Luckily we have 3 rooms so the boys can live in their own filth

It looks like the consent form that Royal provides has a section for medical consent on it.

We were on the first sailing of Odyssey back in July and the testing requirement was implemented the Thursday before our Saturday sailing. So we had to run out Thursday night and find a test and had a backup rapid test down Friday morning before we flew to the port Friday afternoon. That was super stressful. At least this time we have the tests in hand and just have to worry about the negative results.

Thanks for the responses! I do feel like im over thinking it, as long as they have the documentation and know what to pack they should be fine. The COVID testing is giving me the extra stress. I bought the 6 Pack from EMED so I should be all set but we will need to test people from 3 different households.

My family and I are experienced cruisers but our next cruise both my kids are bringing friends who have never cruised before. Cruising as much as we have I know what to expect and what to pack but I don't know what to communicate to the parents of the kids coming with us. I found the consent form that is needed to be signed by the parents but other than that I'm having a hard to figuring out what they need to know other then the basics like itinerary. Anyone have experience with this and can give some advice?

Any ideas when shore excursion for these two ports will start to be released? They have a couple excursions for return day in NY but nothing yet for the two stops in Bermuda.

As long as the rooms are next to each other or across the hall the kids do not need an adult booked in the room. We have our 14 and 12 year olds booked next door on our next cruise .

I'm sailing on Empress next June and since we live driving distance from the port, my wife and I plan to bring our golf clubs so we can play in Bermuda. I understand its easy getting the ship on board the first day, just mark it with luggage tags for the room. But does anyone have experience with taking them on and off the ship at Port. I would think its a pretty awkward process to get them back on the ship. Does anyone have experience? Thanks

So in reality you can book one of these Suites with just two people and purchase a interior room for the other two people and have everyone stay in the Suite. RCCL allows that? I would think they would want to charge everyone at the Suite rate.

i booked it in March and Dorian had zero effect on the sailing.

Prices seem out of whack on this cruise. Key is $24.99 and VOOM SURF + STREAM Voyage Package - 1 Device is $21.99 a day. Would be a no brainier to get key for only $3 more a day.

It was actually $22.39 a day. See attached screenshot

I defiantly paid like $24 a day for 4 devices last month

The cruise planner just added internet for my June 2020 Empress cruise. The VOOM SURF + STREAM Voyage Package - 4 Devices package is priced at $75.96 a day!!! I just was on liberty in August and the same plan was about $24 a day. Is this normal for Empress?

I'm looking at 2 interior rooms on a 7 night cruise. Is it really more of a hassle to go thru next cruise?

I think it's a group rate.

I booked thru a ta for my upcoming cruise and was able to apply myvegas obc to the booking. Is it different for the % off?

I'm considering a cruise on oasis next summer and was trying to figure out the best way to book. I will be on liberty in a few weeks so I could book on ship for an extra discount. My dilemma is currently my TA is offering a lower price then purchasing straight from RCCL. Also I have enough coins in myvegas to get a 10% discount on my next cruise. How can I stack these 3 discounts and get the lowest price possible.

This was great, thank you!!! We have taken the kids on some of the smaller ships(Enchantment and Majesty) already and they have been fine. I was just a little concerned they didnt have their own space like on the other ships but from the teen cruise compass it looks like they take over part of Boleros Lounge for them to hang out in.

I have concerns as well about my two teens 13 and 15 being bored. I see they don't have a designated teen area but from looking at cruise compasses they seem to do a lot of teen activities. Im currently booked on the June 29th sailing and i'm going back and forth on if I should cancel.

Thank you, I looked and couldn't find it

thanks for the info....we are at 46 days before departure. My wife and I's cabin got the ability to bid but my kids room did not. I wouldn't upgrade unless i knew they would come with us or near us.

My family of 4 is currently booked in 2 balcony rooms. I just got the email for bidding on Royal Up. If I bid and won a 2 bedroom Grand Suite, would it be possible to have all 4 of us in one room and cancel the other balcony? How would it work? What would I end up paying?

Check your cruise planners. Sailing Liberty in August and my deluxe drink package dropped to $46 a night. Lowest I had seen was $49. Saved my wife and I $50

My only real concern is check in. The other stuff is easy enough to handle. My wife doesn't help with the vacation planning or really care about the cost.
