FWIW, I'm fine with the 'contest' since Royal already invited us on the early test cruises

I’ve spent some time off CC, so excuse me if I missed this, but how did you get on the earlier cruises?

As someone who also had their 4-2-22 cruise on Brilliance canceled in this latest batch. There are options for different ships leaving a day or two later/before from different ports. I rebooked on a 7 night with Harmony leaving a day later. 

Well, my luck finally ran out and I got hit with a cancellation. So much for my 5 nights on Brilliance out of Tampa. 
 

Rebooked a 7 night out of PC on Harmony instead. 

July 30 - August 4. 
 

Sailing to Alaska from Seattle.

We have two B2B holiday sailings booked aboard Brilliance embarking from the Port of Tampa, the first B2B surrounding Thanksgiving and the second around New Years.  We reside in the Tampa area and haven’t seen any news coverage or public discussion regarding the return to cruising from Tampa.  As mentioned above, the Port of Tampa’s cruise schedule on its website now shows the first sailing to be Celebrity’s Paradise on 11/1/21.  
 

We remain optimistic cruises will return this fall, however remain puzzled that Royal or the other lines have yet to make any public announcements regarding Tampa.   

I’m assuming you mean Carnival Paradise.

Glad RCL is staffing it up for a test cruise.  It give me some home for our October cruise.

I heard they’re taking on roughly 1,400 crew in the next few days. 

Per Michael Bayley, Oasis will sail August 22-28, 2021 for her test voyage. 
 

Where she’ll be sailing from was not mentioned. 

Rumors were correct it seems. Now we’ll see what happens to Oasis, even though the writing is on the wall. 

Beautiful pic of her, and she’s already set her destination as Coco Cay for the 13th!

Keep it up, Bird! Feels like I’m there with you. 
 

Get some rest tonight. The big day is tomorrow.

You have a 0.01% chance of getting covid after being vaccinated.

You have a much, much higher chance of getting a false positive after taking a covid test.

False. 94.5% chance. 
 

and with that 5.5% chance, it’s just not worth it to Royal.

So RC now saying they don't trust vaccines.

 

Great messaging if you want to have fully vaccinated cruises.

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying at all. 
 

I think it’s more about them having no negative PR during this cruise especially. 

T-2 days until Adventure sails. Here’s a current view from the web cam as well as a few pictures from Instagram.

Kids have a 99.99% survival rate.

 

Pools are more dangerous.

OP was implying kids can’t die from COVID. Which is false even with your input. 

Well done, Royal!

yes I am.  Kids haven’t been dying so they should be allowed to go.  Older people have been so they should stay home.  

Kids have died from COVID. They’re not immune. 

Man oh man. I wish Royal Caribbean did this. Good job, Carnival. 

Sweet! Can’t wait to get my Royal Up email around the end of the year. 
 

How much do you plan on betting?

I wonder when the other RCCL ships will start having blue hulls. It still catches me off guard seeing Freedom half blue. 

A high res picture from her arrival today. 

We finally get a view of Adventure docked. 
 

Goodnight Adventure!

It would be nice if someone would move the camera!

I almost can’t blame them. They probably haven’t moved that camera in at least a year with the lack of cruises. 

She looks great. Looks like she’s going Nose-In while docking. 

UPDATE

Adventure currently receiving a water gun salute. 

4 days before her first voyage in over a year, Adventure is currently pulling into her new homeport.
