Are we likely to get any further information from Disney today ahead of booking opening tomorrow for CC members?
I was really exited to go but the fact there is no nursary has put us right off we love a wee visit to the rainforest room and polo but we wouldn’t be able to now
It should be noted that Viking have their own COVID test lab on board (I believe PCR) and will be testing PAX every day, so that is why they don't need vax. Not sure about MSC.
(You certainly got good value from the Multi-quote feature on that post! )

Just listening to the news this morning and they were saying how in the next 2 weeks they expect to start inviting the under 40s and below for their vaccinations so hope may not be lost for some
august/September dates to the people that were really wanting to sail. It was on good morning Britain with doctor Hillary encouraging the younger age groups to take up their invites.
See now I heard this the other day and thought I must have imagined it because on the same day they then said 45 and overs were being invited! I know in Wales we have been doing over 40s now for the last 2 weeks so definitely moving at a pace
I haven’t seen in any of the info online or on this forum, but does anyone know whether you are able to do a back to back cruise? My wife is looking to do the 20th July with her Mum and then 23rd July with me.
I have a query about gratuities. I know how you tip the key staff through your room bill, and at bars they add a percentage to the bill. This will all be in USD. What about room service? I'm guessing this will be needed a lot as there is no buffet available for breakfast or lunch. Are we all expected to grab a load of USD before sailing to be able to tip, or will they accept sterling? Would they even accept cash in these covid days or just add a couple of bucks to your room bill? (I must say that for this I wish we still had our pound notes, a suitable quantity of pound coins will weigh quite a bit!)

Has it been confirmed there will be no food in Cabanas? I read it that there will be no self serve buffet. They switched the self serve buffet to where they served you part way through the last Panama Canal cruise when everything was shutting down. This is what I have assumed will be happening on the U.K. cruises. Fingers crossed.I have a query about gratuities.

Pre-covid, it was normal to give $1-2 in cash for room service delivery gratuity. I vaguely remember signing a docket as well
yep, that's why I thought a fiver a bit much!Any room service, I would give them usd. A couple of dollars is appreciated.
It isn't clear what is happening. So how did it work when they served you - was it a fixed menu, or could you still have pretty much what you wanted, just someone went to get it for you rather than helping yourself?Has it been confirmed there will be no food in Cabanas?

Why do you not think they will be getting off? I remember the bus stops being full of staff whose rotas gave them that day off - room service delivery people will surely have a few hours in the morning when no one is onboard to pop into town and pick up a few things.
