I can see being disappointed.  I can NOT see being upset.  This isn't 2019, and things have changed dramatically even in the past 10 days.

@Neesa- Thank you for keeping us updated on all of this, and maintaining such a fantastic attitude!

Today, 69 crew members and 3 new guest cases. 
Our FCC just arrived! Booking another sailing!!
 

^^^THIS RIGHT HERE!^^^
Sums it all up IMO.

I figured it out. Somehow it went to the secondary guests last name. Got my bid in! 

I wouldn't worry about trying to find a place in Florida to do it.  Just order the home test from emed that is good for the cruise.  You can then do it on your own.

Hello. We won our Royal Up to Star Class. I didn't come close to making the maximum bid, so feeling pretty good. We had already been in contact with Ricardo and Edwin, our concierges for Sky Class. Now that we are Star Class, will we be receiving any info from our Genie, or will that take place once we board? 

Friday morning update, pool decks still packed, even the chairs in the pools solarium included have clothes and towels reserving them, I get it it is gorgeous outside getting your vitamin D. I am back on my huge balcony as I wasn't enjoying the pool deck that way, not my personal choice.
So they added a show, Tap Factory so we reserved it at 1530 which is cool because so many shows have been canceled. 
I ordered the Evian water and was given cans of royal spring water and 15.00 obc credit.  It doesn't taste "canny" I was pleasantly surprised. 
The tree is beautiful; dining at Chops tonight as it is Mr. Cabash birthday today. 
This morning upon returning to room we were gifted 2 pretty royal water bottles as well as notification of carols & mass. They have mentioned our friends in the Jewish faith holiday and there is a beautiful large menorah.

I'm pretty sure it's not.

Like @SpeedNoodlessaid, everyone needs to have a separate account. We each took a room and did ours around the same time, it may take a bit longer for one person to connect but were done and negative within minutes of each other.

I think this would not be something they would do.  Each person must have their own account and the proctor carefully watches each person, after scanning QR codes, etc - then they "put you on hold" during the waiting time and when it's over another proctor will come back and interpret your results.  Having more than one person on the same call would make this very confusing.
That being said, people can log on at the same time on different devices and do them with individual proctors on their own accounts and get them all done at the same time.

I think that when they planned to ramp up capacity Omicrom wasn't even a known thing.  It appeared and then spread like wildfire.  Had it just still been Delta, they might have been just fine.
Or not.  What do I know?

+1 !!!  I will send 100 emails before I will pick up the phone.  I hate talking on the phone

Quite likely the national mushroom shortage.

Basically getting back 6 of the 8 nights and still get to be aboard. Limited yes but better than sitting in 30 degree weather...

UPDATE:
I just received my 6 pack of tests from eMed this morning (Thursday 12/23) at about 11:00.
I ordered them on Monday, 12/20 at 11:03 (according to the time stamp on the order email)
So it was almost exactly 72 hours from the time I ordered to receiving the tests. (Your own results may vary)
I was also glad to see that the tests I received have an expiration date of 11-06-2022. This means I should not have to purchase any additional tests for our Alaskan cruise in August.
I was disappointed that no shipping notification was sent out. Living in a colder climate, I didn't want to risk the tests getting damaged by the cold weather and rendering them useless. Luckily, I am working from home this week and saw an unexpected FedEx van stopping by.

So far this morning, everyone seems In good spirits, DW and I are considering these sea days as training for a TA in the future, the captain is sailing in circles trying to find some sun!

I'd show up by 4:00.
