Love your report so far.

What time did the doors for the terminal open up?

Have a great time.

Doors were open when we got there at 10:15. Our time slot was 11:00am. They let us in with the first group.

Some random info. No more vaccinated wrist bands. Interesting since the casino is still a vaccinated only venue.

 

all the mask signs look to be taken down. There are some signs showing please keep a safe distance. But that’s it. Have not seen a closed for social distance sign. I will check out the bars tonight to see if we are able to belly up to them once again.

You can belly up to the bar now!

About 15 min. They boarded suite, key and diamond/diamond plus first at around 11AM. We followed immediately afterwards. 

Are they back to seating by tiers and boarding by tiers now, regardless of your check in time?  Last month they were going strictly by check in times

On symphony 2 weeks ago when I got on they never even looked. We were on ship in 10 minutes at 11 am

Belly up next to the woman with the baseball hat ? 🙂

Two mask or 1? They were having to wear 2. I hope that changed for them. Crazy

Yes fried cheese cake was pretty good. We had UDP on symphony last week. I couldn’t eat chops for lunch and then do dinner. So much food. Enjoy

I don’t believe so. I will get a count from the C&A desk when I get a chance. My guess is between 60-70% capacity.

Talking to our waiter tonight, the crew are all testing tomorrow, and they are all hoping that they can perhaps go massless there after.
 

I’m not sure if there was a language barrier, but that was his interpretation of my question of when will they be allowed to go maskless, that was my interpretation of his answer.

 

The crew are not required to double mask anymore. If they are, it’s their choice.

Is anyone actually still masking? I am immuno compromised and plan to wear KN95s when indoors on board (as will my partner). Am wondering if we’ll be the only folks.

You won't be alone, saw many people wearing masks in theater, elevators, etc.

Neither should you care if anyone else is, or is not, wearing a mask. Do what you feel you need to in order to orotect yourself. I really can't foresee people judging you on this matter.

Great review!

There are plenty of folks still masking indoors by choice. I will say a good 20 to 30% of the people.

The Lobster Thermidor was really good. I understand thats not everyone’s thing, but I really enjoyed it. The Honey Glazed Scallops were a good complement to them as an appetizer. 
 

My wife is not as adventurous as I am with her palate. She likes familiar flavors. I tasted her Lamb Wellington that aw was only ok with. It was a little “game” flavor which I don’t mind but can overpower the flavor palate. The tenderloin was very tender, but slightly over cooked. 
 

Thw dessert were the real stars of the meal. Perfect in every way. (Fried cheese cake and peanut butter tort)

 

The service was impeccable. We are now Facebook friend with him. Phenomenal young man.

Sometimes you might get a person here and there informing you that masks are now optional. (A passenger not a crew member) I don’t think it was antagonistic, I think they were just trying to be helpful if the person didn’t know the change of policy. So if someone “informs” of the new policy I would just assume the best. I know it could be annoying. But try not to have it ruin your vacation if it happens to you.

Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful sea day. Wife has 2 spa appointments for today. We got a heck of a deal on a massage, and I pre booked a wash and blow out for formal night pictures for her.

 

Today I will be doing a lot of video taping of the ship while she has her day of relaxation.

Looks like your cabin is on deck 14, do you hear any noise from above?
