Yes. Dh did it that way.

We did 10:30 checkin on Liberty and they sent you straight to muster station. Quick. Just make sure you watch the video before or they will go through it with you. It shows on the app that you've each completed it.

On Jewel in April docked in Cozumel did teams meeting. Used surf and stream. Worked fine. Did b2b and the 2nd was a TA. Wifi was spotty at best.

I email mbayley@rcci.com and get a response within 2 days. They're in Miami.

Ship's free wifi is used. On my paper cruise compass for today they ask you to scan to get departure form. I wonder how you scan that if you are already using your phone?

Going online and trying to read it on your phone is another thing.

What they want you to do is scan a QR code and read the cruise compass that way. Use your fingers to make it big enough to read and zoom in on various sections. Not easy.

Understand. Matter of principle.

Don't want to carry phone around. Doesn't usually fit in my pants pockets. Means carrying a bag to put in.

They're trying it on the Liberty and we rebelled. Getting paper. Had to make GS work to find the sheet with officers listed. Made them take my complaint about going green. They're still leaving ads in the cabins. The app isn't always correct. Not sure about scanning the QR code. Dh finally agreed to taking his phone but folding a piece of paper is still easier than dragging my phone along.

Have you emailed? That's usually the quickest way. Mbayley@rcci.com

On Liberty now. All of the crew seems to be wearing masks.

We've had some that were great, some didn’t even notice but when one was bad, it was bad. Usually it was when they got things mixed up or ignored requests that were standard with other CDs.

Agree. Tested shortly after midnight, went to bed, and now can start our trip.

No, check protocols again. Depends on vaccination status and length of cruise.

Yes. Which is funny when it's cdt here! As long as it shows tomorrow's date we're fine. Done this 3 times, 2x from home with Florida sailings and once in our hotel in Amsterdam in May to fly home. Used emed tests each time. No problems.

Just looked at Royal's website. Instructions for vaccinated on cruises 6 or more days says tests within 3 days. The policy change on September 5th is no testing for cruises less than 10 days. It also is in my instructions on the app on my phone

Our instructions from Royal for our cruise as vaccinated we can test 3 days before sailing

We're going to test tonight after midnight central time for our LIberty Sunday cruise.

I think the issue is getting off early in the US.

9660 or any aft balcony. Prefer deck with cabins above and below.

Buy something using the card. Unless I'm wrong it's 5 yrs not using the card at all.

When I tried to download a previously used photo in January it was rejected....wrong size. They took photos at the pier. No problem.

Using a helicopter has risks associated with it. Others with more knowledge can explain it better than I can.

I'm a senior and use a smart phone and have checkedin using my phone. Despite that I often use my laptop to do checkin. Checkin is much easier now since they won't have to upload their vaccine card. Also don't worry about uploading a photo. They'll take picture at the pier. They can watch the muster video on their cabin TV. Then they go to muster station to checkin and see the life jacket. If you're using a travel agent they might be able to assist with checkin..
