They say to keep your hand carried item with you - your meds and important papers will be in there. Not sure if I want it under the bus. But again, the riverboat is not like the train or the bus with room under your seat. I know they have done this millions of times and it all works out but I like everything spelled out before I leave home.

Thanks so much skynight for taking the time to reply. Yes, you have it correct. That is what I figured would happen. We have been trying to do this for three years and I screwed up not going in a day earlier. We always go two days early for cruising and earlier if there are a lot of sea days right away. As with everyone these days, the airlines have been playing games so things could still change. I wish the land portion itinerary was available for us now. thanks again.

Yesterday, Princess finally updated the itinerary telling us we will be staying at the Riverside Lodge in Fairbanks. Figured that was where we would be but I was waiting for it in writing. We are doing the Riverboat cruise the morning after we arrive. It says it is 8:00 to 1:00. Then we have a 3 hour coach ride to Denali Wilderness Lodge. Next, it says we have the afternoon at our leisure!! ON the bus!!!??? What time does the bus leave? As soon as we get off the riverboat ? Check out time is 11:00 - so I assume we must take our hand carried tote on the riverboat - and some bags go toward the ship and others to the Denali lodge. Our flight arrives at 8:30 pm but I know others come in much later. When do they plan to fill us in???? I am a planner and want to know things up front. We have friends that live in Fairbanks and want us over for a BBQ - don't think that will happen but we would like to see them for a few minutes. Will there be any time when we get off the riverboat? Can anyone fill me in our your experience. Last time we did this, we left from Anchorage so this is completely different. I really appreciate any replies. Thanks

What is a CT value? CT stands for “Cycle Threshold” and indicates how many times a machine needed to try to copy a particular virus’s genetic material before being able to detect that material on a particular test called a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. The CT value can be looked at as an indirect indicator of the amount of viral genetic material detected from a particular specimen on a particular test at a particular time. In general, a lower CT value indicates a higher viral load in that specimen, and a higher CT value indicates a lower viral load. I have not heard of any other countries using this. If you test positive In the Cayman's, after 10 days in quarantine, your CT value needs to be above 32 before they allow you to get out of quarantine. I had no symptoms but my CT value started at 15, 7 days later it was 27, and when I hit 32.6 they allowed me to leave. I was not allowed out of my room. They set a table outside of my door where I could grab my food. I was told if I did not follow the rules of the government, I could be fines $10,000 and put in jail for 2 years. It was 12 days of hell. It was not cheap - $3000 for the room. So make sure you purchase insurance. Last minute flights are very expensive.

I went on a scuba trip to Little Cayman and tested positive. I was in quarantine for 12 days until my CT value was above 32. At that point I received a letter of recovery from the Cayman government stating I had covid and did my quarantine and now and was cleared to travel. It is good for 90 days from when you had covid.

My understanding is that the cruiselines follow this CDC order.

Airline Checklist: How to Confirm Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination and Negative Qualifying Test Results or Documentation of Recovery from COVID-19 Purpose: To help airlines confirm passengers’ COVID-19 vaccination (as applicable) and testing status before they board flights to the United States, as required by Presidential Proclamation and CDC’s Orders*. Part 2: NEGATIVE TEST OR Documentation OF RECOVERY: Passenger Must Show a Negative COVID-19 Viral Test Result or Documentation of Recovery from COVID-19 or Meet Criteria for an Exemption to this Requirement

I also have my DOR letter and was wondering the same thing
