Looks like you are still signed up for traditional dining.

Difference being that this missed port was 100% due to the fault of the cruise line, no choice but to own up to that.

Why doubt the captain? All was well. No one was injured, he got everyone home safely, and the ship to port for repairs without incidence. Impugning the captain’s statements and trustworthiness is really uncalled for.

My uneducated guess we would be that they consider PDCC as a sea day because it is an undeveloped island with no medical infrastructure. I believe the access to medical facilities is the crux behind the 3 sea day rule for infants. I agree 100% with @SpeedNoodles, get a travel agent involved. (and book refundable if possible)

Excellent I am thinking of doing one in my spare time, just to compare the report given to my prior E-Med reports and see if they contain all the pertinent information It will be good to have your real world experience

There was a post last week of a user that was going to do the proctored version of the free government issued covid tests for boarding. They said they would report back after boarding this past weekend, but I can not find the post. Anyone try? Anyone hear success or denials on this test?

Royal hanse made any announcements regarding changes to the AO masking; but i seriously doubt it will change very soon. BTW many schools nationwide still require masks in school.

Separated (not retired USAF), my guesstimate would be that only 10%-15% of my cruises, lifetime, have qualified for the discount. I have no idea the criteria used to determine eligibility, but I am happy to get it when I can.

When was your positive test? Timing is paramount to satisfy the COR requirements.

With Allure slated to handle 3-4 day itineraries after Galveston; I don’t think her Amp will happen any time soon. sidebar- I prefer the “un amped” Allure to the Harmony…

You will get an emaIl to show up at 11:00-11:30. There is a dedicated line for The Key holders.

I am aware that they were cancelling cruises through June 2021, I had over a dozen cancelled myself, but after the first few months, people stopped taking the FCC in great numbers and the amount of refunds rose dramatically; again all this information can be found in the SEC quarterlies. (4th qtr 2020-1st qtr 2021 or so would be my guess) All you have to do, as i said, is look at the SEC filings. It is all in black and white, including the liabilities that the unused FCC constitutes. I don't play the stock game, no need for that stress in my life.

I don’t think as many people took FCC as you believe did. The 125% FCC was short lived and there were even fewer taking that. A quick glance at the last 2 quarters SEC filings will show you that case flowing in is relatively let strong, and growing incrementally. FCCs do not show up that way on the balance sheet.

Royal is rapidly approaching 100% capacity WITH the current protocols in place. The on board experience is pretty close to pre covid, and is inching closer and closer every week. I see no catalyst here to push them to change anything quickly.

The capacity is reported from nearly every sailing, every week, on multiple travel related boards. Anyone that has sailed in the last 6 months can tell you firsthand how much fuller the ships are with every passing week. There have been multiple ships sail at full capacity

Many ships are sailing very near or at capacity with the current protocols, no need to be in a hurry to change them.

Royal isn’t profiting from the testing, at least not financially

So, ingesting unknown numbers and quantities of unknown chemicals is a valid alternative? Ridiculous argument

That sounds familiar, yes They only lasted a few months,

The entire medical community disagrees with your assessment

In 2019 there were semi regular sailings out of Galveston for Coco Cay for several months

With the exception of White Hennessy, there isn’t a deal out there that is worth it to me to deal with transporting bottles.

I don’t understand why Royal isn’t using the aluminum twist top, re-closable, water bottle that Celebrity is using.

Just call back, I have never been unsuccessful

Time does not matter. The requirement is in "calendar days" not a "48 hour time frame"
