Melody of the Seas

I found him on the Freedom yesterday, he said he is going to the Odyssey as soon as she sails!

We got the passport card instead of the book because it was good for sailing the Caribbean, I do not fly so no plans on sailing anywhere outside of the Caribbean, so passport card was sufficient for us, but it does make sense about the rona thing and being out off in a port and having to fly home. Glad we are vaccinated!

Does anyone have have an idea why Passport cards are not being accepted for a Caribbean cruise? we have always used our passport cards for these cruises .

I have Freedom of the seas July 12 21 Freedom of the seas August 16 21 Odyssey of the seas September 19 21 Brilliance of the seas October 30 21 Freedom Of the seas December 13 21 Allure of the seas December 30 21

I am thinking they might trace unvax via the contact tracing bands?

oohh I'm suppose to be on that sailing as well

I think this is put out because they are going to lift the no sail order and are trying to warn people not to go.. I will not be one of those people.. LETS CRUISE!!

I checked all 7 of mine and nothing ?

IMO it depends on which ship you're on, I think the key is more worth on the larger ships, do you utilize things like the flow rider rock wall? When we bought the key on the Navigator, the perks we took advantage of was the priority check in, but is that even going to be a thing during this pandemic? Lunch at chops on embarkation day, but if we can not get on the ship until late in the afternoon will the lunch be an option? The internet and breakfast on debarkation day. We didn't need to use it for the shows on the smaller ship but would be a good use for the larger ships for sure. We didn't use the flow rider, rock wall options. also if you were plan on getting the internet package, sometimes the key is only a little more then the internet packages so to me that would definitely make it worth. I would wait for the price to drop to 19.99, I purchased mine on the Symphony for 19.99.

I have two cruises booked on the Independence, one for May and one for August so both fall in the window of the change but I only received an email about the change for the August one..

I've purchased my items I wanted for my December 12th cruise on the Symphony. I have HIGH hopes!

Everything would be fine if they had testing upon arrival at the port with immediate results.

sad but true!

This is Definitely a choice we shouldn't have to make!
