No issues arriving or leaving on the 5/29 sailing.

2 calendar days, not 48 hours. You can test anytime on Wednesday for a Friday cruise.

Those would be worse than my live reports... or at least in the wrong type of forum. 🙈 I fully expect the main pool to be a zoo but that's fine, we don't go near it. We barely use our pool here in Florida. Hoping to just grab a couple seats in the Solarium for an hour or two a few days when we're not on Cococay but that's about it as far as lounging goes. I'd rather be eating. 🤣 I don't *think* our personal routine will be majorly affected by the "party vibe" but won't know until we're onboard.

I've only done one short cruise in my life and it was b/c we needed exactly 4 points to hit Diamond. They're not for us either. This is a bit of an experiment. We were already on Harmony on 5/29 and between the prices and itineraries this summer out of PC (I live too close to be bothered driving to Ft Lauderdale), I came up with this idea b/c there was a good TA friends & family price (by summer PC standards at least) and we do love Cococay. Won't be getting off the ship in Nassau. We also haven't sailed anything but Oasis class in a while, other than in Alaska 4 years ago when we weren't there for the ship, so I wanted to see how we'd feel about Indy. We were on Freedom once and loved it along with some Voyager class ships before there was an Oasis. Lastly, we're big fan's of the Original Giovanni's Table and we haven't tried Playmaker's yet so we have those to look forward to. I'll try to post a review when we get back. I've tried starting love reports in the past but they don't seem to work for me. I'm too long-winded (as you can tell).

👻👻👻 👻👻 👻👻 👻👻 Who ya gonna call??? Joking aside, we're about to do a 3 and 4-night B2B on Indy in 8 days to hit Cococay twice as well (amongst other reasons).

Totally understand. We did the free version (love the snack shack food), then had generous family get us an over the water cabana which was absolutely amazing, now going back to Cococay twice on a B2B in 8 days to do the free version again. We loved both versions.

My Walgreens printout had a CLIA #, not that it matters.

Multiple reports of people using RT&T with no issues. Don't sweat it. I used Walgreens in May and all they cared about at the port was the date taken and the negative result.

Over the water... I was tempted to swim around shouting your name but, you know, that wouldn't be mysterious. 🤣

RT&T uses Microsoft Teams. You can either download it (if need be) or just click the provided link and it will open in a browser. I didn't ask about phone b/c I knew I was going to use a laptop. FWIW, they have a live chat feature if you'd like to ask questions. They were very friendly and responsive when I chatted with them.

Sorry to hear that. Our server was amazing (same exact day as you know) and brought us food and drinks non-stop in a very quick manner. We thought he was one of the best staff members we came across. He even got us the chicken sandwiches, mozz sticks, and funnel cakes from the snack shack in addition to high end beach club food b/c we asked based on our previous visit.

Yes, I am leaving on a Friday. You are correct that you can't test before Friday.

Good to hear. We are using them next Wednesday and I had already asked in advance if the same proctor could handle both my wife & I and the answer was of course yes, just let the proctor know.

Working now. Yeah, figured it was one of the countless Royal IT glitches.

Thanks but I already posted that. Appreciate the response regardless. Not worried, just curious.

When click on the "view boarding pass" link under my next cruise (9 days out) in my account on the website, I'm getting a mostly blank page instead of the page with links to my set sail pass and luggage tags. Same issue in multiple browsers. Anyone else having this issue? Yes I know I can get my luggage tags from the docs PDF and I can get my set sail pass in the app, just curious.

You can always look at the current sailing in the app to give you a rough idea.

I saw one or two in the WJ on Harmony 5/29. Didn't notice any on the MDR or CK menu.

There is but I'm not sure what it is exactly. For specialty restaurants it says 2 hours in the calendar section of the app/cruise planner. Maybe it's listed under your MTD reservations?

No.

Yes.

We're definitely planning to have burgers there one night but I'll be in to try drinks early on.

I'm fairly introverted in real life but I'll see what I can do. If it gets me a free cookie I'll talk to him for an hour! 😁 She's a Suite Lounge concierge, right? It's only the DL for us this cruise. The suite on Harmony was a one time thing (which became a two time thing since my wife's parents booked us another family cruise on Wonder next June).

They definitely checked our test dates on Harmony out of PC on 5/29, twice in fact. Clearly this stuff varies greatly from port to port.
