The last couple years the sales started Monday of Thanksgiving week, and lasted through Cyber Monday

I would imagine that is a world wide number, but I have no evidence to back that up.

They will sell cabins to more adult, more profitable customers that haven't cruised due to the mask requirement, than they will lose less profitable 5-12 year olds and their parents, when the mandate is put in place, and the mask requirements dropped. Ships will sail as full as allowed regardless

Royal replied to a Twitter inquiry confirming the website and the contest are legitimate

And even then the prices are high, no deals I can find

Anything is possible, but I doubt it.

I don't know, today Disney Cruise announced a new vaccine policy beginning Jan 13, vaccine required for all passengers 5 years and older; I doubt they will be the last.

I can't imagine RCL not following suit, there is really no downside at this point. For every booking you lose, you will gain 2 new ones

Unfortunately, the room you bid for may not even be available currently. Royal may just be preparing for potential cancellations, or perhaps the folks in the room you have bid on are also waiting on an upgrade bid. There are plenty of stories out there of folks not finding out they have won their bid until they are at check in.

I can foresee a lot of reductions onboard "to enhance our cruise experience"

Keep a pair of these in my toiletry bag, they go on every trip, no problem

Everyone has to start somewhere

There is no reason to include vaccinated in the study, the virus being addressed is genetically an exact clone regardless of vaccination status. Unvaccinated were the only study participants used to avoid the question "was it the pill or was it the vaccine". Pfizer plans to apply for EUA this month so they must feel the study was large enough (Merck has a similar drug already approved in several countries), and are planning for distribution before Christmas.

Totally expected move from a financial standpoint.

has been extended; leave it to a US Government website to not be updated in a timely manner

You didn’t read far enough in the document you posted.

Different Bahamian rules for cruise passengers, must be vaccinated if age eligible.

This email notification does not apply to US citizens

CDC just voted unanimously (14-0) to recommend the Pfizer vaccine for ages 5-11.

Gotcha, thanks. I don’t have that card, so that explains it all.

Where is this screen located? Can you now purchase OBC in the cruise planner?

The first rule of "sandwich club" is.......................

That isn't "working for free", that is "commission sales" and hundreds of thousands of Americans operate the exact same way.

It will be done by Wednesday, November 3 at the latest; my clinic is already taking appointments for late next week.
