If you bought it through the fun shops it will show in your book under details.  However, if it was part of a package deal in your booking then it doesn't show up at all.  Like us, we got an offer for cheers as part of the actual booking code at a substantially reduced rate.    Kind of stupid really.

We also have bought as part of a package deal, and it shows at the top of our booking and order page.

My understanding is that for Canada you don't need a test for entry by air or land/rail, but they require a test for cruises etc.

I have an early flight from the UK on Sunday and therefore have to take an antigen test on Saturday for entry to the USA. This test would of also been ok for any cruise except Alaska. Because of the time difference between the UK and the west coast I will now take a PCR test at Heathrow on Sunday morning. An Antigen test would have left me only 1hour to catch the flight in an ever increasingly busy airport. I know I could take an Antigen test when in the USA, but wanted to lessen the risk with traveling in a plane with passengers who were only negative at a snapshot in time.

Got the reassignment email today and my final payment date extended to Feb 28th. Decided to log on and pay it now. Really looking forward to my Alaska cruise, and after waiting 2 & 1/2 years, finally being able to complete my list of visiting all 50 States.

If you have a PVP or a TA, have them request a final payment extension for you. They will likely give you 30 days, but definitely two weeks at a minimum.

Thanks for the reply

I booked direct on Carnival's website only 10 days ago from the UK so don't have a PVP or TA. I did send an email to the icare@ & the email my confirmation was sent from.  The icare team sent a generic reply saying they only deal with post cruise enquires. I haven't received a reply from the cabinconfirmation@ team yet. The icare reply did have an outside of the US number which I will probably call on the 22nd 

I have final payments due Feb 23rd but obviously can't access 'manage my booking' to process it. 

Would it be reasonable to assume they will give me a grace period until March 1st?

This is good news for me. In May I'm flying from the UK on a Sunday and have a Tuesday cruise. I have to pass an antigen test 1 day prior to entry to the USA. I can take a rapid test on the Sunday morning to cover both flight and cruise, but if I fail I'll lose the flight booking (cancelation must be within 24 hours).

So I have booked a local pharmacy for a test on the Saturday to cover the flight and was going to take another at London Heathrow on the Sunday morning for the cruise (providing I pass the Saturday test). 

This now means that the Saturday test will cover both if it hopefully returns a negative result.
