CDC Issues Negative COVID-19 Test Result Requirement

All air passengers arriving from outside the United States will now be required to have a negative COVID-19 test, not more than 3 days old, before they are allowed to board the plane. This applies to all passengers, including US citizens.

Be sure you understand this requirement, and find a place to have it done, before arriving at the airport.

While this may be difficult to do when you have a full schedule, you will need to take the time to do this, so make sure you schedule it in.

The Largest Cruise Ships

The Largest Cruise Ships

Wayne and I were able to cruise on one of the largest cruise ships in the world last week! We were attending a conference on the ship, so it was work. I know, I know, it's hard to feel sorry for someone who is "working" while cruising. I don't blame you. We were on...

Cruising From a Teen’s Point of View – Part V

This is from the point of view of a first time teen cruiser. This is my review of my Seven-Night Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas cruise. This is my first cruise, so my rating is not a comparison to other cruises, but how I enjoyed everything. Food: 10/10 - The...

The Disney Magic

The Best Cruise Line

We are often asked which is the best cruise line. Well, it all depends on you. Ok, so you think that's a non-answer. But think about it, not everyone enjoys the same things you do. Some people like tons of active activities like swimming, water slides, basketball,...

COVID-19 “Vaccines” and Travel

If you are "vaccinated" or not, there are rules for travel, especially foreign travel. Some countries require a "vaccination" (sometimes with a negative test, sometimes no test is necessary), sometimes they only require a negative test or proof of recovery in a...

To Cruise or Not to Cruise, That Is the Question

It seems that just when you think you know the rules, everything changes again. If you are like me, you want to get on a cruise ship. I prefer to not cruise in the summer, so I'm not planning to cruise anytime real soon. However, I sometimes wonder when I should...
