Yes this makes sense and was what I expected. Just became unsure as they do not offer Aqua without perks anymore.

Tonight my booked cruises (incl one paid in full) disappeared from my account 🥵

Tried to make courtesy hold tonight via Celebrity phone call for cruise 14 Nov 2022 (was not possible online). The Celebrity agent made reservation but was told it expires if not paid by tomorrow as there are no courtesy holds possible after final payment date. And for same reason it can not be transferred to my normal agency anymore either. This was completely new to me. Is this new or was it always like that ?

If move up bid from veranda with cruise only rate to Aqua is accepted will this remain cruise only or will you get all Inklusive ? Not clear to me as they are only selling Aqua with All Inklusive. and what about Move up to suites ? Will you get retreat and all perks ? Sorry if this was already discussed before but can not find answer.

Our plan was to stay overnight close to the port of Miami. We would use car to do some sightseeing and go shopping on the way over (leave cases in trunk). Just found out hotel prices are rather high in that area (Brickell) and those hotels do not offer parking and the car rental is not open anymore on Sunday late afternoon, so we would be stuck with car until next morning. Therefore now maybe consider returning car at Miami airport in evening, stay in airport area overnight and take taxi to cruiseport next day. This then would be a Monday. Any idea how long to foresee to get from airport area to port during monday morning rushhour ? (BTW we have never used Uber or Lyft or installed Ap).

We are arriving in FLL on a Transatlantic and leaving next day on cruise from Miami. Which car rentals have port shuttle to pick up in FLL and shuttle from drop off in Miami to port ? Some help would be welcome as booking sites indicate just car pick up in FLL airport and we know there is a location very close to Port Everglades with shuttle. And we can not find rental close to Miami port. To complicate : We are arriving FLL on Sunday morning

@cangelmd - hope your daughter and family can have holidays as planned and that especially the kids can enjoy 👍 The input from you and others here is much appreciated and will be taken into consideration. At the moment we tend to stay in Florida after the cruise but will watch developments. Again all our best wishes and much strength and optimism to all those that have been hit.

We have been several times incl one drive to Key West. Just thought of spending couple of days in FLL/Miami area, then drive West and up along the Mexican Gulf to Tampa where we could fly back from. A combination of beaching, sightseeing, shopping and make stops of a couple of days each; don t like to have different accomodations every night. Seems like we have to rethink routing.

We will be coming off a Celebrity TA in Ft Lauderdale and planned on adding another 10-14 days in Florida. Now we were wondering if it would not be better to fly back to Europe immediately or to fly to another US state ( not on South East Coast).

Thanks a lot for input. we d like to come, but don t want to be “disaster tourists” either.

We have all seen the devastation that Ian had on Florida ‘s West Coast and the physical and mental pain and suffering it is causing. We feel for you and hope you can recover and rebuild in due time. We have a trip planned to Florida in 5 weeks, driving from East to West, no special itinerary or reservations yet. Need some advice if it is better to cancel whole trip or what areas to avoid. Will it even be possible to find hotel rooms that are not needed for the homeless ? Going forth and back if it is better to stay away for a while, but then Florida s main industry is tourism and if that falls away ?

Ours still show up as cancelled as well under Order History. However after check-in (via App) our Xpass show CALL. So I assume everything is fine.

Switzerland runs its own evaluation and validation process which takes additional time and hence was later in the ordering phase.

Thanks a lot - very reassuring as the gap between the planned booster and the required antigen test decreases continuously. We might even still have to go last minute for a 2nd booster with the old vaccine 🫣

We were waiting for the new boosters before our Transatlantic (have already 2 vaccinations and 1 booster with old Pfizer version). Now rollout of newer kind of vaccination is becoming delayed here and I fear we might only get it 1 week or so before having to test for TA. Not sure which make we will finally get. Does anyone have experience with new vaccinations and/or can confirm that it will not mess up antigen test so soon after (ie showing positive) ? thanks in advance

…..Include a positive result document for a COVID-19 test, either PCR or Antigen test, taken a minimum of 11 days and a maximum of 90 days before the departure date of your U.S. cruise; or, a minimum of 11 days and a maximum of 180 days for European and Australia/New Zealand sailings…. What about Transatlantics going West this Fall, starting in Europe - would they qualify as “European” sailings with maximum of 180 days ?
