Just wondering if they quarantine you the rest of the cruise? Or do they disembark you at the next port, and quarantine at a hotel? Thanks 

Debating on if we should take our 2 and 6 yr old on a royal cruise this Xmas. Anyone have thoughts? Anyone travel down and taken their kids since restart? What’s been your experiences? Wife and I are fully vaxxed. 

thanks.

Doesn't hurt to purchase it now. If better price comes along , just cancel it and buy at lower price.

Thanks, was not sure if I could cancel it.

Do you think we should jump on the drink plan sale now? or will be possibly a better deal for black friday?

Thanks

Assuming that both adults have single vaccine and not mixed dose vaccinations, I don't see any major problems. Things get easier month by month, so barring a major reversal, I'd say plan on going but keep an eye on developments in the weeks to come.

 We are mixed, so hope that’s not an issue either 

We’ve booked an MSC cruise for Xmas time out of Miami, and although the adults are 2x vaxxed, our kids are under 7 most likely will not be by then. 
 

thoughts? I know we can’t predict, but What do you think the borders and quarantining will be like by then? Anyone else in similar position? Final payment is in sept, so we have a couple months.

Bump

My son has a severe peanut allergy and my mom requires assistance getting on and off the ship. How is MSC with special need accommodations.?

thank you. 

As of feb 2020

Taken on a 12 day in feb 2020. I didn’t get all menus. Sorry, I don’t know which days were which picture 

As of feb 2020

For the pavilion on the Joy. The cost is $29/hour. $49/per day and I believe $199 for entire cruise. Does not include any arcade games, there is a separate package for that. I don’t recall the cost. 

On joy now and they do open, but the attendant will not open them due to safety reasons. I believe this is fleet wide. 

Looking for a place to rent a car other than hertz as they are booked up. Thanks. 

1. The $20 laundry bag, is there a limit of one per cabin?

2. Has anyone had any luck with getting a credit if the cruise fare has discounted after final payment? specifically this recent 30% off fare.

Thank you in advance.

Bumping this up, as I also would like to know. Thanks

Our son has a peanut allergy and NCL was great with allergies. Be sure to fill out this form https://www.ncl.com/ca/en/case-submission/ad-cust-cases-us and inform them of the allergies.

Once you get on board, speak with the restaurant manager.

Thanks for replies.

We have two kids, going to be 6 months and 4.5 years at sailing so we're just trying to not carry on so much. The reason we want to bring car seats, is that we are considering renting cars in a few ports.

Do you think it's safe to check the car seat at the embarkation port?

TIA

Your 12 day trip may have two laundry opportunities - at least one for sure

Normally on a 7 day cruise hump day #4 is laundry day

Cruises of more than 14 days one would expect 2 laundry services

 

Need to have some CC reader input on this ---

 

Is this 12 day cruise a FULL transit of the PC ?

  

 No. Partial transit. I’m just trying to see how much we have to pack. We will be a family of 4 with small kids, and don’t want to lug too many bags. 

We are going on a 12 day cruise with a 4 yr old and a 6 month old. Looking for packing advice in order to minimize the amount of suitcases. Any recommendations on keeping things to a minimum? we are on NCL, so they do not have self serve laundry. I know they have a special $20 laundry bag, but I believe that is closed to the end of the cruise.

Thanks

We are going to be on a 12 day Panama cruise in February and were wondering what day the $20 bag would be offered?

Thank you

We are looking for any recent pictures of the t-rex kids center on the Dawn. I keep finding conflicting pictures online, and I'm not sure if the pictures are pre or post refirb.

I've seen some pictures with a play structure, and some without the structure.

TIA

The zoo was incredible! We got there just after they opened at 10 and stayed until 5, and we didn't even see everything. My husband used to be a zookeeper though, so we are more zoo geeky than the average person. The Congo gorilla exhibit is fantastic. Bonus gorilla pic.

 

We took the BxM11 express bus, which couldn't have been easier. We actually took Lyft to one of the Madison Ave bus stops, but we really should have walked because we got there too early and wandered around and got coffee. I was so worried about being late that it didn't even occur to me we'd be early. We had our giant Osprey backpacks with us though. You'll need to figure out what you're doing with your luggage. It took 45 minutes to get from Madison Ave and 47th St to the zoo.

Thank you very much for the info, what time did you line up to disembark and what time did you actually get to street level? We are driving, so not an issue with luggage. Awesome Picture.

Good idea saying use bathroom and get dressed. Would have been HOT losing AC!!

 

Must have been interesting since you are apparently a firefighter...

My SIL is on this cruise, and they don't have AC since the fire (perhaps coincidence), supposedly other cabins don't have AC either.
