We will like having the room cleaned only once a day. Especially on days at sea, we always felt that we had to leave our cabin so that the steward could clean when he needed to do so. We would often check back several time to see if the cabin was ready.
  We would have much preferred to relax and enjoy our room, not worrying  about when the steward would arrive.

Playmakers on Odyssey!!! What a great place to hang out!!!  This sports bar is on deck 16 above the SeaPlex and has outstanding views of the ocean ,in addition to the tv screens everywhere. 
This is the best sports bar at seas in my opinion!
Does Royal Caribbean have plans to add Playmakers to the other Quantum ships? I have tentative plans to sail on Anthem of the Seas next year and would be disappointed if this was not on the ship. 
It looks like it would be easy to add a Playmakers in the SeaPlex on the other Quantum ships as there is ample wasted room there. Maybe construction could be done without disturbing the activities in the SeaPlex below during regular sailings???
  What do you know or think?

We also would love for Royal Caribbean to home port in Charleston, as we live in Knoxville which is about a 6 hour drive away.
But what about Savannah?  
Savannah has large cargo ships port there. So, I would think that ships larger than the Vision Class could even dock there.
 Savannah's airport is not as large as Charleston's which might be a problem, but passengers could be shuttled from Jacksonville and Charleston airports.   
   Just dreaming of closer Royal Caribbean ports for us.

I've gone to CVS at least 3 times for pre-cruise covid tests. Couldn't be easier. 
The results get texted, emailed, and stored online at the minuteclinic website. This saved me when I forgot my print out at home and instead showed a digital copy.

I hope parents don't get their children vaccinated for ANY reason.
Edited to add:  I mean the COVID injection. I am not an anti-vaxxer, otherwise.

My wife and I have a cruise booked with our 3-year-old for May. I'm hoping he's eligible and fully vaxxed by then.
My wife has a PhD in biochemistry and has spent her career studying infectious diseases. I've spent the pandemic working in a hospital. We have our reasons. Many reasons. Science being the #1 reason. Same reasons he's been given all his other vaccinations.
