no1talks Posted August 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2021 For more reasons than just COVID stuff, we are now planning on a two-day drive, instead of catching a flight. How are your pre-cruise travel arrangements being impacted by COVID-delta? "I was going to take a leisurely drive, but now I have to be there before my 72-hour test result expires." "We were going to fly in a few days early, but now I'm worried about airport/flight virus transmission and blowing our test at the pier." "No changes. I still plan on riding my dandy-horse to the port." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debde Posted August 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Right now I am thinking about going local-out of NYC.[pending the actual opening of the Manhattan terminal this winter] I can jump on a train and be at Penn Station in under an hour. That means sailing NCL. I have pushed my hopes for MSC up to January now because I foresee ugliness on the near horizon flying to Fla.😱 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikiniBlonde Posted August 13, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I used to feel comfortable with connecting flights, even on day of cruise. I live in North Carolina. But, this time, I’m flying nonstop, two days beforehand, even though it’s a 7 am flight. It’s the only nonstop. Florida is definitely unpredictable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ziggyuk Posted August 14, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Am I ever........ Just to get into the US I have to spend 14 days in another country, this was going to be Mexico but now Mexico is on the UK red list meaning I would have to do a full blown hotel quarantine on return even though I could enter the US no problem. Latest plan now is to spend 14 days in Canada, assuming they open to the rest of the world on 7th September as planned. I can then fly into Seattle take my Alaska cruise and return home. If not Canada I will have to spend 14 days in a south American Covid torn country because the US will welcome me from there but not direct from the UK.

zekekelso Posted August 14, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Honestly, no. If things get bad, I figure the cruise will be cancelled before my travel plans get blowed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted August 14, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 14, 2021 We drive from South Carolina to Miami. It's about 13 hours, and we stay in Fort Lauderdale over night, then it's a short drive to the Miami port the day of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quattrohead Posted August 14, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I think it is dangerous to fly now, there is no social distancing in the airports or planes and we now know masks and vax are not 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare styles27 Posted August 14, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Live in RI flying nonstop into Tampa for a week stay at an Airbnb condo before our cruise departs on 11/14. We plan on getting tested a couple of times that week before driving to Port Canaveral and boarding the ship We’re both fully vaccinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
