Yep, it does. What's weird is that on one section it says that saliva-based tests are not accepted, and then right after that they have this disclaimer. Our saliva testing is through Vault, so I'm confused as to whether it would be accepted (hypothetically - I'm not going to Aruba). Is it only Jet Blue passengers? Vault tests are Vault tests - why would it matter who you fly with? Interesting question to ponder.

That's pretty normal amongst this crowd. ?

Mine doesn't say anything about saliva

No idea how they'd know if it was a saliva or swabbed PCR.

Online - you get emails when the test is received by the lab from UPS and then when they are done with the results. My last one was picked up by UPS at 4:45 on Friday, received by the lab at 7am, and I had test results back by 1pm on Saturday.

We do at-home saliva PCR tests in Minnesota. They are not rapid, though, so you do need to time it well to get it into a UPS pick-up box Mon-Fri, or it'll sit there all weekend. If you do, though, test results are back in less than 24 hours.

Welcome to the forums! I'm just going to slide it over to the main discussion page. I was on Navigator in 2019 and the cabins have not been refreshed. That being said, our cabin wasn't in any sort of disrepair, it was in very good shape.

A few days before they canceled the July Anthem Norway sailing I canceled all of my cruise planner items. I received both the funds from the canceled cruise planner purchases, as well as my deposits, in full within 10 days (not business days, just days).

Radiance should be able to get into smaller ports than Ovation - it looks like they do have some different stops. Personally I think the views from the public spaces of Radiance class ships are far better than from Ovation (I've been on both - I thought Ovation just wasn't great for a scenic destination). My opinion only, obviously.

I always make it a rule to check prices regularly, even when there is not a sale. Some of the best prices I've seen, especially with excursions, have just shown up randomly between sales, never to be seen that low again. I check frequently enough that I really don't even pay attention to sale announcements.

Navigator, Jan 20, 2023.

One, but who knows when I'll be able to fit it into my currently booked cruise schedule.

There are two things that people really dislike. When things stay the same, and when things change. At least it's that way with folks in my profession. ?

Well, one must really reevaluate the term "friends" at this point, no? LOL

I didn't find Symphony (Oasis Class) to be less personal than any other ship I've been on. I always found the same bartenders and waiters on Symphony, they always remembered me. In other places where we went, we still always got friendly smiles from all of the staff. I like different classes of ships for different reasons, but impersonal staff has never a problem on any ship that I've been on.

Serenade of the Seas - May 29, 2022 - RT Vancouver visiting Sitka and Ketchikan! I'm all excited and you guys are the only one who understand. My friends are all "I'd never do that and risk getting stuck on the ship quarantined for 2 weeks!" ::::: banging head ::::

There's an entire discussion about this on the last 2 pages (as of now) here:

It all comes down to which is more important to YOU. Ship? or ports?

I stayed in an aft balcony on Navigator, one floor below the Windjammer. While I heard zero noise from the Windjammer, if I went out onto my deck in the middle of the night I could hear music coming from the area of the Flowrider. It couldn't be heard from within the room, though, even with the balcony door open.

Per someone on the Royal Caribbean Blog Insider's FB page: "I talked with Casino Royale today as the new Navigator sailings are still not loaded despite the date on the press release. The rep stated that they were sent a bulletin that says they are still working out the itineraries and that they will be delayed being put open for sale."

@LGiannelli - Welcome to the message boards! In case you're not aware, this is a fan message board, not run, or monitored, by Royal Caribbean. We are a large collection of people who love sailing with Royal Caribbean and who share information and adventures with each other. We're glad you're here!

Let's just say that I'm thrilled that I didn't stay up all nights on my night off from work Wed and Thurs waiting for these itineraries to be released.

I've seen where it's offered, I've seen pics of it....I've never been able to find it.

If I'd have answered this yesterday, it would have been 4, but since Norway is out.... 3! Allure in Oct 2021 Odyssey Jan 2022 Symphony Sept 2022 And I'm hoping against hope that I can work a Navigator sailing out of LA sometime next year, too.
