Post-COVID First vacation and cruise since 2019

So like everyone else our plans were put on hold. My husband was laid off due to COVID but has a new job but other than that we escaped the virus relatively unscathed.

Our 2020 trip to Europe was canceled as well as our September 2020, Europe 2021 and June 2021 vacations. RCL and Celebrity both announced they would cruise out of the Caribbean in June 2021. I spoke to my husband and he was ready to jump at the chance. So we are almost to St. Maarten and our first cruise since September 2019 is getting ready to begin.

There were some hoops including the vaccines and multiple tests and stressing over the timing of the tests and required authorizations but we are almost there.
