Has anyone had any experience of having to cancel a cruise after applying a gift card to their balance?  Would you receive "credit" of some sort from Princess?

Thanks for all the helpful information. I used "assume" and "possibly" because I know everything is subject to change. 😀

I did look at the pevvesseltraffic website but only saw 7 days out. Now that I see the search option, I found out what I was looking for. Enchanted is leaving from terminal 2 and returning to 21. Sky is leaving from Terminal 2 and returning to 2.

I'll check with Guest Services once onboard and see if they have a disembarkation category for going to Sky.

Next month, we will be leaving on Enchanted Princess, terminal 2, I'm assuming we will return there. Once we return, will board Sky Princess the same day at possibly terminal 21. Does Princess have a shuttle that will take you from one Princess ship to another? Or, should I plan on Uber/Lyft.  TIA.

Thanks for your input. I think you are probably right with this being a single trip. I have time before I get another annual policy so I'll do some investigating.

When looking at a Provider to quote for an annual policy, "Trips Per Year" is asked. If taking three 10 day cruises in a row (different ships, no days separating them) is this considered 3 trips or 1? Thanks.

Last week on Mariner, we choose morning cleaning. Our cabin attendant told us he would take care of the sofa bed in the evening. Didn't even have to ask.

Thanks for the alert. My Royal bookings were the same price as when I booked, but my Celebrity Reflection sailing in 02/24 was 1/3 off for Tuscan Grill.  Saved $42

We got off Vision 02/06 and the internet was fast even on a lower deck in an inside cabin. So I'm guessing it has Starlink.

Thank you everyone for the very helpful information. It sounds doable and hopefully will be in January.

We are going to do something a bit unusual. Going from Odyssey in PE to Grandeur in MIA and back to PE for Vision giving us 23 days in a row. 😊 DH was not a fan of the B2B last year because of the repeating entertainment so we'll see how he likes changing ships. 😁

A while back, I thought there was a thread indicating Royal had transportation available if you were disembarking a ship in FLL and boarding another one of their ships in MIA the same day. I recall someone indicated to check with Guest Services mid week and they would arrange it. I’ve searched and can’t find the thread. Am I having a false memory?  🙂 Otherwise, we’ll take Uber/Lyft from one port to the other. TIA

Is Visby, Sweden a tender port? 

 

I don't see anything about tendering on the cruise website.  I did a quick Google search and it appears it IS a tender port.

 

Any insight is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

This may depend on which ship you are on. We were on Voyager of the Seas and docked there on  08/19/22.  However, a NCL ship was tendering.

I see this has been answered in another post.

Does anyone know if CPH is still offering arriving passengers free PCR tests at P5? We will be sailing on Voyager of the seas next week and next a test prior to boarding. Thanks.

Does anyone have experience taking this shore excursion through Royal Caribbean? The description does not say but I'm guessing it is guided. Is the forest trail rough to ride on?  It is labeled as strenuous. Did you find it strenuous?  Thanks.

No because I get it and use it every time it comes out. 

Good to know. 👍

For the folks who don't see the offer, one thing to note is that you'll only have 100 Offers on your card at a time. Add a bunch of other offers, then check back tomorrow (e.g. if you add 10 offers today, you'll have 10 new offers tomorrow). I had NCL yesterday, so added it and several others, just to "make space". Today the RCCL offer had been added, so I grabbed that. I'm hoping that the Celebrity offer will show up tomorrow.

I had the NCL offer but not Royal. I added 10 offers this morning and received new offers but sadly not for Royal. Maybe because I did the offer a few months ago. Thanks for the suggestion though.

We are interested in possibly renting bicycles near the cruise port. Is there anyplace close to the port that rents bikes? Is it a good idea to travel by bike around the city?

Thanks for the information. If you dock elsewhere, would you report back?

Does anyone have 2022 information on where Royal Caribbean docks in Riga?  Thanks.

Looks like OnPoint has now dropped their price to $14.99.  👍 Meeting the competition I'd assume.

According to their website, you receive a lab certified certificate good for travel and cruises. I don't think Royal cares what company you use as long as it meets the requirements listed in their FAQ.   I liked the fact you could reschedule your appointment and use any device that connects to the internet. The trip I'm looking for is not till August so I'll keep this option in mind.

I've been looking for options on returning to the US from Europe. Ran across this company.

For OTC kits that have 2 per box, you only need the aluminum pouch unopened.

WHAT DO I NEED FOR THE VIRTUAL APPOINTMENT?

All you need is a device that can access the internet, an internet connection, an Over The Counter unopened home COVID-19 test, and an active email account. Please be sure to have your test with you and only open the aluminum pouch when you are ready to do the test and are connected to your virtual appointment.

This is the change for 08/10

That would be nice since I'm on next week too though I don't want to see people miss their vacation. 

Currently on Harmony.  Capacity at 2800 this week. Next week 4800. This is from our cabin steward FWIW.
