I meant that I hadn't heard anything on my bid (I'm on the same sailing as SPS, got an email and bid quite a while ago). No issue here.

I would be shocked if they were proctored. They don't have to be for the general population and that adds additional, and unnecessary, cost.

Read the responses above for why you shouldn't take this as something to worry about.

I'm finding that dealing with EMed (over the phone or email) is an absolute nightmare. I'm sure I'll never see the $184 refund for my Dec 31 order that never arrived.

Yep, I wanted some back ups in case I had issues. I also made a back up appointment at the airport (at $99 each, so I hope to cancel them, but I have it locked in just in case).

But when you're obsessive (like I am), you check to see which bids are still pending, or expired, etc.

That will be such a FUN surprise! I'm so happy for you guys!!!!

That's just the date that EMed said they sent them to FedEx. FedEx indicates that they never received them. I called EMed today to request my money back. For the 2nd time, it's been "elevated to Level 3". I don't actually expect to see any of this money. If I don't get confirmation that the refund has been initiated by Monday I'm calling my credit card company (unfortunately I used an HSA debit card). So, I ordered another pack because they can't POSSIBLY lose two of them from the same person. Ordered: 1/15/22 Emed Approved: 1/15/22 Shipped: 1/17/22 Delivered: 1/18/22 Expiration date: 11/21/ 22

I haven't heard about my RoyalUp on that sailing, yet. What categories did you move from/to? And most of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

If you don't use it to purchase things, you can go down to the casino and apply it to a slot machine and then just cash it out (without actually gambling, if you wish).

Yes, that exact thing happened to me. If you win your bid, you will get an email notifying you that your card cannot be processed and it will direct you to a web page where you can put in the new credit card. I was a bit panicky because even when I did that I think it took half a day to get final notification that it all went through, but all was fine. I literally put email notifications back on my phone and turned my sound on while I was waiting (I never use email notifications or have my sound on my phone, so this was a big deal for me). I wanted immediate notification when that email came through to update it!

But WHY?

Correct.

I thought it was only 14 days. Maybe kids are different? It could be that anyone with covid CAN test positive for up to 90 days after a covid infection using a PCR test, which an unvaccinated child must use. But they won't necessarily for sure test positive. I know others will chime in.

How many days is what?

You would need a Voom plan to connect to wifi to use WhatsApp. If you don't need to stream videos then the surf is fine, but if you want to share videos and photos you're really hampered by just surf. If you're just texting then Surf is fine.

I'll give that a try. Their call center is not US-based and I had a very, very, difficult time communicating with the guy I spoke with the first time. He couldn't understand me, I couldn't understand him.....

I always get my Bloody Mary at the Windjammer bar. I can't say what time, the nearest that I can narrow it down is "breakfast-ish time".

Everyone in the cabin must purchase The Key, so everyone would get a 1-device Voom allowance.

Yesterday I was told (over the phone and by follow up email) that my order issue was being escalated to "Level 3 customer support". Just now I received the same form letter that I received when I checked on them a week ago (tests are delayed! Let us know if it's been over 7 days! - Ummm, I have, that's why I called and it was supposedly elevated). To say that my patience is running thin is an understatement.

There are some Royal Caribbean sailings available right now on MyVegas. From a cursory glance, they appear to be sailings within the next 4 to 5 weeks.

No. It's been escalated. I think they created the shipping label and then it was either a) lost or b) stolen.

Emed. December 31, 2021.

I did. It's been "escalated". @Pattycruise may need to call them as well. Warning: their "on hold" music is painful.

If you're going to order the home tests, make sure you do it with plenty of time to spare. Some of us are waiting a very long time for them.
