Welcome to the boards! Here's an excellent place to start:

No it is not.

Actually, current Amsterdam protocols call for the test to be two days prior if you’re vaccinated. I’m sailing out of Amsterdam on June 20, so I have been following carefully. The one day thing was for Italy cruises, but that has been changed to match the rest of the departure ports for a bit.

Report to your muster station, after watching the videos!

ooh, yeah, that might be less good

Welcome to the boards! Generally, if the tour company puts a minimum age (or a maximum for that matter), it means that no one under that age can go on the excursion at all.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this recap! So informative and your photos are great!

Welcome to the boards! Pre-covid, both those venues were included in the drink package on Spectrum. I don't imagine that has changed.

Welcome to the boards! You can use a site like this one: Coco Cay (Bahamas, Royal Caribbean) cruise port schedule | CruiseMapper

Likely the old, since she fits. But it may depend on what other traffic is scheduled that day.

Just go to the Loyalty desk next time you're on a cruise and you'll be all set for the next one

I was able to give my husband's preference too last time I called. I was prepared to put him on the phone but they didn't need him.

Welcome to the boards! Are you flying in the same day your cruise departs? If so, when does your flight arrive? Are you on a domestic flight or international? Are you checking bags?

Yes, you are correct. Any proctored test, either in person or via video, that produces a certificate that meets Royal's requirements will be accepted.

Are you still on it? If so you can just edit the title. Unless there's already a roll call for your new trip?

Was the email [email protected] or [email protected]? Those worked once upon a time.

Welcome to the boards! Do you mean what free drinks are available in the Windjammer? Coffee, tea, iced tea, water, punch/lemonade.

I'm running a 60% success rate when I bid, and I always bid the minimum. But it depends a lot on what kind of cabin you have to start -- if they can "sell" your cabin to someone else, they're more interested in your lowball bid. In your case, I would assume they would have bidders from interior or view cabins that might want your balcony, so I would give it a shot.

Unfortunately no. Sorry! Hopefully you can find a new addiction onboard

Hi! You can definitely use your shareholder OBC while onboard. Enjoy your cruise!

I cut them apart and run them through my multi-sheet, double-sided scanner at work (shh!). Takes 90 seconds and puts them all in a single PDF.

Welcome to the boards! Your group sounds like a great fit for the Water Park Cabanas. You’ll have a place to lounge, park access for as little or as much time as you like, and a central location where everyone knows they can meet.

Welcome to the boards! In the Italy protocols it says telehealth tests are accepted. Likely you’re getting mixed answers because from some other ports they are not accepted for the unvaccinated.

Often the lunch menu is more limited, at least at the fixed price places. Still a great value, I think. We regularly do speciality restaurants at lunch time since it is cheaper and often less crowded.
