It wasn’t me either but now I’m very curious!

Same here... uploaded on 4/5 and only one in our group of 5 has been validated so far.

I've had great success with their text customer support 800-256-6649. They've actually responded faster through text than twitter or facebook.

I just received mine the other day and they expire January 2023.

For my visit on Ovation the ship did a 180° turn to starboard and then returned down Endicott Arm.  Here is a time lapse.

Stunning video! So it looks like my parents will have an excellent view from their port side stateroom, since the ship turns toward starboard to return (assuming they still do it this way). Thank you for sharing the videos.

As stated by some, it will be the time of the port the ship is scheduled to leave from. Since a lot of sailings occur out of Florida people assume EST but it is not always the case. 

I suggest looking up the time zone of your departure and converting it to your time zone, instead of just basing it on EST.

Thanks! Departure port is Seattle, and I live in Florida, so I guess it will be 3am for me.

On my cruise, the ship spent at least an hour making continuous slow 360s, with a couple of breaks keeping station.

Which ship were you on? I've read the smaller ships take more time there and do a 360, but the larger ships like Ovation are in and out pretty quickly and only do a 180. 

I've read here on the boards that the ship does a 180 degree turn, but is that just the ship turning around to leave? Or does it turn 90 degrees in both directions so both port and starboard sides have a viewing opportunity? My elderly parents will most like stay on their balcony which is why I'm asking. If only one side has a viewing, I will make sure to take the time to ensure they get on an upper deck for viewing.

I will find out Monday night. I'll be watching the NCAA men's basketball final that night and Tuesday is check in day for the Ovation May 20 sailing. Won't have to wait too long after the game to get past midnight Eastern and try to check in. If it's ship time, I'll probably wait until 3 hours past the start of check in since I'll be getting up for work at 6:00 EDT.

That's my sailing too... I'm hoping it's midnight eastern time, I don't feel like setting the alarm for 3am 

I will be checking in soon on the app for our May Alaska cruise. Is check-in time midnight Eastern time or ship time (which would be 3am Eastern)?  

Sounds frustrating! I'm going through a similar issue and the Resolution department has been able to help. They are available starting 8 AM on weekdays and 9 AM EST on weekends.

We're also sailing this May with my 18 year old son so I hope we see some others around his age as well.

Every time I either call in for a price adjustment, or my air2sea reservation changes (basically anytime my reservation is touched in any way), the taxes/fees/port expenses doubles. RCCL support says it's because it was a lift & shift reservation. Each time I have to call and wait about an hour on hold for the Resolution team to adjust it back to what it should be. I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else?

Has anyone had to help another person (ie, a vaccinated child or teen) with their test?  DD is 31, but disabled, so likely DH will  have to assist her since she cannot do it herself, or even answer for herself (she can speak, but really won't even understand it, so we'll just explain it to her very generally).  Is it difficult to do?  Should I try calling ahead of time? We will be taking the tests in 2 weeks, and ordered them from Optum.

I had to assist someone with their test. It wasn't an issue, I repeated and explained what the proctor was saying and letting the person know how to answer. I even helped with opening the package too. 

Has the process changed to call in and work through the automated prompts to get my invoice emailed to me? I’m usually able to call and then choose options 4, 2, 1 to request confirmation but now it just says they are closed and to call back during business hours.

Mendenhall Glacier was okay it's receded so much it was a disappointment this past season. There's a picture of what it used to look like in the visitor center and that's what I remembered. 

Do you think a trip to Mendenhall is still worth the visit for first-timers to Juneau?

Ours took a little over 2 weeks (with the U.S. CDC vaccine card)

We did Mendenhall on our own. Took a shuttle bus that was available at the port and walked to Nugget Falls and back which was about a mile round-trip maybe?

 

How far is the walk from the ship to the kiosk area at the port where you catch the shuttle buses?

Are food items marked gluten free at the buffet on CocoCay? 

I was checking prices for my Independence 12/13 sailing right now and there are plenty of non-suite cabins available. Maybe their website had a problem earlier?

We got the email this morning cancelling Nassau for our 12/13 Independence sailing.  

I just got the email notifying us of the cancellation as well. I saw on a Facebook group that it might be due to port construction. Not sure though…

We received ours last week. Box expiry date says 9/21/21 so with the 3 month extension, we’re at 12/21/21. Barely made it for our 12/13 sailing!

I'm really hesitant to go to CVS for our pre-cruise Covid tests.  We received our vaccines there but despite many hours on the phone with their customer support, our vaccines never showed up in the app. My concern is taking the test at CVS but not being able to access the results. For those of you who got the vaccines at CVS, do the results show in the same place in the app as the vaccines?  We'll probably either do the home tests/Walgreens just for peace of mind.

I am team mask-lanyard allll day (although I havent religiously worn masks since CA dropped the mandate in June) and love how easy it is to remove to eat/drink while also not having to worry about shoving it in a pocket and all the excessive fabric touching that goes with that. I have been on two vacations since covid and we just brought a ton of varying cloth masks each to deal with the constant need to swap it out for a fresh one. 

I could see the lanyard being handy when you're walking the ship and moving between locales that do and do not require masks.

Where did you get the mask lanyard from?
