This is copied from my edocs: Mandatory Safety Briefing All guests must attend the mandatory safety briefing (also known as: Muster/Assembly Drill) and follow all health and safety instructions issued by the Captain as part of the mandatory safety announcements. Upon embarkation, guests will have a window of several hours during which they must (a) review essential safety information and (b) report to their designated muster station. On certain vessels, guests are encouraged to use our patented eMuster™ system which allows for the review of essential safety information by viewing a safety video via our mobile app or stateroom myTV interactive systems (applicable ships). Guests who do not complete the safety video portion of the muster requirements via eMuster™, or who are otherwise unable to review essential safety information upon embarkation, will be required to participate in a brief safety presentation upon arrival at their designated muster station. The mobile guest application is available for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store

Thanks for allowing us to come along on your cruise. Hope your shoulder gets better soon. Safe travels home.

Hopefully as you board the Liberty tomorrow, you will have an amazing cruise with no more mishaps.🍹

Thanks for letting us go along on your cruise and Island adventure. Beautiful photos and enjoyed the trip. Safe travels home.

I asked same question, and it was explained to me in post #35

Let me try to understand this. If you each book solo, you each get double points and that total is added together with the points you already have. For example, if we now have 325 points and would each book our own cabin for 7 nights, we would each get double points or 14 each with a total of 28 which would be added to the 325 we already have. Is this right??

You are correct. No more free happy hour drinks in the lounge. Diamond gets 4 drinks, Diamond + get 5 and pinnacle gets 6. Each day they do not accumulate. Use them or lose them each day. You can use them through out the day at any bar, lounge or restaurant.

Yes. I thought that if kids were right across hall or next to your cabin they could be booked in their own cabin. Getting extra key works, though.

All cruises leave from US and return to same US home port. I will be taking our ID, birth certificates and marriage license in case there is a problem. I will immediately be applying for our new passports on return in Feb. We know this is our fault, but even expedited, we would not have passports back in time. We are not flying, so that will not be a problem. Would only become problem if we had to get off ship because of illness or accident while in foreign port. Thanks for all comments and advice.

We always cruise in February. We do this to get away from the cold weather. Usually do a b2b or 3. Yes, the weather is cold when we leave but warms up in a day or 2. I agree about CoCo Cay. the water is chilly in ocean and just too cold in pool, ymmv.

This is why I am not getting ours renewed until after we return close to the end of Feb. 2023. We have cruises in Nov., Dec., and Feb. I know Royal recommends having 6 months before passport expires, they expire Mar. 2023. No way can we take the chance new passports will be back on time. As a precaution, we are also taking our ID, birth certificates and marriage license. We have cruised long enough to know better, but time just snuck up on us. First thing we will do when we return in Feb., is to send for new passports. The last couple times we did check in, I got the statement that Royal recommends 6 months before expiration.

Enjoyed being on the Oasis again thru your review. thanks

We have done the cruise out of Baltimore multiple times, and I believe it takes about 9-10 hours to get out of the bay. might be shorter, not really sure, just know when we go to bed casino is not open.

That will never happen again. IT probably have it coded to double check all prices..

Since you have been on the Grandeur, you know how great the crew is. They are the same on the Enchantment. We will also be on her in Feb. Maybe we will see you onboard.

It is best to have both check-ins to show security if you ae bringing additional wine for second cruise. Sometimes they let us keep 4 bottles, other times they take the 2 extra bottles and deliver it to our cabin the last night of first cruise.

That was a great offer. 🍹🍸🍷 Got to use it on a 12 night cruise and then covid hit and cancelled our other 3 cruises with the same offer.☹️

This^^ My DIL's mom, who is now in her 90"s, had her doctor write a note about her issues and my DIL does not have to buy a package for her mom.

Diamond-- 4 drinks per day Diamond plus-- 5 drinks per day Drinks up to $13. You pay difference if over $13. Never been charged for any difference. YMMV Your daily drinks do not carry over to the next day. Use them or lose them.🍹

That is why we don't cruise when kids are out of school.

Mine weren't the iHealth this time. I got BinaxNOW that has 2 test in the box. I don't think this type can be proctored.

Thanks for your report on what happens while in quarantine. Sorry you and Mike came down with the Covid. At least the two of you had a great time on the previous cruise and your husband didn't test positive until the last days of this cruise. Hope the two of you are feeling much better now that you are home with the fur babies. Speedy recovery.
