bottles. We said fine. We had also brought two bottles in our carry on so we had 14 bottles. At each port we brought on more wine and (rum) and no one said a thing. It was a GREAT trip. Thanks again for all the experienced cruisers for letting us know about this process.

Thanks Shmoo Here - that worked. Since I usually read the Princess and Celebrity boards the other method was much quicker but since this works I will use it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies. I am following the same procedure I have for Many years:

Boards

Princess

Find Your Roll Call

Select the Ship

Select the Date (Month/Year)

Two results come up for Princess in Feb 2019:

Star Princess Roll Call - February 14, 2019

Star Princess Roll Call - February 29, 2019

I tried to select both and nothing comes up. As I stated, I have tried both IE and Chrome.

Thanks again for your help,

RenRan

I have not been able to access my roll calls on the Princess Star 02/28/19 or Celebrity Millennium 02.29/20. I have seen no comments on the stating the sites are down. I have tried both IE and Chrome. Hope you can help.
