I’m on the 1/9/22 Oasis cruise and like you, I have been checking frequently for available suites as sailing nears. When I checked this afternoon it was the first time I noticed it was no longer on the website. I just figured (Hoping) it was an IT glitch or no longer appeared because they were limiting capacity. I’m not letting myself think it is anything more sinister than that!!! We’ve waited too long.

Yes, I have a FSA which is all I am familiar with but I was very happy when they began allowing FSA dollars to be used to purchase at home test! I was also able to use my end of the year leftover dollars to purchase sunscreen for the upcoming voyage!!

You can currently use you FSA/HSA monies to purchase your test. Since this is the end of the year it is a good way to use. I purchased the 6 pack on emed and used all FSA dollars.

This is our first time in Star Class and we sail Jan 9. We received an email from our Genie, Dec 12. We sent an email back on Sunday Jan 11 and are awaiting an additional response.

Just 17 for 2022 for us but that’s a personal high I believe!! First star Class in exactly 4 weeks.

Thank you so much. I just missed that!! Definitely more worth it. At double the price it was a pass!!!

For our sailing it is priced $373. Is that per person? When I put 2 guests it doubles it in my card. Just want to understand before I purchase.

Both the train and the bus will leave Seward around 5-6 pm which will give you a full day in Seward to tour. I loved Seward. I'd stay there an extra day but there are some nice excursions you can take out of Anchorage to different glacier hikes that are about an hour or two out of Anchorage. Just schedule any of those excursions pretty far in advance, especially any that include plane excursions.

Thank you. This is a great resource.

We are sailing out of Miami in January on Oasis. Is there a way to confirm what terminal we will need to arrive for embarkation. It's been a long time since sailing so I just wanted to be prepared for where we should be going on the big day!! TIA, all!

@Tyler151unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question, but you might try reaching out to the Royal Caribbean twitter account. I have found them most helpful and they may be able to reach out to a specific ship for you, for guidance.

They might consider doing some at home covid tests or signing up for a test at a near by provider to see where they stand currently as to whetther positive or negative. This will give them an idea as to whether this will be an issue as the cruise draws near.

I just set up the app on my husband’s phone. Upload App to phone, set up new account for him and then you can link all upcoming cruises on his app with reservation numbers.

Welcome @NewCruisingChuckbest thing I did was join and ask lots of questions. This is an incredibly helpful group.

I am sure our excitement will be as yours, Just wanting to do nothing but get on board!! So happy to be back asking questions on the board and having this to look forward to. Thanks for the response. It is a big help.

So the lines for Star Class and suites is easily recognized at Port Miami?? We board in January in Miami for out first Star Class. I paid my full fares today and couldn't be more excited!!

This happened to me last night at midnight. I was checking the app around 1130 to see if check in came on line before midnight. As I pushed in check in, even after midnight, it kept telling me it was still preparing for my experience. Decided to open up a online page on safari and signed in. Voila, check in was available. Began check in around 12:05 and snagged an 1130 check in time for Oasis out of Miami on 1/09/22. After checking in on line, I opened my app and It showed I was checked in and then i was able to photograph vaccine cards and enter necessary information. So happy I decided to check on line when app wasn’t giving me a check in.

Happy Thanksgiving to All! And to top it all off, I was able to check in to our first cruise since 2019!! Stayed up until midnight to check in and snagged an 11:30 boarding time.

Is Cozumel a port that is being changed these days? I have not seen anything but noticed my excursion to Cozumel in my cruise planner was now showing no "title" as it originally did and only showed "no details". Still shows as paid for and I have not seen a refund. The cruise planner does still show other excursions available. Just thinking I amy need to change my excursion. Trying to wait until after the Thanksgiving Holiday until I attempt a phone call. Is there a designated excursion number??

Do suite class enter in time slot lines in Miami or is there a separate suite entrance? First time Star Class cruisers. My understanding is suites can enter an hour in advance of appointed time. How does that work?

We were on Ovation in May 2019 for Alaska and had a Junior Suite. We had both a coffee maker and tea kettle. It was our understanding that the coffee maker and tea kettle are found in Junior suite rooms and above.

Happy Sailing!!!

Full disclosure: Have sailed on Mariner and haven't sailed on Indy but Team "extra day"!!!

For those that have checked in recently: Did you enter just enough information to get your check in time and then go back and finish by uploading vaccine information or do everything at one time? Wondered which way was most effective, or if it matters at all, for gettIng best port arrival time. Is it better/easier to check in on the app or online? Any help as to the step by step mechanics is most appreciated. It’s been a very long time since I’ve checked in and with firm arrival times it seems to be much more important than before. TIA!

I have a 1/09/22 sailing and my check in is listed on the app as 11/25/21. So it looks like the upcoming cruises are holding pretty close to 45 days. I will religiously continue to check the app just in case the ROYAL IT decides a quick change is necessary. Don't want to miss it if they move it up!
