Every single one of my drinks on my last 4 cruises has shown up as a 0 charge.

As long as you are on an Oasis class ship then yes.

Just the first

The big 3 will make their decisions well before any of those lines start sailing under the new protocols

You can use them in the dining room

I added that It really doesn't mean much as their first US sailings isn't until November

Yes from the US. They used to be part of Royal which explains the website delay.🤣 I guess it doesn't currently mean much though as their first US sailing isn't until November https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/27872-azamara-announces-removal-of-embarkation-covid-19-testing.html

All early disembarkation worldwide was stopped last year during Covid. It is no longer allowed https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/different-departure-port-city

Sometimes I wish I had a hearing aid I could turn off to tune out the kids squabbling🤣 After 92 years shes more than earned the right to do whatever the H*** she wants.

Definitely 16 https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-activities/solarium

Azamara was the first to drop testing and that was 2 days ago on the 19th

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that line.

The doors are inside the room. You are thinking of the connecting family suites where there was a central hallway.

It used to be dll owed but as already reported dinner covid it is no longer allowed. You will not be allowed off the ship with your luggage. You need to change your flights.

It's only the balcony that is larger, not the cabin. Ovation is an anomaly in the Q class of ships in thet she has a large number of her deck 7 balconies classified as obstructed view. These same cabins on other Q class ships are classified as regular view. We had one of these last week and would definitely book one again especially as they were significantly less expensive.

While there is nothing wrong with Viking they are just at the lower end of most river cruise companies in terms of what they offer. They are one of the biggest and most well known though.

Yes. With a positive PCR test from no more than 90 days prio and a COR you do not need to take a re boarding test. That is the sole use of a COR for Royal.

COR can only be used to avoid the pre cruise testing. It does not exempt anyone from having to be fully vaccinated

You do not have to test negative in order to get a certificate of recovery. That is the whole point of getting a certificate of recovery. Once you get a positive PCR test you should be able to get a Dr to fill out the certificate of recovery if you are no longer showing any symptoms and it has been 10 days since your positive test. The whole point of getting the certificate of recovery is to avoid having to test in the future when there is a possibility that you could continue to test positive for 90 days after being initially infected. Royal will allow you to board their ships if you have the positive PCR test and a certificate of recovery as long as the PCR test is within 90 days of sailing. This avoids having to test pre cruise.

Tauck is definitely a step above Viking. Another that is highly recommended is Scenic

They are doing price adjustments if you are before final payment as they have always done. Just not after final payment

Thanks for the update

Same here. Got my number as soon as I turned Diamond years ago but haven't made use of it. Maybe one day when we cruise without the kids.

If you booked prior to March 31, 2022 then the price drops up to 48 hours to sailing will apply. If booked after March 31'st they won't

After you hit Elite on Celebrity you need to call Royal and get them to match your status to Diamond, it will not happen automatically
