Saved a bunch on Coco Cay Waterpark, but was really hoping for a decent sale on the DBP...which went up by $5. Lol. 

Pay attention to who’s making your drink so you can go back to them specifically when you get the perfect drink. My last trip on Oasis I had both one of the best Cosmopolitans and the absolute worst ever in the same bar. Same with a Bourbon Sidecar (one of the waiters, though such a sweetheart & super hard worker, was really really not good at cocktails and kinda knew it. He was so worried about how my Cosmo was “because people don’t think he makes a good one” that I had to fib.) DBP to the rescue!

This. And since you have the DBP, you might as well just pick one based on location, ambiance, or out of a hat and start there.
Lovely view in the Viking Crown if you want a random suggestion based on that.

Been a while since I've been on Freedom, but I would try the Schooner Bar and the Viking Crown Lounge.

We are cruising out of Miami 2 weeks from today. We are masking up and not hanging out with other indoors as much as possible. I do have two days at an in-person conference this week, which makes me very nervous, if I'm being honest. We are flying to Miami the day before the cruise, and I have N95 masks and face shields for all of us. I'm completely over caring if I look silly at this point. We have been planning this cruise since 2019, and I just want it to happen!

Oooh, that is good to know! If we have to wait a bit to board, I can try to see if I can do it on the app. Thank you!!

Also Izumi hibachi for some reason wasn't bookable through the app in my case. In fact at the podiums they had to call down to Izumi to make the booking as if they didn't have access to that particular reservation system either.

Thank you! I will start there! I will report back with how things go! I appreciate it!

I've filled it out three times so far. I sail in a month, so I'm just going to keep filling it out whenever they send it, just to be safe. 

The website defaults to require a time when booking the UDP.  It doesn't have any bearing on your actual dining.  That 630 time may also be your scheduled Main Dining Room time, early seating.

Glad to help !

Thank you so much!!! This is what I thought when I purchased it (and one of the reasons I did), so I was really nervous. I appreciate you taking the time! Phew!

She also made the claim that Royal was out to get her and falsified the test to make it positive. 
Why would they do that?  That's the very last outcome they want and they don't need a COVID test result to remove someone from a cruise.  She had already violated the guest conduct policy at that point.  That's all they need to remove her.  

She tested positive.  End of story. 
The mix up that resulted in her getting a bracelet did not cause her to become infected.   
She knows her vaccination status.  She chose to play like she was vaccinated using the bracelet to go into areas she knows she didn't belong.  The signs don't say "purple bracelets only", the signs read "Vaccinated Guest Area".  She knew she was breaking the rules.

Got a free ride home in a private jet.  Hard to complain about that.
Mixups are going to happen.  No system will ever be perfect.   
She needs to take accountability for her actions rather than trying to cast shade on the cruise industry.

Thank you so much, @twangster!!

I got the protocols email for FR too.  No mention of masks or areas.  It's the exact same info as on their website.

Nope.  Still don't see anything about the protocols.  I also notice (now, looking back) that there isn't any mention of getting a cash refund if you don't want to abide by the unvaxxed protocols.  @michellehas verified that we would be eligible for a refund (up until 7-28) but you know how that goes....they can change their mind/policy on a whim.  I sure hope we're still eligible for a refund if we decide we don't want to abide by their vax policies.  If we can't go to the casino we have decided to cancel.

I was able to! In the confirmation email, there is a button to "modify/cancel" the upgrade bid. Just click on it, and you should be able to change your bid while it is still pending.

They pretty much do on the 2nd screen.  Hard to mistake what my total bid is.
