I'm debating bringing an old cup, then peeling the sticker off the new tumbler and sticking it on the old in order to avoid carrying around two cups. My only hesitation is that I'll get the side eye from crew and/or passengers with the mistaken impression that I'm running some sort of soda scam. Keeping my fingers crossed for the old style cups on Ovation in the coming days!

Thank you so much for posting this! I finally was able to put some of my 2,800,000+ points to use and scored an 8-night out of Baltimore!

For November cruises, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Kitts, and Antigua will all require an excursion through Royal. We aren't really into what's being offered in the cruise planner compared to what we normally do at those ports, and the excursions are much shorter (3 - 4 hours) than the time the ship will actually be in port, so I'm mentally preparing for disappointment if this requirement is still in place in December. (As a port day enthusiast, sticking to the ship for 12 days feels like A LOT.)

I also thought that was the case, so I've been in high anxiety mode about our upcoming December 12th 12-night Anthem sailing. My 11-year-old would need to receive his first shot by November 7th in order to be considered fully vaccinated when we sail. Considering that the CDC won't meet until November 2nd/3rd, that doesn't give us much wiggle room to find a location with the new pediatric doses available. At this point, I'm willing to drive anywhere from MA to VA if that means the difference between sailing or not; my spouse's vacation time won't carry over to the following year and it's not like there are a lot of reasonable options left for booking something over the holidays. And I've got to wrap my head around the latest protocols that seem to indicate we'll be limited to RC excursions for 4/6 ports regardless of our vaccination status...
