I got it for $106 two sales ago for my October Symphony. I have a feeling space is limited so keeping the price high. Basically it was excluded from the sale. DX beverage is still what I paid earlier this month ($58) and ultimate dining is same price. Need a 45% off sale but doubt we’ll see it. There was one about 6 weeks ago but my OBC hadn’t been posted yet

Here she is! I beat you to CocoCay by 2 months! Lol

Anyone think Royal might sail their most popular “family” ships as the vax/unvax ones and sail other ships as fully vax’d? That seems like a logical step. It gives an option for everyone

The only US ports that can handle an oasis class (to my knowledge) are PC, PE, Miami and Bayonne. Galveston is under construction to be the new home port of Allure

They are crewing her now. She’s in Cadiz in dry dock. In one of my Facebook groups 2 parents have posted their kids have been called back for the shows. (Hiro, hairspray and flight)

Just read in a Facebook group that entertainers are signing contracts to join the ship in July. ? Yay! 2 parents posted that their kids have been called back. Hiro, Hairspray and Flight.

First thing I thought of too!

My first visit was way back in 1987! It was known as Little Stirrup Cay and I was there aboard Admiral Cruises “Emerald Seas.” She was an old military supply ship turned cruise ship. The island was a beach with heavy mangrove trees. Of course the “sunken plane” was the highlight of the island. Present day CocoCay bears little resemblance to her original self. Any other old timers visit her way back when? I’m really not THAT old! College spring break. $137 for 3 nights. I just remember the actual old people upset with us rowdy college kids.

Seems like nothing more than a giant game of chess.

But it’s Florida! We’ve been open since the beginning ?

We did that right after our October 2020 was cancelled. Took roughly 3 months. Hope yours is a faster turnaround

Well that would be mighty convenient for us. As in 2 hour drive convenient ?

Hush your mouth! I live in Florida. I don’t want no stinkin hurricanes ?

Where are you sailing from? What/where are you staying the other 2 weeks? For an alternative, I’d look at Airbnb or VRBO and find one that allows a close in cancellation. Put down your deposit and wait for RC to release the protocols for your sailing.

Even more.....Carnival is a BIG reason why Covid went rampant on their ships (Princess). They transferred crew from the pacific Cruises (Mexico then Hawaii, outbreak, couldn’t port etc) to Fort Lauderdale. Crew from the Mexico run were transferred to Florida. Plus aren’t they still in a heap of trouble from dumping into the ocean?

And they’re not requiring vaccines https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/25027-carnival-may-not-require-covid-19-vaccine.html

And Symphony is at Cadiz too (or heading there, haven’t checked recently)

Ditto and I see a job for Jeff at RCG! Kind of a head of counter intelligence but intelligence isn’t the word......head of counter stupidity? Help me out here.

It’s not you, promise. 3rd times a charm right? (I said that about symphony and October will be my 4th try). Hope your November 2021 inaugural is a refundable deposit. Just move it to the new inaugural.

Well the hubs just said he’d hop on her this summer. Oh @Sharla prepare to be on standby! Lol I’d love to get on her before our Holy Land next year. Hopefully the Holy Land will be calmer by then. Was so disappointed our October odyssey this year was cancelled out of Rome but looks like we may get a shot at getting on her anyways before Holy Land 2022. WOOT!

There’s a pretty long thread a few posts down about this. Nothing official from Royal yet.

I know a husband and wife who after a full year still have antibodies. Both had mild cases

Well if this is true and she’s coming to PC, I may have to hop down 95 to see her. Sad though for all those people who are booked but I’ve been cancelled 5 times so far. I’m getting used to being disappointed

Well at least we have something to speculate about while we wait for Judge Merryday ?
