Easiest are the proctored home angtigen tests. Free is Walgreens or CVS antigen tests.

Welcome to the forums! You would cancel the Refreshment Package and purchase the Deluxe Beverage Package. Your card will be refunded, typically within 7-10 business days. Keep in mind that if all people in the cabin over 21 years of age must purchase the Deluxe Beverage Package if one does (at least on line. If the other adult(s) don't drink and want to just keep the Refreshment Package just call Royal Caribbean and have them change yours over the phone (it won't let you do that online for one if there are more adults).

It varies from sailing to sailing. I book refundable when it doesn't add that much to the cost. Sometimes it's just too much.

It’s actually 150 Central Park (but they might appreciate the upgrade!). We loved the menu, the atmosphere, and the service. It’s an all-around experience.

Thanks, Ashley!

We're in Aruba tomorrow, and we canceled the tour we had originally booked because we didn't want to ride around with a bunch of other people in a tour bus. Are there any beaches or things to do within walking distance? I feel obligated to at least dip our toes in the Southern Caribbean Ocean, but an totally unfamiliar with the area.

I'm one of those people who will only go to the hibachi experience if I'm with a fun group of people whom I know. I've never had hibachi, anywhere, where the food itself impresses me (including RCCL ships).

Be sure to join the Roll Call!

Antigen.

But if he's had his second shot and his booster, that's still two shots on his card?

Paging @michelle, @Beci, or @Sharla!

Yes, that's exactly what it is. We always bring our own. Have fun!

You can go to the Maître de (or whoever is manning the check in stand) on the first day and request an area (although they won't put you in My Time if you are not, and visa versa). The worst that can happen is they say they are unable.

Only with a PCR test, not an antigen test.

If your onboard credit is from the Royal Caribbean Visa card, you'll need to call the number associated with your card and ask them to apply it right away, otherwise it won't show up until two weeks prior to cruising.

Congratulations!

Yep!

The percentages mean absolutely nothing, though. Just go by the bottom line price per day.

I haven't heard of any ship having "huge outbreaks". 1-2% positivity rates really isn't huge (and most was crew). Omicron will undoubtedly not be an issue in June.

So happy for you!

When did you talk to them on the phone? It can take 7-10 business days for a credit to be refunded to your card (that's not just Royal, that's with most merchants).

"Cold" is relative. I've been to Coco Cay 4 times now (December, Jan, Feb), and it's never been warm enough for me to swim in either the pool or the ocean, and always super windy. But it didn't bother others.

There's no set time. I'm 3 days out from my sailing and my bids are pending. I've been notified as late as after I've gotten on the ship (for losing bids).

Nope.
