Yep, Royal has you covered with that.  
Happy sailing to you!

came here to write this. You can use everywhere but as someone who breaks out and has sensitive skin this is my first choice.

Many Sunscreens will create a rash on my upper chest / lower neck (a common location if someone is going to react)  - when someone has skin that reacts that way, it can be difficult to find one that works! Supergoop products also tend to work for me regarding sensitivity (as do the EltaMD ones).

I LOVE this primarily for my face.
It's a K-beauty brand and since I know sunscreen is so frequently worn under makeup in Korean beauty regimens I was excited about it being non-greasy. It's so breathable and lightweight I often forget I have it on. It's also a teeeeeny bit moisturizing.
 
no comments on if it's reef safe or not.

Reef safe is important too! Some label it explicitly, some don't so check the ingredients. Avoid ingredients like Oxybenzone and Octinoxate.

I like Sun Bum for going to the Caribbean because it's reef safe, so I can use the same one for the whole cruise including port days. 
 

Supergoop unseen sunscreen is my favorite for my face. 

Both did the emed Covid tests and NEGATIVE!   Two more days!

Sun bum or coola 

I love all Neutrogena brand stuff. I’ve also been using Aveeno positively radiant moisturizer sunscreen with SPF 30 every morning on my face, even if I’m not really going out that day. It’s just a good moisturizer and they always say to wear some sunscreen every day. Both are approved by my dermatologist! 

We have had Aarhus (Denmark), Gdańsk (Poland) and Klaipeda (Lithuania) added to our new itinerary.

In case you don’t know or haven’t heard about it be aware that for a transatlantic sailing the test requirement is only 1 day prior to the sailing instead of 2
See the statement from Royal we received yesterday.
Transatlantic Sailing 

We can't wait for you to join us on our Transatlantic sailing. Please note, the following information is only for guests departing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida and ending in Barcelona, Spain.
Due to the fluidity of this situation, our protocols are subject to change, and we are committed to keeping you informed if they do.
Some destinations we visit require additional testing and may have restrictions for guests who are not up-to-date with their vaccines. As a result, we strongly recommend getting boosted before your cruise.
 
Testing
Pre-Cruise 
All guests 2 and older, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to present a negative test result for an antigen test taken no more than
1 day before our sailing.

During the Cruise & Prior to Disembarking 
Guests 12 and older who are considered unvaccinated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or who are not up-to-date with their vaccines will require additional testing during our sailing depending on itinerary. 
 

Five words. Old German men in Speedos

If you are entering and are from are from a Non EU country, Spain requires you to have a booster shot if it has been 270 days since your second dose. I think Royal needs to be clear on their wording, it is confusing for people for sure.  I have my booster so I just have to order more testing kits as I arrive 2 days before departure and my test for entry into the US will not cover the test now needed for Spain.

Up to date in the eyes of the CDC is fully vaccinated and boosted (if eligible). Technically you can be up to date with no booster.
Eligibility for booster: For Pfizer/ Moderna, booster after 5 months from last dose in two dose series. For J&J, 2 months after dose. For 5-11 group, boosters are not recommended at this time.

New Rules for entry into Spain and other countries by ship.  You now have to be fully vaccinated no exceptions even for kids.
All Royal Caribbean guests must present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination with the final dose administered at least 14 days before sailing. Guests who do not meet this requirement, including unvaccinated children under age 12, will not be permitted to board a transatlantic sailing departing from the U.S. to Europe.

I think this is an important point.  There are waaay more than 7 "unique" menus on the ships.  There are probably dozens.  Some have been semi-retired over the years but as far as I know, they still exist.
Many years ago, we happened to experience just how many different menus options there are.  For reasons that don't need to be described here, we went with one of the MDR managers into a closet where the paper menus live.  There were piles and piles of menus (it was actually a huge mess !!); many that I had never seen before.  So there is no shortage of options for different menus.  The limiting factor, of course, is whether or not the ship has the supplies/ingredients (and perhaps, talent) to prepare some of the less-well-known menus.  If the menus repeat over the course of a longer cruise, I would guess that it's b/c of the lack of resources (food and/or chefs familiar with their preparation) on the ship and NOT b/c they don't have any other options.

The "Seapass Card" doesn't come on a lanyard.  We just purchased and received the following:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F2HZT52?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
They are retractable and of a hard plastic design.

I hope so too!!.  So nerve racking especially when you have to travel for 12 hours on planes and going through airports hoping not to pick it up before your cruise.
