Which is correct, if that is how one interprets the wording on the website. Then on Chic Night, those who do not know need to leave enough time to go change if they are not dressed according to others, which will be a good variety. bon voyage

Yes, it is still a start, especially if one does not go to X's website first... LOL bon voyage

You do mean it is just above water, right? LOL bon voyage

I fully understand and accept that masks are optional aboard any X ship, yet confinement and isolation to 'a' cabin due to either close contact or positive test for C-19 is not optional. In health and bon voyage

This does not mean that we cannot hold a CP on our own... especially among the Roll Call members... Of course in a fairly open area and masked, during these times. bon voyage

Mast Grill... LOL bon appetit and bon voyage

Are you sure I would be??? LOL bon voyage

It sounds like the confirmation was not checked by the OP to determine they were getting what they were told, and now.... I hope the OP can recover and not blame everyone else for a possible fail on their part, not checking confirmation at the time reservation was made as that would have provided an opportunity to make it right, right away, or have the ability to cancel. It does sound like an up-grade which X would not do in this type of situation without an increase in fare or am I incorrect on that? Sorry it happened to them and hopefully they can get some satisfaction or resolution which will not leave a too bad of taste against X or their TA... Responsibility is spread around, it sounds like.... bon voyage

Speaking of books, if it were a title or author that you would want to read, just take it (after 45 minutes of it not being attended) and start reading... and keep it until you finished. A few days later take it back and leave on a chair with a towel, I Am sure the owner will be mad as heck... LOL bon voyage

pb - not even me would be invited??? LOL bon voyage

Cheers... 😂 bon voyage

It is my understand that this is not normal AND I recommend that you speak with the Retreat Host who will get it sorted and corrected for you immediately. There may be a reason that your Butler is not attentive, yet your issue is service which you will want to address right away. Others have been in the same position in the past and that was the course of action to take. I Am sure, from your posting(s) that you will be tactful about it and things will be handled accordingly. Do not let it go on for another day, please. Let us know how you make out. bon voyage

@B x I would think that serious consideration needs to be given to all options and drawbacks before fully committing to sailing given your health condition. Will contracting C-19 put you at serious risk of serious illness, possibly, even if fully vaccinated and you and/or your DH were to be quarantined? You may not even contract C-19 on your sailing, yet make contingency thoughts and planning in case. In health and bon voyage

I, too, have been looking for this and have emailed to find out how to add information which I did not have at the initial application. Have not heard back yet... will post back if or when I do. bon voyage

Z - Yes, they are allowed. You may want to test intermittently on-board as well just in case so you can prepare for the next phase of your sailing if +... hopefully not. Note: the tests you bring may not pass muster in terms of any required testing to enter a country or port or return to the U.S.. In health and bon voyage

LOL, I recommend that we look up at them and request they move a bit to the right to block more of the sun... or will you go fetch me a cocktail, bourbon with a splash and twist... LOL bon voyage

Is Bermuda the first stop within one (1) of departure for this sailing??? This makes a difference, as well. In health and bon voyage

Is it me or what, when I read about requirements for travel in other places I almost always do some additional research to determine if it applies to me or not. If the requirements are too onerous, then I recommend that we cancel and go elsewhere when or where the 'requirements' to entry are not so taxing, physically and mentally. Issue solved. We are on a Bermuda sailing in May and have applied for our TA and do wonder how we are to take care of the testing... since Bermuda is our second stop on the third day of the sailing. Being mindful and forward thinking, I will opt to bring along an emed or similar kit to test on-board just in case X does not test us before arrival, which has to be done in our sailings' case the second night of the sailing. Most of our Roll Call has done likewise. bon voyage

I Am so sorry that you have tested + for C-19 and have to dis-embark shortly... I wonder what would have happened were you a few days into the next sailing and tested +? I Am also so sorry that I cannot fly over there right away to make use of your cabin on the next segment and 'try' to keep up the wonderful postings you have made!!! LOL Continue to feel better and I guess you will be going to Scotland sooner than thought, if it is an option given the test results? In health and bon voyage

To be sure, X's out is that each passenger is responsible for knowing what documents are required to sail and enter countries where the ship will doc. Otherwise, we can be denied boarding at the pier for not having the proper documents to board, which is a requirement. There have been a few threads which have discussed the need of a TA to enter Bermuda and the hassle of boarding or even being denied boarding on other lines. Since you have indicated that you know about the TA, then you can go to the website and complete it. The only real issue is surrounding if or when or how the C-19 test required if more than two (2) days before arrival in Bermuda will be handled, IMO. If you sail in June the ability to complete the TA cannot be done before 30 days in advance of your sailing. Things may and can change by then, as they have in the previous 30 days. Keep monitoring the Bermuda website and here on CC about what is and/or be required, which most likely change by the time you are to sail. bon voyage

There are a few websites where beach passes for hotels are sold... maybe at a discount, too. bon voyage

Yet, I do rather enjoy talking politics, religion and the like.... LOL bon voyage

d - happy you responded, this question is often asked and answered the same way... I just take a wait and see approach to see a few fellow passengers try to reason their way into the MDR wearing any type or style of shorts... LOL bon appetit and bon voyage

Well, to be sure I said that "I believe" based on her syntax and of course you have corrected as you know she is not??? I trust @barbon2is not offended at my thought about her Nationality.... No offense meant... I do apologize to you and her. bon voyage

Quite correct, since the poster used 'dressy' and I believe the poster is from the UK, it means less than formal and more than casual in US parlance. Thanks and bon voyage
