Psycho and Barb

WTG Matt

We had three cruises canceled and got 2 of our 3 cruise planners refunded within two weeks…We took the 125% FCC offer.  The third we had to call and and spend too much time on the phone but they did give us the FCC number.  

Just stop by Guest Services and they will hook you up.   May not to do it the first day unless you enjoy spending time in a long line.

Going to a lot of people moving up the loyalty ladder

Never saw the need or use for the passport card but then again, we don’t live near Canada or Mexico…Even though psycho use to have two different passport books.  

Royal’s fuzzy math   Just constantly keep checking your cruise planner to find your base price…Buy when you think it’s a good deal.  Cancel and rebuy when you see it cheaper…Keep repeating till you cruise.

There are 8 of us so it was rather expensive - not sure if there is anything to gain by adding a TA now.

 

A good TA is worth their weight in gold...No stress or headaches.  We have booked cruises while on board and as soon as we returned home, we transferred them to our TA.  If we have a question or need something done...It just takes an email!

We use to find good deals on duty free liquors but not very often anymore.  Most of it we can get just as cheap or cheaper at our local Military Class six store.  However, to get a bottle of Blanton's here in NWF requires getting on a waiting list...Never find it just sitting a shelf.

We’ve seen a group of bikers bring their Harleys on a cruise and they were off loaded in port so they could ride and loaded back on for the next port. 

We have canceled and rebooked many times and have never been told enough is enough.

There is no master database for the vaccine #'s

 I do know that Florida has a database of everyone who has been vaccinated...Barb had to entered everyone her hospital vaccinated into the Florida database.  I’d be willing to bet Florida provided that information to the CDC.

I am wondering, if possibly you will put your vaccine card number on

What number are you referring to?  Our cards are not numbered but do have the lot number of our vaccine that we got.   We’ve been wondering if the CDC shouldn’t of put serial numbers on all the cards.  Lots of fake cards available on the internet and with out someone having access to the CDC database...Going to be hard to verify what card is real or not.

Now more than ever before, I miss the on-board T-shirt sales.  

We call it WalMart at sea.  Usually too many people for us.

Offer a choice of cruises.  One cruise for fully vaccinated and another cruise for non vaccinated.  

When I take my kayak out fishing and pretend I'm on the Oasis of the Seas.

We are in the same boat...Not sure of when we will purchase our airline tickets to San Juan for our Nov cruise.  

We always us parkncruise.com  They offer military discount and we have never and to wait long for a shuttle.  We stop by the port first to drop off our bags so we don't have to fuss with them.

We always use a porter and they do get you get you out faster.

I've been kind of awful in the past when I have seen the same stuff sitting unmoved on a chair for over an hour... I'll set the stuff on the ground where the chair is, and drag the chair off to another area/spot. I fry up like a lobster easily, so just need shade. Not particular about where that is either, so... I've never been around later to witness fallout from this strategy.

I love to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the pool deck on sea days.  I once watched a lady place twenty towels out on twenty prime pool location chairs and leave...I believe she helped herself to the towels at the towel station as they we still neatly flooded.  Somehow the towels got removed by someone getting more coffee.  The lady and her TWO friends returned just after 11 am.  They made three laps around the area looking confused as to where her towels were...She couldn't figure out why people were sitting in her chairs.  Sure wished I world of brought the GoPro with me that morning.

Wow loving all the responses so far, thanks all! If I lived closer to a port I would definitely be able to cruise more, but we're all the way up here in Seattle so all we really have is the Alaska season and we've been there a few times already. Nothing beats driving 40 minutes from home to port and jumping on a cruise ship! I wish we had some weekend sailings here. Back in 2018 we did a 3-night on Explorer to Victoria and back and it was so great!

We are in Florida but its still a 7 hour drive to Port Canaveral and a 9 hours to Miami.  We love the Seattle and Vancouver area!

We currently have only three scheduled but considering a few more.

B2B on Explore of the Seas - 21 Nov - 05 Dec 21

Going back to Alaska on the Serenade Of The Seas with a cruise tour 26 Jun - 03 Jul 22, Land tour 03 Jul - 10 Jul 22

It also doesn't hurt that the vaccine is 'free' (in US anyway)...which means the US tax payer is paying for all the shots

Free unless you have health insurance...Then the health insurance gets billed.  

Just received an email from royal that Adventure of the Seas will sailing this summer from Nassau.  Also says vaccinations will be required for adult guests
to sail on Adventure of the Seas. Guests under the age of 18 will need to provide a negative RT-PCR test result.

Adventure of the Seas | Cruise Ships | Royal Caribbean Cruises

My Guess would be 27 June and with only vaccinated people.
