What ship were you on? I am hoping we get our tote bags and towels too!

We didn’t have good luck with KLM, they cancelled our flight in May.

Exactly, tip because you want to tip because someone made your cruise extra special!

You can use the tests from emed: https://www.emed.com/ , which includes the ones that are purchased through Optum, they are the same tests.

That is how we have been testing for our last 10 cruises with no problems.

All of the above tests are proctored. You can use emed tests/Binax now and the federal ones. They can both be proctored.

We are also waiting for our Anthem block. We did receive our Ovation block 2 months ago.

Sorry, we didn’t get an invite either.

Thank you for all of the information. We are arriving after 8, so I think for us we will just get an Uber. I really hope that the shuttle works out for you.😀🤞. We haven’t cruised out of Galveston in at least 10 years, so I will make sure to keep that in mind going forward. Thanks again!

I just priced renting a car for just 2 days before our cruise. It was $110.00 for each day. We will just plan on taking Uber or a shuttle.

We liked them our first time. We just didn’t enjoy them enough to go back a second time. We did enjoy the Book on the Anthem, we went back a second time.

We have cruised for the last 25 years and I don’t remember ever seeing trays in the Windjammer, but I am certain I haven’t seen any in the last year.

We were on a B2B at the end of June. I am sorry that you would be stressed with having to do a temperature check. If I had a fever I wouldn’t be going on an excursion, or getting off the ship at a port.

I would be fine with testing at the port, but I prefer doing it a day or 2 before. We travel quite a distance to most ports and if I have COVID, I want to know before I leave home and get on a plane, go to a hotel, etc.

They never do. Why would you be concerned about that?

We also submit right after we book. Here is the link if you do not have it: https://rclshareholderbenefit.questionpro.com/

This is what we do also!

We cruised at the end of May to Greece and Croatia. We were never tested at any of the ports, just 1 day prior to our cruise.

We have cruised 10 times in the last year and we haven’t seen them on any of the ships.

We have also had several changes to flights, but they always make it right for us. I am so sorry that this happened to you and I hope you are able to get it all sorted out, so that you can enjoy your cruise.😀

Absolutely! If there is a cancelled flight they will look for a new one for you. Also, if you happen to cancel your cruise they will not charge you.

The loyalty ambassador can update it in the system manually, just make sure you stop by and ask. 😀

You are so welcome! Enjoy your cruise and try to not stress. We always do the Binax emed tests, they have been the easiest for us.

Questions Q Where should I go to get a pre-cruise COVID-19 test? What types of tests are accepted? Where do I submit the results? A Accepted Tests for Guests Sailing from North America (U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada) Below are details about which tests are accepted to board the ship. The type of test you need for your cruise, as well as the testing window, can vary depending on your vaccination status. If you are unclear on test requirements your for your cruise, visit our main COVID-19 testing FAQ to learn more. Accepted Types of Tests and Results There are two common types of diagnostic COVID-19 tests A molecular test, also called a PCR test or NAAT test – our testing requirements call this a “PCR test” An antigen test, also called a rapid antigen test – our testing requirements call this an “antigen test" The test must be supervised by a health professional, such as a doctor, pharmacy technician, public health worker, or telehealth professional. Telehealth testing at home is only accepted for vaccinated guests, and only when it is conducted under live video supervision. Learn more about acceptable telehealth tests including our home test kit. You must receive a valid results document from your test provider that includes the name of the lab that processed the test, the lab’s CLIA Lab Number or Certification Number, the address of the lab, your name, the date the test was taken, type of test, and your negative result. This can be a printed document, email, or telehealth app notification. Fully handwritten doctor’s notes (such as those written on a prescription pad) will not be accepted. Minimal handwritten components (such as a check mark on a “negative” box) are acceptable as long as the other required information is printed on the document. Tests We Do Not Accept Antibody tests are not accepted, as they do not detect a current infection. Home test kits that are self-administered at home, and not supervised live by a telehealth professional, are also not accepted. Supervised telehealth tests are not accepted for unvaccinated guests – only for vaccinated guests. More on Abbott Brand Tests We get a lot of questions about Abbott tests, the most commonly available COVID-19 test brand. Here’s what’s accepted. Any Abbott brand test administered on site by a pharmacy technician or other health professional is accepted. This includes the common Abbot ID NOW test administered by many pharmacies. The test provider must provide you with a proper results document (no handwritten notes). The Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Card Test, which is taken at home and supervised by a telemedicine professional, is accepted. It must be taken under live video supervision. Learn more about our Abbott telehealth home test kit. The Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test, if taken at home and not supervised by a telehealth representative, is NOT accepted. Where to Get Your Test COVID-19 testing is very common nowadays. Most local pharmacy chains offer it, and most county or state websites can help you find a local public testing site. You can also go to a doctor’s office, diagnostic lab, or telehealth provider to get your test. For example, Quest Diagnostics offers appointments at over 1,500 locations in the U.S. with testing at no cost if you are eligible. For sailings that require a pre-cruise test, you will be asked to take the test no more than 2 to 3 days before your sail date, depending on your age and vaccination status. Learn more about how to calculate which days you can take your test. Make sure that your selected test provider can provide you a valid results document in time for your travel. Providing Your Results On Boarding Day You will present your negative test result at the terminal upon boarding. Print out your result if possible for easy access, as you may need to present it at various points. We will also accept a valid results document presented on your phone. If you get a positive test result on your pre-cruise test, please call us at 1-800-256-6649 so we can rework your cruise plans.

No, I haven’t but we still had a great cruise. Enjoyed the views, wildlife and hikes that we have done.
