Being a White Sox fan I can think of a reason why no Cub in sight 😀 (no Sox either) 🙁

We are on that cruise as well.  Originally, the Rotterdam was scheduled to be in St. Kitts from 8:00 until 5:00 and we booked the Nevis Shore Ex leaving at 9:00 for 6 hours.  Now St. Kitts will be from 7:00 until 3:00 so I assume we'll wind up rising early to catch that one.

We are booked on the Jan. 12 NS cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale.  Unfortunately, DW walked with a walking partner 7 days ago who had a cough and tested positive for the virus the next day.  So, she answered the Health Questionnaire question about having "contact" with someone who tested positive within 14 days of boarding as "yes" and we were taken to a screen with a phone number to call indicating we "may be" denied boarding - not "will be" not "shall be" - just "may be".  Calling the number and talking to a rep, he indicated that if we went to the pier we would be screened by the ship's doctor and "may be" denied boarding.  He indicated he was doubtful we would be allowed to board as "they are being very careful".  In the meantime, we both took our tests through emed this morning and are negative and feeling well.  DW's walking partner has fully recovered.  We have our flights to FLL scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, but the last thing we need is to fly, spend the night, and be denied boarding (after our luggage is dropped off and on the ship!).  What's a person to do?

Good to hear - thanks!  Probably the initial cruise was simply start-up glitches.

If I may, I'd like to ask about the disembark process.  Another string (referring to the inaugural cruise of the Koningsdam post-Covid), called the disembark in San Diego a nightmare with long lines and waits faulting the Customs officers for the delay.

Sorry but if I print my luggage tags without the room number may I add it when it’s assigned. Never had a guaranteed cabin before. I knew where it was before we got moved from Rome TA to Barcelona TA. Thanks

I had the same issue on a trans-Atlantic out of Barcelona in Nov. 2019 - the baggage guys at the Terminal will look up your cabin number when you get to the pier and attach new tags.

We are a few days from sailing on Carnival and are yet to have a stateroom assigned.  I understand that assignment could come as late as when we arrive at the pier.  What about luggage tags?  Right now they say "TBA" (To be assigned).  Is this going to work?  Thanks for any help.
