One more tip -- if you have the 1-device package and want to switch from one device to another, you don't have to log out of one and log in on another -- just use the "new" device to attempt to log in-- it will say "Too Many Devices" and then will give you the option to "bump" the first device off.  Of course, you may want to coordinate if there's another person using the device that will be bumped off.  It does save some time and complexity though.

Apparently Vision lost several lines. Allure came in to buffer the waves. Transferred crew as well.

I ordered a 2pk for my Jan 10th sailing. It said says it was manufactured 2021-12-09 and expires 2022-11-06 so that means that Optum has some of the newer test.

FYI: I received no shipping information from Emed for our tests and they showed up on our doorstep 3 days after ordering.

Order in limbo.  No shipping information as of 12/29/21.  
EDIT: FedEx appeared with them on 12/30/21.  I was never provided shipping info and even now my eMed account shows shipping as "pending".
The good news is they were manufactured just before Xmas so they have a longer expiration date.

Yup, I'll be on that cruise.  Haven't ever done one this short... should be fun!

On Freedom (4-Night) they couldn't test me on Debarkation Day (one day between that and embarking on Oasis) so Guest Services provided me with a proctored AG card test to take on my own.  Maybe ask someone else at Guest Services?

yep!  pressing on.

Anyone still packing for this trip? 

From 2019

Yes, they should get the extra point per night for going solo.

Just curious! Does the remaining person in the room get the same C&A points or do they get credit for the no-show as well (double) since they are paying the full cabin rate now? Our friend may have to go solo next month! Thanks!
 

Nah, when you go through the b2b process, they don't ask you the same questions they do when you first board

Nope. The B2B board first, no check-in time is needed.
However it may be good practice to still select a time just in case anything happens and you don't end up on the first leg but you're still sailing on the second.
