We had room 6668 on Harmony before the covid shutdown.  I was concerned about the noises to, but we never heard a thing from the elevator lobby.

RANT ON:  This is just another example of entrenched bureaucrats that have lost touch with reality.  They know nothing beyond the little bubble they live in.  Here is another news flash for them.  Pedestrians who cross streets are more likely to be struck by cars, than pedestrians that never cross the street.  Live is a series of calculated risks, let individuals weigh the risks and let them make their own decision.
Its easy for these government employees to advocate for businesses to shut down, they still are getting paid.  RANT OFF

Pro Tip: if you are on an Oasis class ship that also has a Wonderland restaurant (i.e. Harmony OTS) .... they have a Bar above the dining area that you can get drinks from without actually having to go and dine at wonderland. Our bartender knew what he was doing!!!! We had the UDP and made it a point to go see him almost every night! Made us some of the best drinks on and off menu!! A definite hidden gem of a place to get drinks. 
Also.... Wonderland was a very neat experience too! (if you are into new and different things) But if you are the kind of person that gets Chicken tenders and fries, everywhere you go... best not waste your money on the dinner. Otherwise, well worth it and cant wait to go again!  

We live on the boarder of WV/VA. Our doctors are in VA and my mother, myself and my wife have had the nasal swabs for COVID testing done in VA prior to a scheduled medical procedure and the results have been back in 48 hours.  In WV they have rotated testing on demand around the various counties, I do not know how long it has taken to get those results.  Will be seeing my GP doctor next month and I will try to ask her about scheduling a test prior to a cruise and see what she says.

Matt looks good, nice and clean looking.

Lest we forget, perhaps the best reason for using Southwest, especially for cruisers, is 2 free checked bags in addition to a carryon.

twangster:  I see what you mean, sailing west does sound like a better deal.  I had't realized that the time would change every day, but it makes sense.  I wanted to take a baltic cruise in 2022 and taking a eastbound TA before it sounded good, but now I gotta look about the the TA after a baltic cruise.  Thanks for you wealth of knowledge and experience.

For years, I resisted the wife's suggestion that we should take a cruise.  I thought it was to expensive; that I'd be bored trapped on a boat, then a coworker told me how much fun they had (this is a person who loves work and has to be made to vacation) I decided to give it a try.  Our first ship was Oasis in April 2018, and we fell in love with cruising.  Love that we could be as busy or relaxing as we wanted, explore ports we had never been, pampered by the crew, more food than one person can eat and sitting on the balcony with a nite cap listening to the ship cut a path thru the ocean,  Since then we have been on 4 cruises,  had to cancel my summer cruise to Alaska and fall cruise to NE/Canada and move them to 2021.  God willing we have 3 scheduled for next year, if they get a handle on the Covid problem I would consider a winter cruise if I can.  So yeah I guess it is an addition or obsession.
