From a press release today from Royal, still mentioning March

Ohh! Well, my comments still stand, but I hope she recovers quickly.

By YouTube trolls? Awful stuff. I'll also tell you women have it far worse with trolls. I'm sure she's gotten a ton of unwelcome messages of many varieties that only idiot guys think is something women want to see/hear/read would do. It's really awful.

If you're the first sailing back from Symphony's shutdown, yes, I'd expect rooms to be ready immediately. I say that because on test cruises I've done, as well as the first revenue sailings when a ship returned to service, rooms were ready. Logically, same should apply to Symphony's first cruise back.

Thanks for sharing!

Totally true. But it's worth reminding non-cruisers of this double standard when brought up.

The Atlantis group has a very checkered past with their charters, with people dieing on sailings in the past. That being said, while I would not think this is a good thing to do at all, here's another great example of the double standard cruise lines face. Large unmasked grouping outside is a problem?

No, not all posts need to be approved. There's an algorithm the message board software uses. I'm not privy to what it is, but rest assured you will eventually make it out of probation. Moreover, the mods and I are pretty good approving posts in a timely fashion.

Sorry, but this is all just speculation. Just because it's on the internet, doesn't mean it's true. I'm all for juicy rumors, but there's nothing substantive to point to and say this could mean something.

Hope she recovers quickly

I don't have a good answer for you, just that Royal Caribbean operates different internationally compared to here in the US. Part of it have something to do with government regulations in Singapore, but I don't know if that's true or not. In short, I don't have a good answer for you. Sorry.

Lyft or Uber is my recommendation

Welcome to the message boards! There's an update from Harmony on today's blog post on how Adventure Ocean is working onboard: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/01/19/qa-what-it-sail-harmony-of-the-seas-week

It's mandatory for unvaccinated kids. You'll get information onboard about when and where.

Welcome to the message boards! Royal Caribbean runs sales in the Cruise Planner usually every 4-6 weeks, and almost always over holidays.

I can confirm this is accurate. Unfortunately you can't enter their vax info into the app pre-cruise (yet), but the onboard experience for them will be same as for you.

Welcome to the message boards! I don't believe so. Royal Caribbean's system doesn't allow for that. Think of it more like airfare, where you are cancelling and then rebooking. The principal issue here is how long it may take for the future cruise credit to be issued to you so that you can use it to rebook.

We just put towels over our stuff to keep it out of plain sight

The media looks for the most upset person possible and uses that as their lead. Here's a good look of what happens when you're quarantined: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/01/07/i-felt-extremely-well-supported-passenger-shares-what-happens-after-testing-positive

Bahamas Paradise would be my guess. They aren't part of CLIA.

Actually, I'd view it the opposite. They've now "reset" everything right before your cruise.

It's really a question of if you want internet access while at sea between port stops.

Yes, or cough. It's human nature and not necessarily indicative of someone having Covid.

Nope. The only people that get tested during the cruise are unvaccinated kids if the sailing is more than 4 nights. And of course someone who complains of not feeling well.
