You can check in 45 days prior to your cruise.

Took my niece and nephew to their first amusement park! They loved it and are going again in 2 weeks!

Yes we are allowed. Anyone that's a repeat cruiser who's at or above Platinum level can attend.

I just went through this in June. It was going to be me, my niece, my Dad, and my Mom. Mom was feeling a bit off a few days leading up to the cruise. She took 2 home tests and immediately isolated. Both came back positive. Since the recommended test day for the CDC and the cruise test day fell on the same day, we decided to keep our appointments. Knowing what could happen, my Dad contacted our TA, told them what was happening, and placed a hold on Oasis in October as a contingency plan. Good thing he did: everyone in the party tested negative on the testing day...except Mom. We had our TA contact Royal, told them what was happening, and canceled our July cruise. Royal gave us no issues, and we were refunded our money and given OBC. Also, our hold on Oasis became a booking. Mom felt terrible, like she let everyone down, but honestly, I think Oasis is a much better match for my niece (she'll be 10 next month). None of us were mad at Mom, she didn't ask to get Covid. Plus, as disappointed as we were, we knew that the priority at that time had to be taking care of Mom. Mom is doing much better now. She's back at work, and the only lingering symptom is fatigue. She's even starting to pack for our October cruise already!

Mine was when I was 5 on the SS Meridian (now a sunken Celebrity ship). I remember having to step OVER the threshold to get in the cabin!

Nope, Cape Cod.

Find a hospital that has an on-site testing lab, call your doctor and pediatrician and tell them you need a test for travel. Tell them the date and where you want the orders sent. Then show up at any point that day to get the test. They do the rapid NAAT testing, which is accepted by Royal and you'll have the results in an hour. They can do your entire family in the same visit.

Saw this while on the boat cruise yesterday!

Counting a Habor Cruise, less than one day Not counting a Harbor Cruise, about 81 days

Technically I'm preparing for a Harbor Cruise for tomorrow, does that still count as a cruise? 🤔

If you like Royal, you'll like Celebrity. Since they're owned by the same company, Celebrity tends to be more upscale than Royal. Our TA has advised AGAINST booking with MSC, as they tend to cancel reservations without explanation. I was booked on Davina, followed all their rules, and about 3 months before I was due to sail and they canceled without telling us why.

Everything for the Check In Process can be printed from your Cruise Planner on the RCI website. You can also complete the forms online either on the computer or app.

Well. I found out yesterday that I'm getting some company on both my cruises next year! Sophie doesn't know this yet, but she's coming on my February cruise (this is her Christmas present) and another friend of mine is joining me next October on Celebrity Summit to the ABC Islands!

Formal nights really aren't that formal.

Anthem had them in April.

Not much today, I had to work this weekend so I brought in some breakfast for my residents before their Bingo game. It's been almost 100 degrees here all week so we're all kind of tired.

84!

In NJ in April, they were STRICT! Now if you arrive a few min. early (say 11:15 for an 11:30 check in), fine. I heard porters sending people to the back of the line for trying to jump the line.

Why bother bringing it when there's an arcade on the ship?

It also may depend on the performer's schedule abd when they change ships. I've been on cruises where an act was only offered one night and then saw them changing ships the next day in port.

There's huge differences, and I'm going to cover that on my YouTube channel, especially with the CDC now announcing that they're dropping the Cruise Line program they had for COVID. I've cruised pre-COVID, during COVID, and apparently now after COVID. My next cruise is in 3 months, so it will be interesting to see the changes.

Jamie's Italian Grille is EXCELLENT, some of the best Italian food I've ever had! I'm intrigued by Wonderland, so I'll have to try that. As far as "Cruise Diet", I just lost over 50lbs on WW (53.5lbs to be exact), so I think I'm good!

We canceled via Cruise With Confindence. The person in the party did end up testing positive, so we canceled and rebooked for October. Although the person felt incredibly guilty, they followed all CDC Guidelines and are doing much better now. The only lingering symptom is fatigue.

At least that's what happened to us. We rebooked in October and applied the FCC towards that.

45 days, so for my cruise leaving in October, the earliest I can check in is September 1st.
