Everyone has to wear mask when in shops and restaurants  on Roatan including  in Mahogany Bay

I would keep an eye out for protocols for December, until then it's all speculation!

More cases here too. Obvious that unvaccinated people are  going maskless because our percent vaccinated is about 55 and no one masks up at all.  ICU nurses of all people are livid that major health providers want to require masks by September.

Video is way way off topic re CPAP. I will leave this as it is for now but please get back on topic. Thanks 

To slide back to center, i.e. on topic, who else has a favorite CARNIVAL  related entertainer ?

Host Carolyn I think it was said the vaccine hasnt yet made it to roatan. Expect to wear masks except for water excursions or when eating. ..easier to say it this way than to name all water excursions. Its required to shop in the port.

Also required in shops around the island. Even though vaccinated here my son has to wear a mask inside shops etc when he goes back home there

Next time this nut case video shows up entire thread will go, important content that could be posted with it.

At least 2 out of 3 of my ports require masks in public and idk about the 3rd. Not thrilled with masks at mahogany bay to shop around the port area. Very few shop keepers, and if I dont have covid there is no sense me wearing one.

My son lives part time in Roatan. They don't have vaccine there yet  and are being very cautious  balancing needing tourism dollars and not having to lock down again. Many  shops are still requiring masks indoors and these are outside Mahogany Bay, no exceptions 

If they offer tour to Mangroves and east end mostly by boat in Roatan, take it! Beautiful  non touristy end of island where my son has a house near Oak Ridge

This is all pure speculation  at this point since no cruises have sailed.  Please repost when we can get firsthand posts from those who have sailed. Thanks!

I think we are doing whales in Juneau also.

The smaller tour companies are best for whale watching..ship tours cram a lot of people into the space and operate on tight schedules. . Some good options...book ahead though...are Harv and Marv's Alaska Whale Watching and  Orca Enterprises. I'm sure under circumstances that they would refund if Alaska sailings get canceled. 

      In Ketchikan we decided to go to  Misty Fjords on our last trip, did boat tour and it was stunning 

     If they let White Pass train go in Skagway be sure to sit on the left side of the car for best scenery. They may let it run but  not let folks off in Canada?

Hi does anyone,have any information Regarding Booking ref *********  on the  Arcadi 24 nights the  15 september 2021.

At present the canadian government have a Ban on cruise ships,till febuary 2022.

Despite emails to P&0 there have been no notifications.

 

yours respectfully    G watkin

It is not a good idea to put personal info here on Cruuse Critic as we have no way of controlling who sees it. I have removed the  booking number for that reason.  Host Carolyn

Doubt Roatan will be open for cruise ships by then. Things are getting better there but still being very careful with tourists coming to the island

************ please don't turn this into another thread  re smoking vs not smoking, where to smoke etc.  There were plenty of those debates before

      If and when Carnival comes out with with new or updated smoking policy it can be it's own respectful new.thread... Thanks. *******

And that is not a typical itinerary for Alaskan cruises.  I can't even find that on the Carnival site, so I assume it is some other cruise line.

 

A typical (Carnival) itinerary appears to be:

 

Start: Seattle > Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord > Skagway > Juneau > Ketchikan > Victoria > End: Seattle 

 

Congrats, you found the exception!  How many times will they do that in a year?

Several cruise lines have done this itinerary at end of Alaska season for years to reposition ships to Asia for winter sailings ....Carnival has never offered it

No one knows so keep it cordial and on topic please. Last time this got crazy and it's all speculation at this point in the soda debate.. Thanks

How did my amenities thread go from Included Amenities or not to Vaccination discussion?  I was trying to make a thread to talk about something else instead of that lol. oh well back to the drawing board.....

       ********* Can we please go back to OP's original post topic re amenities?? Plenty

 of threads re vaccinations and cruising......thank you! Any posts off topic from here on will be removed.

Thanks for updates!!!!

Nice to hear from everyone, doing pretty well here in NC. At least seniors will get real graduation this year!  Keeping is busy!.

Maybe not, but there have been quite a few threads in the past with people disagreeing on passports. Plus, this isn't a covid thread, so yay.  LOL.

Exactly....always disagreement re passports, not civil in most cases and this didn't take long to turn. Please no judging, fighting

There have been many passport threads, most have turned into a pros and cons debate. This will go poof if that happens again

Can't believe been over a year since this thread began! Sorry.to hear about Michigan, not what anyone wants to hear. More people have worn masks last couple months and with bar curfew and vaccine things have calmed down. Numbers down so more things really opening up but mask mandate still in effect. Our governor has walked a delicate balance--- for the most part it has worked.

I see you started a roll call😁 I'm leaving this thread here for discussion

Thanks for updates. Some restrictions eased in NC last week, lots of people getting appointment for vaccines but a lot still scared of side effects. Bar and restaurant workers can get now so my son and one of his bartenders driving to Shelby, about 60 miles away, to drive through clinic Saturday.  I had my shots in February.

       Interesting to see how Spring Break affects our lowering case numbers.......
