Hello JSR, I hope the urgent things that came up were not too serious, and that they have been successfully addressed.I thought I had responded to your last posting when I read it (a day or two after), but apparently you need to click "Submit" (insert palm to forehead here). Looking forward to reading your thoughts and opinions. Take care.

Greetings, I have enjoyed following your live report. Now that you have returned home and some of the glow/euphoria of the trip has perhaps faded as you shift back to the real world; I was wondering if we could get your overall impression of the Nova, particularly in comparison to other SS ships you have sailed on. Also, how did the service and food hold up across the 71 days? Looking forward to hearing your reply.

Hi Terry, I have enjoyed reading about your adventures, starting with the posts before you boarded, and love your quality photos. When you have a moment, would you please share how you made arrangements with your "Golden Triangle" tour provider. I am planning a trip to the area, and from what you describe, they seem to be be the way to go. Looking forward to more great posts.

Hi Kristal Blade, I found the following on the SS website. The highlighted portion would be the new requirement for Greece. VOYAGES EMBARKING IN THE PIRAEUS ONLY Guest Embarkation Testing Requirements All guests regardless of their vaccination status must present a valid Antigen negative test result performed within 48 hours of embarkation: The test must be administered by a certified laboratory. Any other tests such as self-test kits or procedures via a telehealth provider will be rejected by Greek authorities. This would mean video proctored tests, such as Abbot's BinaxNOW, would not be accepted. I have also posted this on our roll call board. We still have 51 days until we sail, hopefully Greece will eliminate the requirement by then.
