I will try again next month on Vision since the internet has greatly improved and I have been able to stream without buffering on my iPad (on the Vision in an inside inside cabin - 3331). It would be nice to use a larger screen.

Internet thru the Amazon firestick was blocked on the Allure in July, 2023.

The tv is Samsung. You will be able to physically connect the firestick to the tv BUT you will not be able to connect to your internet package to log in. They block that feature. My cabin was a balcony, not a suite.

This is nothing new and not a scam. Bermuda has been doing random searches of crew and guest cabins before Covid. I personally had my cabin searched in Bermuda. It was before Covid. I did feel violated but understand that this is not the US. They searched all my drawers and the bathroom. There was a female agent with them. Again, this is NOT new and NOT a scam. No need for discussion. It is what it is. When you travel outside the US, you are bound by that country’s laws. If you don’t agree with it or like it, don’t travel outside the US. It’s that easy!!!

I am on anthem. We did stop at port canaveral.

This is not their first rodeo. Been going under that bridge for years. You really think they schedule Anthem or Oasis to go out of Cape Liberty and can’t make it under the bridge??? Maybe they jump over the bridge or drive around it … lol.

Always check the box that indicates you will be in area where social distancing cannot be done or you may have come in contact with someone who has Covid. If you go to the grocery store, pharmacy, church, school, have kids in school, etc., check that box!! There should be no charge at cvs or Walgreens. Or as stated above, you can use a free govt test or any at home test kit.

You can use a free test kit with an online proctoring site to test for $15-$20. RapidTestandTrace or On-point. Results within 15 minutes and an email with results immediately.

Thx for the link. The extension allows me to use the free iHealth tests from the govt with a proctored online agency ($20) for the required Covid testing to cruise in Aug, Sept, and Oct.

I tested positive the day I disembarked on May 29 after a b2b. Mild symptoms. It was Memorial Day weekend. Called dr office on Tuesday. They told me I didn’t need to come in and if symptoms got worse, I.e., difficulty breathing, go to the hospital. Otherwise, stay home and quarantine for a while. Eventually the cruise ships will handle Covid cases like they do for the flu and norovirus. Time to get over it. Nobody cares anymore. IMO, make sure you are fully boosted so the effectiveness of the vaccine is at the maximum if you want to travel. If you are worried about full capacity on the ships, don’t go. Stay home. This is the way it is!!

Hi Jess and Paul. We have met a few times on the Anthem (in the casino, of course!!). We will be joining you on June 24th. Looking forward to seeing both of you again. Luann

Make sure “WiFi calling” is turned on. You may need to enter emergency information. You can do this at home and connect your phone to your internet. When you get on the ship, connect to their internet. Instructions how to connect will be in your cabin if you pre-purchased the internet. Turn on airplane mode. If you have an iPhone, the only way to message friends/family or to receive messages from them is by using Facebook messenger. If you have an android, you will be able to use regular text messages. Sometimes when on a cruise ship, you may lose connectivity. Turn off the phone and restart. Airplane mode … connect to ship internet … WiFi calling on.
