    Yo2slick reacted to DoomSlayer in What is the Health Status Questionnaire the day before departure?   
    This is a simple self-attested question they ask.  There is no wrong answer here! It is just for their records in case they need it for a destination port or they have an outbreak on board.  People I have met onboard that were not vaccinated and answered truthfully had no issues on embarkation and were not even asked about it again outside of the app before boarding.

    There is currently no requirement to be vaccinated for most itineraries.  We are not vaccinated and had a wonderful back-to-back cruise on Oasis over the Christmas holiday.

    We will be on Allure in 33 days for our first SC cruise.  It will be our first time on Allure as well.  Your live blog is getting us even more excited!

    Yes, we booked the full island tour and the facility with the sloths and monkeys, and it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend.

    Day 3 and food coma is starting to set in. We had lunch at Giovanni's and dinner at Chops. Both were excellent,  but it is too much food. Unfortunately,  I was bad about taking food photos. Sorry.
     The shrimp cocktail at Chops is the way all shrimp cocktail should be made. The MDR cocktail is terrible. That, and the key lime pie make Chops a good choice. I had the New York Strip and it's was good but doesn't compare to a good land steakhouse.
    We kept it simple for lunch and just had pasta and caprese salad app. The gnocchi was really good. My wife had the risotto and liked it.

    We had lunch in Sabor. Despite sailing on Liberty 3 times, we had never actually tried it.
    We get excellent Mexican food in Texas and eat it at least a few times a month at home.
    I thought the chips, Pico de gayo, and especially the guacamole were excellent. Unfortunately, it was just OK after that. Not bad, but we get better at home.  We may try it again later in the week.
    It probably didn't help that my wife and son both ate a full breakfast from Bucee's this morning. 
    We are trying CP150 tonight and I have high hopes. There are quite a few things I want to try on that menu.

    Right now people have been using this hack.  As more and more people do this it's is possible and likely Royal may change or enforce the terms and conditions so you could hack your way into paying double, once in the UDP and once by booking the venue directly when Royal doesn't allow cancellations to be converted.
    Let's face it.  The UDP is offered at a discount with the trade off of having to book on board with whatever is available.  That's why it's cheaper.  
    As more people use this hack Royal will catch on and they will change the rules.  This is inevitable.

    Yes, it is on CCL that anything after the second entree is an extra charge. On Royal the charge has to do with lobs Tah!

    I had this discussion once asking people to explain why wearing a hat inside is disrespectful but outside is not. Nobody could give a valid answer. They all said it was because they were told it's disrespectful and they didn't question this.
    Being follically challenged, my choice has been to often wear a hat. I would choose not to at a formal dining situation. My life is not affected in any way by those who choose otherwise.

    Never understand why men need to remove a cap, but women wearing a hat is ok, since its part of their outfit

    First off welcome to 2023. Nobody needs to remove a hat for anybody else's needs, feeling, pleasure. Suck it up and deal.
    Second. Many men have issues about lack of hair at a certain age. Ron Howard has a baseball cap on at Academy awards etc. Should they feel more insecure and uncomfortable to please you? No.
    Third. Many have scares and marks etc from some very unpleasant treatments. (Not related to their hair) They keep hats on to make everyone more comfortable.
    This Victorian age BS about how what others have on makes you feel and impacts your experience is complete selfish nonsense.

    We just got off Harmony last week and we stayed in a 2BR ATS and loved it! We had snacks delivered to our suite as we watched the aqua show. Your genie will take care of all dining and shows. All you will have to do is let him/her know of your preferences. Our genie took care of booking Hibachi as long as we were ok with eating at 7pm that night.  Make sure to use the priority access on select onboard activities sigh as the zip line, rock climbing and abyss.  A shared flow rider session is offered; normally on first sea day at 8:30am for all star class families.  Take advantage of the specialty dining, room service and Starbucks. Your genie will likely offer to arrange a standing Starbucks order every morning. And if you are interested in behind the scenes ship stuff don’t miss out on the bridge and galley tours included in star class.  Mini golf may be a fun activity to depending on your kids ages.  There is no end of things to do onboard so be sure to build in time to relax and enjoy on your deck.

    The 2BR ATS is my favorite room! One of the best things is getting to watch the show from your balcony. You can ask the Genie to plan a night to do this and have snacks and drinks delivered to the room for everyone to enjoy the show from the balcony!
    With the Genie you don't have to worry about planning anything. They will book all of your shows and dining for you, so you will get to experience all of that.
    Otherwise just explore the ship. There is so much to do on the Oasis class ships.  While the ATS rooms are far from the Suite Lounge and Coastal Kitchen, make sure to spend some time there on Deck 17 during your trip.
    If you drink alcohol, Sabor has specialty margaritas and Wonderland has some unique drinks at their bars. Worth a visit even if you aren't dining there at the time.
    Take advantage of the Starbucks on the boardwalk as much as you can as well. Drinks there are included with Star Class, but not the food.
    I think you will find the Star Class product a good choice for your first Royal cruise 🙂

    We are a family of 5 and have only cruised Disney.  We are booked in a two bedroom aqua suite. This is brand new territory for us.  What are the must do activities on the ship? We will have a genie and I want to make sure we utilize this wonderful opportunity. Thanks!

    We DID select a boarding time but I don’t think you really need to as the Genie will override it if necessary. We already had an early boarding time but even if we hadn’t we could have boarded whenever the Genie would have arranged it. 
     
    So I would probably go ahead and get a boarding time with the knowledge that the Genie will arrange for you to board whenever you want to board.

    Check-in time is irrelevant, you can pick whatever time.  If you are Star Class no one will even look at your check-in time.  You will let your Genie know when you plan to arrive before the cruise and when you arrive on embarkation day you can let them know you are there.
