My understand is that if the kid tests positive, he can’t get on the ship. They have to check him at the cruise terminal and pick him up when they return. No?

 haha zeke i wonder if we are related hahah. yes if he tests positive we leave him there, just kidding hahah.  we would test 72 hours before the trip so we would still be in texas if he tested positive.  then it looks like cruise line is also testing before boarding. the website says "Royal Caribbean guests age 16 and older must complete all doses of their COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days before their sailing.  Guests under the age of this requirement don’t need to be vaccinated and will receive a SARS-Cov-2 test before boarding" .  i have the cruise on hold until next week and then it has to be paid in full. my parents said they would come too so i would have help. my husband says he is not using his vacation days for somewhere we have been before. but last time we did alaska was on HAL Oosterdam in 2016 so this will be alot different haha. 

Hi everyone!  I am thinking about going on Ovation Alaska Cruise Sep 3-10th 2021  with my 1 year old son ( covid baby born Aug 2020) . it will be his first trip EVER. is this a crazy idea? hahah. i like this trip because its over labor day so less vacation days from work for me, and its on the ovation which is such a cool ship.  and with everyone onboard being vaccinated or negative covid test, seems like it might be safe for my little one?? Thoughts?? i tried to ask the cruise line if the nursery onboard would be open or things like that, but they dont know yet. I could wait to book until after the test voyages are completed, but the price is so good right now.  payment is due in full by next week. worst comes to worst if it cancels i take the 125% for another trip hahah
