Star Class checks in there, they then escort you in to the wellness check, then to the testing area if you have people needing a test, then upstairs to check in, then on-board. Genies don’t come to the terminal. Bags delivered to cabin and were there before we were, but we had two kids needing tests so had to wait for results. mac_tlc With your kids needing tests, how long from the moment when you walked in the doors from parking until you were on the ship? it is the nose test I assume? The shorter nose one or the deeper one? I had to take my 4 yr old today to get a negative test to return to school and she had to do both types and I tried warning her that she has to do it 4 more times coming up soon! Thank you!

kmcg8r Posted August 18, 2021 #102 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Also curious about Adventure Ocean if you have any way of finding out. If reservations are required (assume they still are), what are the time slots, how many slots can you reserve, are they filling up. Will have 3 and 4 yr old on 9/5 sailing. Thank you and have a great time! Edited August 18, 2021 by kmcg8r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I see here, people just don't want the hassel. Contrary to what the cruise lines want people to think demand is very low right now...too many hoops to jump through and too many protocols constantly changing...way too much uncertainty now.

Maybe demand wasnt there to increase capacity? We were on the 8/8 cruise and there were 1700+ passengers. That was the total after refusing 235 passengers from boarding because of incomplete embarkation paperwork (vaccination and testing). It was a Wonderful trip for passengers and crew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower capacity is a thing of beauty. Looking forward to Allure in mid Sept... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity however took a different approach with 95% vaccinated....something I don't agree with Royal not following. Also protocols were different in June than now ...we thought WE ARE BACK...then enters Delta. Edited August 18, 2021 by bajathree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good part is that now all of the Allure sailings with St. Thomas as a port of call, are requiring 100% of over 12 years to be fully vaccinated...ours is one of those sailings...we would have been on Celebrity again, but this time we have 4 under 30 going, and thought they would enjoy what Allure has to offer. I am glad to see many V only venues on the dailies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantom333 Posted August 18, 2021 #116 Share Posted August 18, 2021 We are on Allure mid-sept. I am wondering with the new diamond drink policy if there is any way for a diamond to get free bottled water, or will we be required to use one of our vouchers??

Yup. I take my pre dinner drink over to dinner and then they grab a wine for me with dinner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleC Posted August 18, 2021 #123 Share Posted August 18, 2021 How many entrances to each bank of lifts are there, 2 on port side and 2 on starboard? I’m looking at a cruise on the Harmony for next month but there’s not much availability remaining for balcony cabins and we prefer to be near to the lifts. The deck plans don’t really make the entrances clear. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be me being stupid but I just can’t figure out if there is one or two entrances on each side. To make matters worse, I’ve sailed on Oasis class ships several times but I can’t remember the lift set up 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
