Yes.

I am wondering about the new CDC guidance to test and quarantine for 10 days if positive, all asymptomatic vaccinated individuals that are exposed to a person that is positive. That could set off a trigger of quarrantines among vaccinated on a cruise.

Do you have a link to that?

Does anyone know what they are doing for contract tracing? Celebrity just had a guest test positive today. They have printouts with people's faces on them and are looking for guests

I'd love to know the answer to this too. Using Magic Bands would have been a great place to start because they already track location and we already use them in the parks. I feel like not using this technology is a wasted oppportunity.

But I mean that's to be expected right? We're going to see this happen from time to time? No reason for me to panic and think this is the end of cruising or anything foolish like that right?

With all due respect I expected restrictions when they restart, not sure why anyone (not saying you in particular) are surprised.

Oh - I don't think I was clear - he is unhappy about sailing with unvaccinated adults. He clearly had some idea in his head that adults would need to be vaccinated to sail (no idea why). So he was hoping for more (not less) restrictions.

It's just a recommendation.

Are those free or a charge just like going from the airport? Its charged right?

Deciding on what to do for our September cruise.

In the past, transfers to and from Walt Disney World have worked exactly like transfers to and from the airport, with a charge per person.

 

[katmigordon]

How much is the charge?

$39 per person each direction

How late would this get us TO the port? With concierge I'd like to take advantage of it to get on the boat as quickly as possible.

Traditionally, if you caught one of the first transfer buses from the airport, you would be among the first inside the port. Covid procedures are probably going to cause some changes with that system, though.

The transfer buses from Disney resorts have always gone on the late side, so are not a good option for someone wanting to board asap.

My experience is that the transfers from the Resorts gets you there later in the day. The time stamp on my photos of arriving at the port are 1:00 PM.

 

[ruadisneyfan2]

Maybe I missed this before but if you book your next trip onboard there is a 20 percent discount now? We sail on the Sept 04 Fantasy and that would be nice to grab.

How long do we have until it must be used? I am considering moving our WBPC from March 2022 to the next year but who knows if there will even be any more PC sailings? Eventually, they will become more rare.

Too late for our tastes, somebody said that lyfts were harder to come by these days - would it be easier to rent a taxi from the airport to cocoa beach?

Sorry, I can't help you there. You could look into getting a limo or similar to take you to the terminal if you want complete control on your departure time. (perhaps this is what you meant by renting a taxi)

1. Before the shutdown, airport transfers could get you to the port before it officially opened. If you're coming from the airport, timing isn't a concern.
2. I have heard that 1:00 is the earliest PAT. The time difference between resort transportation and other forms may have disappeared.
