Someone else reported this process on another ship Live From.  I believe the testing was done early (or maybe it was actually the day before arrival??).  Anyway, they did the rapid test and everyone who passed clean then went to the next meeting - the usual B2B meet-up where they march you off the ship into the terminal for CBP to do their thing and then back on the ship. 

 

I would think once anyone has the green light on the test, you either disembark and come back later or through the loop with the others and CBP check as normal.

I did read that.

Good to hear. 

My husband always gets off the ship during B2B's and would like to leave as early as possible.

Were any shore excursions offered for Transit Guests, or was going ashore completely "on your own"?

This is what’s listed on the App

Day 10, Tuesday

Have you ordered drinks with the Princess Plus package for room service off of the TV app ?  If so, how does that work if two people in the cabin , both with PP, want to order drinks ( and food ) at the same time ?

 

Is there a 'log-in' process like on your 'device' ?

I have only ordered through the app for room service  but my second drink was bottled water so that wouldn’t trigger the additional cost 

-You don’t log in to the TV you just select your photo with the remote which indicates who is watching/ordering

OK, sounds easy - click on her picture, order ... click on my picture, order - hopefully both orders arrive at the same time by the same person

 

we both have 'devices', so we'll figure it out ... just wish Princess could add the click on picture to the app for easy ordering by two people at the same time.

 

Just really happy that PP works for room service now as an option - but we're really still more 'ship people' than 'cabin people'

Is there a library on board?

No library or books in the internet cafe.

Just 12 computers and a printer

Just a reminder: COVID

 

i realize it’s difficult to forget but it’s day 9 and my waiter for dinner is now quarantined.

I asked the assistant waiter directly and he confirmed it.

Tonight was formal night and the dining room was packed, all the staff were running and working twice as hard as usual.

We are on vacation and don’t care if things take a bit longer or dishes aren’t whisked away quickly.

I realize everyone has their own thoughts on COVID but just keep an open mind if you are sailing soon.

Does anyone have a favorite dining room on the Enchanted Princess? I've been searching for photos of the three dining rooms and haven't had much luck.

Is there a place to leave books that I've read?

No issues today gaining entry to Princess Cay. 

Amazing Weather hot enough in the sun and cool in the shade.

Due to staff quarantine not all bars/eateries are operational, but enough are that it doesn’t make a difference.

Have you been using the Amalfi DR?

It's been years since we eaten in an aft DR.

No, We have had the same table in Capri for the entire voyage.  I haven’t even looked in Amalfi because of it’s location 😆

Have you been eating early? 

Since we always eat at 5 PM the medallion app has only gives 1 option, the Amalfi dining room. If we could get the Capri for early seating like you, I might try to switch. 

I can see from your patters that both dining rooms open at 5PM & I can't understand why the app only lets me select the Amalfi.

CVS has a disclaimer on the rapid test that it may not be acceptable for some travel. Does anyone know for sure that the CVS rapid test is acceptable for Princess?

We have been eating at 5pm everyday, it was the best way for us to be able to select a specific table and same staff.

I would keeping checking the app for changes or just check in early on the day when you arrive with the dining room.

In the app you can book individual day reservations try that instead of the full voyage. It might just be one or two days not available and that could be an easier fix once onboard.

The CVS antigen test is accepted if it’s proctored at the location

So, are they testing while still on the ship and then you can go to your room and pack if positive or are you escorted off.  I thought somewhere I asked and they said you were tested OFF the ship and not allowed back on to pack?  To me that is the most stressful.  Looking at B2B2B2B2B and how to stay safe without getting covid!
