Unknown why but it is still closed

Been on board this week. Heard there was around 5400 on board. Absolutely no complaints for this cruise. The crew have been fantastic and all meals in main dining and and one night in Hooked were great. 
Shows were Hiro,Flight,1977,Randy Cabral and two comedians. 
With that said this ship is back!

Wife and I just did the emed on line tested so easy and quick. Double boosted Miami and Symphony he we come.

Isn’t she home ported there now? 

Yes but she was pulled in at an unusual dock for her and she is now leaving 

Looks like an unscheduled stop for medical emergency? I can’t be sure but it looked like more than one ambulance has been at the dock. 

I’m not seeing this listed anywhere for a dining option. Have they done away with it we were going to eat there one day probably for lunch while hanging out in solarium. 

Mine were delivered in three days after placing my order.

I’m debating on making a royal up bid for a crown loft on symphony. My only issue is a back problem I have and then getting the suit cases up the steps. Would I be able to get somebody on the crew to carry them up the steps? It stinks getting old

I’m getting Royal up offers for our May 7th SOS cruise. We are already in a junior suite. The cheapest upgrade I see is a one bedroom grand suite for $800.00 for two. I’m debating if it’s really worth the cost. Also do minimum bids ever go down?

As of April 5th every RCL ship falls into this category as reported to the CDC. Hopefully this trend stop soon. I’m sailing may 7th on Symphony. Orange being the highest rating.

Is there a way to just heat hot water for tea?

Ok I missed something what’s an OP. I feel really silly posting this.

We sail May7th hopefully things keep getting better. Been waiting for this since 2020.

Not sure what to order. They have a two pack or six pack. Those options seem ridiculous. I just need two but I’m thinking it would be nice if there was an option to get three. I seem to remember somebody saying their kit was missing something

Thanks.

I just don't see the cruise lines getting rid of vaccine or testing requirements. It has worked so well, even during Omicron's peak. That's a safety net I don't see the cruise lines giving up.

Not to mention not one cruise line has even hinted at dropping these requirements. 

I love the CDC dropping the warning. Should have been done months ago, but proof is in the pudding with the lack of cases.

When looking  at ship status on the CDC web page there are still cases being detected across all lines. I personally just feel a little safer getting on SOS nest month if they keep the current requirements..

Just wondering if anybody has used any of the waterproof case for their phones. If so how did you find using the camera while it was in the case. We’re the pictures ok? 

Any suggestions or thoughts on what they call reef safe sunscreens. Several Carribean islands are requesting those to be used now. 

I checked that web page they only have a six pack for 150.00. I only need two and two extra for back up in case there’s a problem with one.

So for my own peace of mind I just took a look at the CDC cruise line page for Royal.

6 Orange this triggers an apparent investigation 

8 Yellow this just triggers monitoring 

4 Green no issues 

These stats are just for the passenger carrying ships as of 3-21-2022.

I’m on SOS in May which will hopefully still be green 
 

My wife and I enjoy just floating on a raft when in the ocean. Does anyone know if the rafts are included at the beach club. If not I’m looking at renting two for the day. 49 days to SOS. 

One more quick question can the OBC be used by either person on the reservation?

Due to my happy fingers I’m probably going to be left with some OBC during our May cruise. Is there anyway of collecting that or do I just lose it? 

Not sure why but my invoice shows 5:30. Emailed my TA to try and change. Person I talked to at Royal said he couldn’t change it.
