    Marlena reacted to Matt in REALLY ANNOYED …. Would have cancelled if they told us this YESTERDAY when we had 48 hours to go!   
    It's a shame on two fronts: guests not following the rules and Royal not enforcing the rules. Both are pet peeves of mine, primarily the latter.

    I think they are just trying to adapt to the changing covid climate. And it definitely is changing for the worse.
    They need to do everything in their power to prove cruising is safe and not get shut down again.
    But I do agree they should stay with less capacity.

    Marlena reacted to twangster in Updated Omicron Mask Policy (Dec 17th - Jan 5)   
    Given all the alerts that have been popping up on my phone over the the last few weeks and days it's pretty clear this one is different.
    From sporting events cancelled, games being played with no live audience, state after province after country reporting dramatic increases it seems very reasonable for a minor policy update for an already very safe mode of vacationing - cruising.
    Holiday sailings are projected to be very busy, much more busy than we've seen since the restart.  The timing of this variant is pretty lousy with the peak of restart cruising upon us next week.  It stands to reason, all things considered, that something had to change.  Do they start calling people and canceling their cruises to get numbers down?  That wouldn't go over very well.  They can't catch a break.  Something has to change given what we do know and don't know about Omicron.  
    A minor mask policy change seems like a pretty reasonable response.
    I've sailed other lines during the peak of Delta and some of those lines didn't have the concept of vaccinated venues.  It never occurred to me at the time that those cruises were intolerable because of the mask policy indoors and lack of vaccinated venues.
    Like it or not the pandemic isn't over, we are not done with unpopular protocols and the potential for changes down the road.
    It could be a lot worse.  The industry could be shut down again if there are major cases on board.  A minor mask policy change is the least we can all do to keep the industry going.

    They did not give me strict instructions. However im of the mentality that anytime anyone is awaiting results they should be staying home ( which i did).

    Marlena reacted to Eggbert in Did royal discontinue PCR for international traveller?   
    I just called and spoke to a C & A rep - she told me that the program is continuing through March and although it might not be on the website it will be mentioned in the protocol email Royal sends for your individual cruise.

    Simply not true!  Wife and I went on SOS Oct.30th and it was a breeze.  Much easier than Port Canaveral last week.  We arrived at the terminal parked and were onboard in like 25 mins.  Our arrival time was at 3 pm, but it was super easy and fast.  Hope your experience will echo ours.

    Thank you for your daughter's participation in the trial. That is very generous of you...helping us all get out of this pandemic.

    Marlena reacted to FionaMG in Making dinner reservations for linked rooms   
    Yes, you can. All the passengers on the linked bookings show up on the app and it literally takes just a couple of seconds to do. You can do cancellations too if your plans change on board.

    My wife and I have a cruise booked with our 3-year-old for May. I'm hoping he's eligible and fully vaxxed by then.
    My wife has a PhD in biochemistry and has spent her career studying infectious diseases. I've spent the pandemic working in a hospital. We have our reasons. Many reasons. Science being the #1 reason. Same reasons he's been given all his other vaccinations.

    Although my assumption is that it will eventually become mandatory as it becomes available. I have to assume that they will give an amount of time for it to become in effect. A buffer to give people time.
