Gee I'm really glad now that I jumped on an Oasis sailing for August 2021 last month ?

I think a more important question to ask is when are people going to start thinking about suing Japan for the questionable decision to force on ship quarantines and how many extra cases and deaths resulted directly from that decision. Seems a logical falacy to push for government mandated action by pointing to an 'outbreak' of 700 cases on one ship when the only reason for the magnitude of the outbreak was inept government mandated action (IMO).

Why since RCCL is giving full credit if you don't want to go.....just cancel and schedule another one?

We are still at the level of "higher chance of getting killed in a shark attack" with this Virus........yet people still swim everyday ?

I think a more important question to ask is this "If my cruise is cancelled and I get FCCC....can I apply that to the balance owed on an existing booking I already have" ?

So here's the back story....We are taking an Alaska cruise in August. I recently added my inlaws to the reservation so our quartet has become a party of 6. My previous plan was to just grab a taxi at the airport when we get there. That was with 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids) - 4 large bags and 2 backpacks. Now that we are six, taxi is a bit more of a pain and not that straight forward since we would have 4 adults, 2 kids, 6-7 large bags and 4 or so small bags. So I figure I would just order up a limo to meet us when we arrive and then take us back to the airport a week later. Call up a company and request an SUV stretch and their first response was: "We don't use SUV limos for airport transfers as they don't have any trunk space. We can get you a passenger van" To which I responded "I've used SUV limo for 4 before just fine and we fit, plus anything that we can't get behind seat we can just put in with us" to which I got a response: "We are not allowed to put anything inside the vehicle. Secondly, cruise terminal does not allow stretch limos inside. So even if you book it we will dropoff on street level." Can anyone familiar with Vancouver tell me if I just getting fed a line here? What does it mean drop off on street level versus "inside terminal".....did I just pick a poor choice company to start my conversation and am getting fed a story?

Way to go. I called Casino Royale today.....added a second room to our Alaska Cruise in August because the Inlaws decided to come....only took me 5 minutes on hold ? ? ....but I didn't save any money ?

I wonder if there will be mandatory Ibuprofen confiscations I kid....I kid.....

It's been over a decade since the media has had the chance to hysterically report about the chance of a pandemic and the impacts it has on the economy.....and the bottom line of a cruise ship. Even on sailings that still go, I'm pretty sure casino revenue is down overall because chips and machines often are the highest concentration of germs on board.

I"m not saying we should do anything nefarious.....I'm just saying maybe we should just take all the warning labels off things and let it sort itself out.

aghast that's darn near alcohol abuse....when you open a bottle of wine....you only have a few hours to consume it before it because pure swill. ? ?

Funny story.....if you buy a bottle of wine while eating at Wonderland; if you still have wine left in your glass and want to take it with you.....they will swap it into a different glass. They are really proud of their glasses in Wonderland and don't want to lose them ?

Thinking too narrow....in the US at least it is being used to drive mob actions that have negative economic implications and created negatives for the current administration for the sole purpose of impacting the upcoming elections. No matter where you fall in the political spectrum that is troubling.....and that's about all I'll say about it.

Simple answer from me: I am not concerned.

To be fair to many of the southern cities...they don't have a fleet of snow plows and mountains of salt sitting around.....it just doesn't make sense for them to make the capital investment annually for snow events that are so rare. Just run to the store, know the highways will be a shiitz storm and make french toast ?

And since you made prime now....in April you will be awarded a prime level free cruise

Book more cruises.

When I was 19....I dropped out of college and took a sales job selling stereo/electronics at a primarily known for white goods retailed in the N.E. I was really good at it and won a national sales competition on Mission Loud Speakers and was awarded an all expense paid trip for 2 to a Cancun resort for 4 days. They had a swim up pool bar too.....I remember it vividly as my 19yr old ass (and my friend that I took) tried really really hard to give ourselves alcohol poisoning ? ? ? I try to stay away from swim up bars because of that. hehehehehehehehehe

Every time I go to cococay (or Labadee) I do the same thing. I rent a cabana....spend 3 hours in the water....then sit in the cabana looking at the waves for a little while, eat lunch, and then spend another 3 hours in the water. Then I waddle back to the ship with typical overweight American sand/salt water rash and get a shower saying "why did I spend so much time in the water?" What an awesome time.....I can't wait for April now. And on edit....probably doesn't answer your question ;). There are lockers at cococay you can shove your stuff and storage if you rent a cabana

Happy happy, joy joy.

Maybe you should have made your ghost guests children ? Otherwise you can buy the drink package on board. I also don't understand why you would need to pretend to book 4 people in each room.....and not just book each room with the 2 people who are going.

The only negative I can think of with the ATS......is noise from the shows will interrupt a sleep cycle that starts at 7pm With the loft suite....you can 1. Ask for a cot so they can sleep upstairs so you could relax downstairs till you want to go to sleep 2. Use suit cases to block stairs if there is concern

Don't let it bother you. Everyone tips their own way. Tipping is included so anything you give is above and beyond. Imagine how I feel/felt when I tipped my Genie $200 for a 9 night cruise with my family of 4 and then come back to see people saying they tip $50-$100/night/person to their Genie......I'm not going to tip $1800-$3600

First sailing with RCCL in August 2018.....reach diamond on April 18th 2020 (2nd day of our 5th cruise) We did it just by booking suites and only sailing 8 days on longer for each sailing....the suites get you double points per sailing and the longer trips add up fast. Didn't really do it for the points though....took what we thought would be a once in a lifetime kinda trip, fell in love with it, and just really like the big rooms so we keep going back (plus the casino keeps dangling carrots) ?
