Free cappuccino every morning from the DL is one of my favorite perks. Different strokes...

me too! I love making iced coffee from there.

So there is no mention of actual check in time yet they randomly change checkin time.

 

It was said to be last night for me. I stayed up for the EST 12pm, my cruise port 12pm PST time, and for the ship time which was a random time in the pacific ocean. No check in was out there. Then now I am yet on another day of EST 12pm and nothing. Which is the end of the day my app said the checkin would occur.

 

So sick of being janked around.

so it sounds like you tried this the night before sail away maybe? If so that is a huge mistake. 

Or you tried on the 45 day mark, relax, you have plenty of time. 

i wanna get janked around...

they sign themselves in and out. the hours mirror adventure ocean that i recall. except it is open later. 

its ice breakers and stuff like that to get them to talk to each other so RC doesnt have to do all the work of entertaining them, they entertain themselves once they make friends. i also think that most ships have gaming systems. 

i wear heels but mostly wedges for added support and comfort. i never wear hose/tights anymore. if it is winter and too cold not to wear them, i will wear boots or just forgo the dress. i hate hose. 

I always get a new perfume on board. but when i was on in January they wouldnt allow testers so i didnt get anything. 

i absolutely do not wear them. it brings forth a memory of being forced to wear them when i waited tables when i was younger. it was an added expense that the men didnt have to deal with. 

Pantyhose are a horrible invention. everyone will either deal with my white legs or look away.🤪

We will be cruising Ovation in a couple of weeks and will have our first opportunity to try Fish & Ships.  I would guess it would be about the same as on other ships.  If you have tried Fish & Ships did you think it was good?  I love lobster but I have never tried a lobster roll.  Has anyone tried a lobster roll from Fish & Ships? Does anyone have a recent menu to post?

 

their fries are sooooo good!

Royal doesn't care who paid for the cruise, only whose butt was actually on the cruise.

If your DD has accrued 80 or more points on her own (meaning she has cruised that much, regardless of who paid), she is still Diamond.

If your DD didn't cruise that much, but was linked to your account before she turned 18yo AND you turned Diamond/achieved 80+ points before she turned 18yo, she is still Diamond, even if she herself doesn't have 80 points.

awesome! thank you. She is def diamond then. 

so my dd has sailed with me since 2006 and is diamond. she is now 20. does that mean that if she sails without me she isnt diamond just because i paid for the cruises?

The booster is a requirement if your last shot of your 2 shot series was over 270 days ago. If you finished your 2 shot series within 270 days, it is not a requirement. Similar for the few 1 shot folks.

so is this for everyone or only Europe sailings like someone else said?

Optum can kiss my tush. they will never get my money again. I just hope they give me the rest of my refund sometime this year. their inability to deliver my kits stressed me out to no end. 

I got a price reduction before final payment day at the beginning of November and still dont have it yet. I have already returned from my cruise. Anyone else have this issue? It is about $500 so I wanted to use it for the cruise. they said before I left that it was in process and i should get it on the cruise and that didnt happen. I then called again last week and they said it was in process. 

It gets old that they can take the money right away but to get it back shouldnt take this long. grrrr. 🤨

Wow! What ship was this and when was the cruise?

Enchantment 12/31 to 1/8

the debarkation morning we had to go to guest services because my mom's cc was hacked. while in line there were 4 people (not related or friends with each other) who had to be moved and quarantined because another person in their party tested positive. they we all PO'ed because no one brought them food or water since the day before and no luggage tags either. I would be HOT. Dont lock me in a room and not provide basic services! 

I ended up having caught it also but didnt realize until that morning that my symptoms were covid and not my auto immune issue.

Ordered from Emed 1/6/22. Order confirmed and approved 1/7/22.  Called 1/12/22  to check on delivery and was told it would be Friday. Called today and received an email saying the order was not processed within 7 days of the order date and therefore the order was canceled. I was welcome to go back to the website and order again but that I wouldn’t receive it in time for my trip on 1/21/22. What the hell! Now I’m trying to get and appointment for 3 of us at CVS or Walgreens. Of course I’m having NO luck 🤯😡😡

oh no! i hope it all wrked out.

The inventory being sent out now expires in Nov/Dec 2022.  I called them before I ordered to check.

Yes and they promised to send me test kits in time for my cruise. I will use another company next time. that was so stressful.

Wow! What a nightmare! I've been lucky... we ordered twice, and each time they came in 2 or 3 days.

yes, i hate being That Person but what do they expect? $200 in tests that werent delivered in time for my cruise. sure I am going again in May but i dont trust the expiration dates OR know what the protocols then will be.

Same.  My credit card company credited me and are going after them but I bet they'll fight it as well.

well I Karen'ed and escalated it and the manager approved it. we will see if it comes back or not. I did get an email confirmation though. 

We just got off on Saturday. My DD and I got COVID on board (or at port) because I got sick the last day. I didnt know it was covid because i have an auto immune thing that flares up and makes me feel like crap also. Luckily i stayed in the room because my dd tested positive the day we got home. 

We had aa blast and booked another one in May!

HELP…….we had our rapid test done this morning and was told we would receive an in mail.  No email came and I called them three times.  And three reps said they would send it and not yet.  We are suppose be on the Friday.  If we are able to get a test tomorrow would it still be exceptable.

i am freaking out also. i got my tests this morning. last week i got my results at 2pm. this week nothing yet. 

I am so sorry. i hope you get them back tonight also.

Literally took 20 hours to get here.  

I am so happy for you. mine must be a fluke and they lied. 

I got tested today but still dont have results. I will go to urgent care tomorrow if they dont come in by 4am

Ordered the at home tests from Royal's website this afternoon and already got a shipping confirmation.  Hope that information is correct.  I don't want to scramble to find rapid testing the day before we fly to Miami. 

i hope my issue is just a fluke.
