Follow the instruction from the testing company. Did each person have to do their own registration for this or per cabin? And what about young children?

Thank you for joining the Bird on Royal Caribbean's first North American cruise after the pandemic shutdown. The Royal Come Back was a great success. Royal Caribbean executed all aspect of this first cruise to perfection. And I am serious when I say perfection. And the cruise greatly exceeded our expectations. Thanks so much for your great review of your cruise Bird and all the wonderful photos -- it was really great to go along with you on the journey. Safe travels....

The medical company asks for a few details (address, phone, email) to create a record for the test. Edited June 20, 2021 by BirdTravels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDCA Posted June 20, 2021 #1133 Share Posted June 20, 2021 How exceptionally bad was the wi-fi? If one needed to work onboard - think email, Microsoft Word documents - how possible would this be? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's risk in almost everything you do in life and I think the risk of a using a USB port on a cruise ship is less than in a public place like an airport. Risk is the combination of the probability of something happening and the impact should it happen. The probability of a USB port problem on a cruise ship is low. You'd need to determine if that outweighs the impact of something on your phone getting compromised. thanks for the feedback and info.

That was the point of the post I responded to. I know private lessons have been available in the past. What? Oh no. We used to love to sit in the flo-rider grandstands and watch during the 'free time. The best part was the "new standups." I finally tried several times only to last about 45 seconds to a minute, but it was a blast. My wife enjoyed recording the tries and especially the falls and the swoop up over the top of the wave (and, of course, sending the videos to the kids and grandkids as soon as possible). 🙄 Over the years, the "free time" became dominated by the significantly skilled who could go on and on. Although admired the talent, it took away from the time given to less skilled. Thanks for the update though.

Also, no special dining area for Pinnacles in the Dining room for breakfast, but from what I've read there is no need as there are at about 33% capacity. This with the 6 free drinks up to USD 13 each daily is a great new benefit. What about D and D+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
