Expiration Extension BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test
BB1 replied to TelecomTom's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I've used the emed tests for 3 cruises and they were wonderful. 1000 times better than going somewhere to get tested. -
Please don't give CDC any ideas.

I can always hope. I remember hearing that there was no way an Oasis class ship would ever come to Galveston and that was wrong.

Jewel of the Seas Cancelled Sailing Until February
BB1 replied to Perry's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Doubtful it's a crew issue. Most cases are asymptomatic or resolve shortly. Even with current guidelines they wouldn't be quarantined that long and some sailings are canceled through April. Just my guess. -

I'm wondering if the cancelations are due to ports rejecting ships. Why else would they cancel? -
Will cruising be put on pause again?
BB1 replied to PG Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but when Florida won their lawsuit against the CDC, didn't that establish that the CDC didn't have the authority to shut down the cruise industry. Maybe someone has that authority but i don't know who that is. If anyone knows, please enlighten me. -
Oasis?

Also, if I remember correctly, part of the argument against the CSO was it singled out cruising and created many double standards regarding other industries. That doesn't seem very defensible. -

BB1 replied to PG Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
I guess I'm unclear who would order cruises to stop. I'm pretty sure the CDC can't. If anyone tried there would probably be more lawsuits and any argument they made would apply to airlines and other venues that I think will never stop operating. Maybe he's a Senator with poor popularity and he is trying to grandstand or divert attention from his poor popularity. Time will tell. -

BB1 replied to PG Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Personally I feel that it's very unlikely. The people cruising right now had bad timing. Things hit so fast that they didn't have time to evaluate their options. I am cruising in 3 weeks and if we have no shows or stops it won't bother me or deter me at all from going. My point is that I know this beforehand and I can cancel if I choose. The current cruisers were not in that position and disappointment is inevitable for many of them. -
I think Uber from Hobby is about $50 and from Bush about $65. I could be off but you can go to an Uber estimator web site and find out. They also have shuttles but they charge by the person and are less convenient.

Covid surge … Do you think RC will cancel upcoming cruises?
BB1 replied to AAD's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I also don't things will be shut down. The state of New York is imploding yet the politicians repeatedly say there will be no lock downs. The numbers on ships are far lower then the numbers in the community. If people are concerned, they really shouldn't be booking or going on cruises as there will likely be many incidents on ships, just because of the overall prevalence. They would save themselves a lot of disappointment and angst. -
Just got home after cruising on Millenium. We had a fantastic time and the entertainment was some of the best we've seen. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that Celebrity will move a ship to Galveston. It would just be much easier for us but if we have to fly to Florida, we'll just grin and bear it.

Good idea. Thanks.

Is there any place to wait outside the terminal?

I am arriving at 6am in Miami airport Thursday morning before a cruise from Ft. Lauderdale. I know, I would prefer to come in a day early but it wasn't possible. I figured that by the time I got my luggage and took an Uber to Fort Lauderdale it would be around 8am. Will the terminal be open for us to sit and wait that early? Thanks.
-
We'll be on Millennium over Thanksgiving, that is if our flight doesn't get canceled. Thanks for your review. We're really looking forward to going.
-
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I remember asking at Next Cruise if they would ever get an Oasis class ship in Galveston and for a long time I was told it wasn't possible. Who knows?
-
I was just reading how Carnival and Norwegian are both moving their newest, nicest ships to Galveston in 2023. I love Allure and already have bookings but I really like Celebrity and hope they move a ship to Galveston as well. Any rumors?
-
I applied an FCC that was more than owed and so resulted in an excess balance. How long does it take to get another FCC for the balance? Will I have to wait until after the cruise that I used the original FCC for? Thank you.

We just got off of Independence. It was our second cruise in the last two months. I feel like these are opportunities of a lifetime. No crowds, fantastic service and everything went as smooth as you could ever want. I'm sure I'll be reminiscing about these cruises for years.
