    From Seattle news:

     

    More than half a dozen cruise passengers say they were not allowed to board a Royal Caribbean vessel because they are not vaccinated.

     

    But they insist the cruise line told them all they needed was a negative COVID-19 test.

     

    That cruise ship set sail Friday night. And it left behind some very upset passengers. They say Royal Caribbean made them feel anything but welcome.

    I am on board Serenade OS now.  Boarded about 2 hours ago.  There were 4 people that had to get rides into town to get tested, that we saw while waiting.  However, RCL isn’t following all their “rules”.  A older couple behind us in line had their test on Thursday - 4 days before sailing.  They told the rep that they were “too busy” to go 3 days before.  The rep left to talk to someone, and came back and said it was fine and they were good to go.  A large number of us raised concerns and told the rep that they should have to go into town and get tested again.  We were told that she talked to someone at corporate and RCL gave the ok for a 4 day test period, for this couple.  

  2. My DH and I will be on the Grand Princess November cruise to Hawaii from San Francisco.  I would like to order the Ultimate Balcony Dinner, but was wondering if they bring in a larger table or do we have to eat on the little balcony table already in place?  We are in a BC balcony cabin.

    Why don't you just buy a transport chair?  My husband has used one for years because they are lightweight, easy to push, fold up, and are easy to get on and off a tender.

    They are not expensive.

    I am looking into purchasing a transport chair because I could then use it for our day in San Francisco.  I have a knee trike, but it doesn't fold up and can be a PITA getting around on it.  

    My DH usually carries a backpack on vacations and we are looking into purchasing a folding camping chair that would fit inside the pack.  This way when I don't have the wheelchair with me, I will have a place to sit and get off my foot.  I won't have to rely on the Princess crew to assist me while waiting in line for our excursions or wheeling me down the dock to the taxi area.

     

     

     

  4. My DH and I are sailing on the Grand Princess to Hawaii on 11/18.   I am having foot surgery next week and may still be limited on my walking/standing ability during the cruise.  We are going to rent a wheelchair to have on the ship and in port if needed.   I know I won't be able to take the chair on the tender, but I was wondering if Princess staff would use one of their chairs to wheel me to a meeting point/end of the dock for excursions or could I use my rental and leave it with a staff member to return it to the ship.  I would either send my husband for the chair to pick me up or call for assistance.   For the excursions we are doing, I will just do my best on my own.  

     

    When we have sailed on RCL they had wheelchair service at the ports and you called them when you were ready to be picked up.   I am hoping that Princess has a similar option.
