Last minute details to take care of before your cruise

 I am on a Princess cruise in 9 days and Princess keeps sending reminders to do the following:

- Because my cruise is longer - 16 nights - you must have at least one covid booster - this is new so be aware on longer cruises the cruise lines are upping the requirement

- I have to have an antigen or PCR test no longer than 2 days before the cruise (mine is booked)

- take a carry on with at least 2 days clothes as the airports are still having baggage issues and make sure the apple itag is in the luggage to be checked 

- re-check your excursions - mine requires mosquito spray for Greenland and a coat as it has a high of 10 degrees celcius in summer

- check to see if the cruiseline upgraded you - no such luck on my part

- pack (and then take less) than what you planned

- wear your heavy shoes on the plane/1st day and pack the lighter ones in your carry on

- print out an extra copy of the flight and cruise details for those at home 

- start to get excited (even if your worried re covid, the airline issues etc)

Hope this helps
