Now the final step. Covid Testing.

Now the final step. Covid Testing.

Yes! We’ve decided just to do the OnPoint proctored rapid test the Friday before, because of our work schedules. And I promised myself I’d do nothing to risk catching the plague right before the cruise and now I’m being made to go to the Asbury Park ZombieWalk this weekend ah well, guess I’m going as a nuclear power plant worker!

They did! They had the Sanderson sisters out several times over days 3 and 4 with the professional photographer. Day 3 was actually when we met them and there was a pretty short line. They were out at 4:00 and a lot of people were still out in Bermuda. The costumes were even more detailed in person. I loved Hocus Pocus as a kid, so these did not disappoint!

Do you happen to know if they were selling day passes for the Rainforest room? Thanks

 

[ArielRae]

Wanted to share this Disney Magic walkthrough video again since we are so close to our sail date and for those new lurkers that have recently joined.

Trying to get my safe passage stuff set up. I am on the next cruise. I keep getting an error message when I try and create an account. Did any of you guys have this problem? Figure you guys were the right people to ask since you guys experienced it already. Thanks.

Also on the 21st Cruise and getting the same error. I think they take a while to get it ready based on other messages on here.

Me to. Thanks. Hope this is quicker for us then on line check in was. Haha

 

[ArielRae]

That all looks correct, thanks again!

@shellzilla
Disney has assigned everyone their stateroom numbers. Please post what yours is so I can get it added for FE delivery.

 

[ArielRae]

I can’t wait until we see this on the terminal TVs.
We are in boarding group 6.

 

[ArielRae]

They are currently selling them on the other ships so they should be on the Magic also. If it is really important to you make sure you head right up to the spa and purchase it. They only sell a limited number. They do offer tours of the rainforest room the first day to ensure you are interested in it still.

 

[ArielRae]

Our online check-in has been finalized.
We are finally no longer pending!
Final step Covid testing.



They sent an email informing us it was finalized. Below is what was in the email. I am surprised that they didn’t take this opportunity to remind guest to complete the Bermuda Authorization. So many people are going to show up not knowing about it especially if they recently booked this cruise. The last email Disney sent out about the Authorization was back in August.

Please check that you are Clear to Arrive

Dear —————

Good news! Your Online Check-In information has been reviewed and verified for your cruise aboard the Disney Magic on 2022-10-16.

When you arrive at your designated port arrival time, you will simply present the same documents you submitted during Online Check-In for a quick check. Once your boarding number is called, you will present your Port Arrival Form to board the ship.

You are required to bring all identification documents submitted during the Online Check-in process with you to the port. Guests who do not have these documents with them will not be able to sail.

In order to sail, every Guest must individually create an account associated with their reservation and upload their proof of vaccination and pre-trip COVID-19 test results to the Safe Passage or Sail Screen websites.

I’m not sure about that. I didn’t see anything in the Navigator, but I also didn’t even see the spa in general. Sorry!

Safe Passage keeps rejecting my docs are being too blurry. I'll keep sending them and hope I get better resolution. I spoke to them on the phone and if I can't get pre-approved for sailing I can just bring my cards to the port and get approved at the terminal. I'm hoping to avoid that situation.

Still waiting on Bermuda approval as well although my wife already received her approval from both authorities.

To help with the docs make sure you take the photos with your phone camera in a well lit area. Make sure there is no glare on them. If you have to, edit the photos on your phone to try and clear them up.

You can give Bermuda a call. I didn’t wait long on the phone and they can clear you right over the phone and email you your documents right then and there while your on the phone. 1-833-570-2594
