We are excited about this sailing as well. Been 2 years since our last RCCL cruise.  Will have a 12 and 14 year old girls who are who can hardly wait. Aruba and Curacao are new locations to us and are a bit overwhelmed with the what exactly to do to get the full experience of the islands. 

You can use this site to determine your DBP ROI based on the different alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages you will consume per day.  I know there is another website someone on the board created to also compare your ROI.

Hey Y'all! The fam and I are headed out on HOS on April 3 from Cape Canaveral and was wondering what everyones sail away traditions are.  I am looking for some ideas on where the best place to be on the ship is and/or other cool activities to do for sail away.  I'm all ears. 
 

If only they could make the WOW bands totally replace the SeaPass Card...

No, there are complimentary umbrellas at Labadee.

I hadn't noticed...

We're on Oasis April '21 too.  And hoping all is working by then.  And we're on her again Mar '22.  Our favorite ship.

That story is pure clickbait. "The Carnival Cruise Ship That Spread Coronavirus Around the World"
Give me a break. Let's conveniently forget that the virus spread across the world on airplanes, which were never stopped at all and given a free pass for being the primary means of transmission from one country or continent to another.

.... at least from the Bahamas:

Bit embarrassing if after a few to many ???? someone gets the bottoms and the mask mixed up ???

Word on the street: Prices on Llamas & Sheep on the rise due to increased demands for Emotional Support Animals......

Shown here in a graph, because if its in a graph its true: 

I agree with @WAAAYTOOO…..that's a fantastic price for the deluxe drink package.   Better lock it in now before the interns get fired again.

I don’t think you can expect the drink package to be any lower than $34 PP/PD.  That’s pretty low !

Do not think that is a worry at this point - but I get why people would be concerned !  they are a great and very supportive company

Abos-freaking-lutley!! Perfect!
 

Long as it's at least 7 days I'm totally down with that, I love the private islands and sea days. 

Sign me up, the more sea days and beach days the better

Absolutely! I love love love the private island life. Shoot, I'd sail if there were no port days and just sea days! I'm so ready to get back on a ship ? 

the only ports were CocoCay and Labadee? Wondering if this could possibly be an early option if/when cruises start up again. Obviously not the entire RC Caribbean fleet but I would be open to 4 sea days and 2 private island stops on an Oasis class. 
What about you? ?

Do you expect anything less from CNN?

I've seen a couple YouTube videos about this, but searches on the CDC site don't bring anything up that is this draconian. It seems very poorly thought out if this policy is the case.
Has anyone seen the actual policy?
Once the situation settles, and cruising starts, I don't see this policy prevailing especially once it hits the courts and there are temporary holds placed on the policy. This thing spreads in hospitals...what are they going to do with people who exit those buildings. Cruising is getting a really bad rap through this and is being made a scapegoat.

Hearing "welcome home" as I board

I simply miss the views of the open sea, at & just before twilight.

... I also miss that first tropical drink after lunch to kick off the cruise!
