Pretty crappy RCL.   

Welcome to CC.

 

The expectations from some customers seems to be much higher than RCI is willing to deliver in the COVID era.

Thanks for taking questions - and have a great cruise!

 

Have you heard any rumblings onboard that it is more difficult to get Specialty Dining reservations because they have fewer slots available due to social distancing?

 

Also, I'm assuming they're not doing a Hush Party, but can you confirm?

There are only 1700 guests - so even with the social distancing there seems to be decent availability at all the venues and restaurants. 
now as the week goes on things might get tighter but so far no issues getting pretty much anything you want!

Can you sit at the bar in Central Park the Pub and the Schooner bar or is it only table service?

Myself and @luckyfincruiserare on Allure right now and will be watching this AMA (ask me anything) thread to answer as many of your questions as we can over the week!

 

We are in a Crown Loft Suite so can answer suite questions as well. 

 

What do you want to know?!?

Can you go to the SL and get a beer, wine, soda or water from 11-11, exclusive of the cocktail hour and eating in CK?

Yes, I'd also like to know if you can get a bottle of water during other times than the cocktail hour.   Thanks for taking time out of your cruise to post your experience.

How about a speed test of VOOM?

Taken about two minutes ago

 

[mac_tlc]

We are also onboard. We are in a 2-bdr Aquatheater Suite and can chime in too.

Would you mind sharing some more details on the Star Class boarding process? An earlier message mentioned that all guests had to go through the same check-in line.

I know you are not in Star Class but did you notice if they still have a separate check in?  Thanks

 

We are Star Class. There is a separate podium just to the right of the terminal door. 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.

Not for Star Class, although the regular line was moving. Pretty quickly when we arrived at 12 noon. 

We have 8 of us, two under age 12, so the timing may be different for others. 
 

Here is a high level timeline of our check-in and what documents were checked and when. Spoiler alert: They checked everything multiple times. 

 

Arrive 12 (test results checked)

Inside terminal 12:15

Wellness check done for 8 at 12:45 ( test, vax and passport) white band

Kids test 12:50

Results 13:29

Check in started 13:33 (passport) tracelet 

Check in finished 13:59

On board 14:06 Vax. And test results

In room 14:11

Any show in the theater?

Here is the weekly show schedule. They may be doing the Aquatheater show later in the week— unsure yet.

Thanks... We're scheduled to be on a 2BR ATS in October, and given the current protocols seriously considering whether to bring our 3.5 year old, or even cancel. I know it's only been a day since y'all boarded, but how has the experience been so far with unvaccinated kids?

 

Thanks for the insights!
