9 BIG WAYS CRUISING WILL BE CHANGING - New Cruise Protocols for Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCL etc.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Do you “agree” with the new protocols and does anything surprise you?

[@bettyschick1414]

I really want to go to the Panama Canal next spring. Hope the ships are ready to go by then

[@LifeWellCruised]

Betty Schick that sounds fabulous! I’ve always wanted to do the PC itinerary! Hopefully things will be much more “predictable” by spring :)

[@johnathanmcfadden8978]

I booked a birthday cruise on Panorama Dec 2021 just to make sure. But I'm ready Now... 😁

[@LifeWellCruised]

Johnathan McFadden love this!! Hopefully we can get back much sooner, but I like your strategy!

[@angelamartin1147]

I have a cruise booked for dec 26 2020 and honestly, I don’t know what to think. So far it hasn’t been cancelled.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Angela Martin wow! Yes I understand. I have one for New Years as well and so far still on. I think we’ll know more in the next week or 2. Things can change a lot until then, possibly even itinerary. What cruise ship is it?

[@richarddeason1845]

I have no problem with new guidelines....look at msc. It work...for me i book directly...no travel agents

[@LifeWellCruised]

Richard Deason that’s awesome!! I agree overall the protocols are very similar in Europe. They seem to be working very well!! However you prefer to book your cruise is totally fine. No right and wrong way, but glad this works for you :)

[@joannefrankruyter9981]

Great info! Thanks Ilana

[@LifeWellCruised]

Joanne Frankruyter thanks Joanne! Hope you’re doing well these days. Do you have any cruises on the horizon for 21?

[@debwright4655]

I agree with the new protocol's but it would be interesting to find out how they are going to handle the 5 day prior testing for those passengers that will be out of country and flying in prior to the 5 days. I for one am Canadian and don't have a problem going in for a test here at home but that would be almost 8 days prior the the sail date. The reason is that it doesn't cost us to get it and I know to get it done in the states they will charge us and arm and a leg.

[@2Librarycat]

I am curious as well, though living in the United States we usually do a land vacation prior to the cruise.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Deb Wright you’re right. I’m Canadian too and I also wonder. I’m imagining a lot can still change until November and even later. I’m also very curious how this will go

[@LifeWellCruised]

2Librarycat this definitely is a good question for the cruise lines to address. Sounds like it could be more complicated than i first thought

[@GoodLife-hu6up]

Good👍

[@thescubabug1]

AAAAAG!!!! Norwegian is being VERY quite!!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Jon Kelly none of the cruise lines are saying anything about future cruises just yet. They have been vocal that they want to cruise again and plan for November and that they are ready. Now it’s up to CDC and other factors. Let’s hope we hear from them this week 🤞

[@amyeaton3840]

I’m just wondering if later in next year like end of May if some of the protocols will be lifted?? Well I hope so I’m planning a cruise end of May and right now the test for Covid can take up to two weeks to get back. So if they going to test by that point I hope they will have the test at the terminal that takes a few mins to get back.

[@lizrockrollnow]

Thanks for the info! Where will we all get our Covid tests before the cruise? Will pharmacies have a test available with a small fee? I would want that to be easy and cheap.

[@lizrockrollnow]

I just saw on the news that airports will start charging $57 for a covid test.

[@donaldwolverton3242]

I will cruise with the new protocols and am very curious about the denied boarding compensation!

[@LifeWellCruised]

Donald Wolverton great to hear Donald. I agree I definitely want to hear from cruise lines about potential compensation for the same reasons. What a nightmare that could be...

[@stephniedaubermann6314]

Please can you update me on the new protocols for the Munster Drill.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Stephnie Daubermann what cruise line will you be on?

[@stephniedaubermann6314]

@@LifeWellCruised I will be on the MSC in SA.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Stephnie Daubermann they haven’t said exactly yet. Royal Caribbean will be using Muster 2.0 which is a mostly remote muster drill on your phone or cabin tv. MSC may have that technology too, but to my knowledge they haven’t announced it yet. When I hear I’ll remember to update this in a future video. It’s a great question

[@stephniedaubermann6314]

@@LifeWellCruised Thanks very much. Appreciated.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Stephnie Daubermann my pleasure! Let’s hope we hear more about when exactly cruises will restart soon

[@jimhickling9840]

I am not sure I understand, is it the only way I can get off the ship is if I have an excursion booked through the cruise company. So no getting off and just walking around and explore on my own?

[@LifeWellCruised]

Jim Hickling exactly. Keep in mind this is one of the new protocols that will be modified once it’s safer to do so. Early cruises will have this, according to all cruise lines right now. Do you have a cruise booked Jim?

[@jimhickling9840]

Life Well Cruised August Alaska 2021

[@LifeWellCruised]

Jim Hickling nice cruise! Hopefully we’ll see improvements by then

[@cruiseservices4922]

Excited and can’t wait

[@LifeWellCruised]

Cruise Services that’s awesome!!! I’m thinking that every step is good news too. I’m ready 🙋‍♀️

[@GoodLife-hu6up]

Nice

[@bobkrakovich1851]

Hi Ilana, we're still good to go with these protocols. Nothing unexpected. Let's get 'er done and get up and runnin'. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut thinking how we can make faces at people behind our masks and no one knows. Heck I van even stick my 👅 out at Jill if I don't like something she says too.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Bob Krakovich haha you made me laugh!! Let’s see what happens with CDC now....

[@ajayank3951]

Dear respected mam.....can I get the chance for waiter in cruise ship......?

[@jimkeller9965]

My wife is on oxygen. Is a face shield ok for her instead of a face mask.

[@LifeWellCruised]

Jim Keller I don’t know Jim. Likely you’ll want to talk with the cruise line once they actually announce their return to sailing plans. As well probably good to chat with her doctor for recommendations

[@2Librarycat]

No surprises.

[@LifeWellCruised]

2Librarycat are the changes ok with you? Can you see yourself cruising in the early phases or will you wait?

[@2Librarycat]

@@LifeWellCruised Already have four booked and ready to go!

[@LifeWellCruised]

2Librarycat wow!!! I sure hope we get some good news soon, at least for a plan to restart, however that is
