Testing 2 or 3 Days Prior? Here is your Answer

We had all been hearing rumours lately about whether Princess would be changing their testing requirements.  I can now confirm the requirements.

On my current booking for a cruise in late March I clicked on the important notifications button on the bottom left and it opened another screen with notifications for this cruise.

Now one thing I noticed was that on Princess' main FAQ page it still shows 2 days.  So maybe because I am booked I can click on my notifications for my specific cruise.

Above you can see that it shows 3 days prior for testing requirements.

Some others have received notifications directly via email with the change.  I haven't as of yet, but it usually follows a few days later.  

Also at first I thought this 3 day requirement was changing only for those who are boosted, but this notification only states for those who have been fully vaccinated (which currently does not mean boosted - although this could change).

Hope this helps you.

We Need a Vacation

We have really missed cruising as passengers. With the last few cruises being working cruises we missed the true felling of being a guest.  I know, I know you will say "well you are cruising when you are working". Yes we are but it is different.

As guest entertainers we are non revenue.  We have to be mindful of what we do, where we go, and to not take away from revenue guests.  

Also we missed things like mini bar, laundry service, priority tendering, and other perks we get with our loyalty level.  Just being able to participate in games like Yes/No, or trivia is nice.

So we started looking at options.  We wanted the Caribbean, we like the option of driving to Florida as flying right now is crazy expensive and not reliable.  Plus we have the time to drive.

The deal was cinched when Bernie's Brother announced they were going to Myrtle Beach and offered us a place to stay if we wished.  So perfect, we will drive down there and stay a few days then continue to Fort Lauderdale and cruise, then drive to Myrtle Beach on the way up and spend a few days, then drive home.

Also excited to be going on the Enchanted - Princess' newest ship (as of right now).  Also looking forward to the drive.  Yes it is long, but we are looking forward to taking our time, and if we want to stop longer we can.

So we will be sailing March 30th on the Enchanted.  Care to join us?

Note port stop in Bonaire has been replace with Aruba.
