I would call the credit card company and file a fraud claim on the charge; let them fight it out for you.

I have NEVER lost my deposit on an upgrade on same ship same itinerary.

BUT no changes in the vaccine requirements

Food is very subjective. Playmakers isn’t offered on all Oasis class ships.

The latest is absolutely no change, yet, officially. Even when a change is announced, the vaccine mandate isn’t going away.

Fantasyland - and not at all the way this, or very many other international corporations, operate.

There were some exemptions

When you booked, you agreed that the deposit is NON refundable. Like it or not, you agreed to it.

That isn’t economic influence, that is the reality of being out of business. Economic influence is the cruise lines telling a sovereign country “do things my way or I will take my ship elsewhere”

Not ambiguous at all, the OP was specifically asking about their carry on bags.

20% is a rumor; yet to be confirmed

Sorry but I disagree, the cruise line economic influence has been proven to be negligible the last couple years IMO

No, you did not read that right re testing windows No country receives 50% of their revenue from cruise ships.

It’s looking, more and more, that testing is not going anywhere; regardless of cruise length.

You received that answer because that is the current policy for unvaccinated passengers; PCR at 3 days, then test at the pier, then test again onboard near the end of the week. IMO this confirms the suspicion that nothing official has been disseminated to the troops on the ground.

I have not seen anything official posted about Royal going to a 3 day model; Carnival has made this announcement for Vaccinated as well as Unvaccinated.

I have not seen this change to 3 days. Maybe it will be announced next week.

Competitive with other what?

I would be more concerned about noise from the pool and activities on deck 15.

Carnival is sticking with the 3 day testing window for the vaccinated; but have now extended that to the unvaccinated. They have dropped the PCR requirement for unvaxxed children, and also dropped check in testing for that group; they can now do Antigen 3 days prior like everyone else.

yup

It isn’t gone for good, the venue isn’t revenue producing at any point really, with the exception of Bingo and Laser Tag. The staff manning the show aren’t revenue producing staff. This question was asked during the entertainment Q&A last week on Harmony. No timeline was given, but the CD Dan stated clearly that the Quest will be back.

Slow your roll, all this means is Cafe Promenade will be using Starbucks beans. If you want a Starbucks Machiatto or Frappuccino, you still need to go to the Starbucks kiosk, and those are not included in your drink package.

I have never had to show my test results more than twice. Once to get into the terminal, once at the check in agent

I have an annual policy through Trawick International. I have had this policy for 4 years now, and have had one claim. For me it is more economical than a per trip series of individual policies. As is the case with all financial vehicles, the devil is in the details, just be sure you know what you are (or are not getting), I think an annual policy would be good for you.
