We just took our teenagers (13 & 18) last week and we dined in Speciality restaurants. They enjoyed it and I felt like took no longer than eating in the main dining room. If your kids do not mind having a sit down meal each night, then they would not mind this. I actually think it may be a bit quicker, you are seated right away because you have a reservation.

So happy that you made it on-board! Have a great time! I know you didn’t do a whole pre-cruise part of this blog, but would you mind writing a little about your pre-cruise communication and planning with your Genie? Not much detail, just wondering about it. I think we have the same Genie in awhile and was wondering what to expect. Have a great time!

Our doctor’s office offers rapid testing, so can we go there and have the results from them? Typed and on their letterhead with all of the appropriate information (name, birthday, test type, test results, office name and location)? Or does it have to be somewhere like CVS/Walgreens or a lab only. Has anyone boarded with test results from a doctor’s office?

I saw on a video that there were outdoor tables at Chops. Has anyone sat there at dinner, is it chilly/windy? We have never been on an Oasis class ship so not sure how it is.

Would love to see some pics of the suite. We are in the Oasis A1 in the spring.

Wondering about the capacity of the boat? Do you remember how many were on the tour?

I realize that Labadee is an isolated portion of Haiti, but there is a vast difference between security to prevent petty crime/pick pocketing and security to prevent kidnapping/violence. I don’t feel comfortable being there in it’s current state. Not to mention there needs to be a reliable staff and with their country in chaos, that seems challenging as well.

Oh, ok. I misunderstood. I just checked the news and it said Pfizer's adolescent trial is already fully enrolled! That is quite a bit quicker than the adults.
LizzyBee, Since you were in the Pfizer study too and got the placebo-can I ask a question. We obviously don’t know which my son got-but we are hopeful he got the vaccine. His arm didn’t hurt at all on the first one, hurt in his upper arm on the 2nd for about a day. Did you have any pain with either? I know we won’t know for sure, but just curious. Thanks!

That's interesting, and I guess a mixed bag... If it's moving quicker I guess that probably means more infections in the cohort at a quicker pace than anticipated. Since that age group is less likely to show symptoms, are they doing asymptomatic tests? Like asking for more swabs performed at home?
(Hubs and I were both in the adult trial... Somehow both assigned to placebo, but we got our first shots last week! If not for the trial, it probably would have been months given how badly our state is botching the roll-out)
My understanding was quicker for enrollments than for the adults-I don’t think the procedures themselves are moving quicker.

Oh wow! Thank you for supporting your little one through that. The last I read was that Pfizer wouldn't be seeking an EUA for that cohort and would instead wait for the data to seek full approval (which based on when they hit half enrollment for that age cohort would be in July).
That is what they told me when he went for his 2nd shot last week. I haven’t read anything official-but I was hopeful. They said they were looking for authorization within the next few months. They said things were moving quicker than it had for adults. Now I’m not an expert-just what the study told us.

We received our full Cruise fare refund back to our credit card today. Here are our details, hopefully it will help those still waiting.
- Original sailing: April 5th, cancelled but RC
- Requested refund: March 14
- RC told me it was “processed” on March 16
-Excursion refunds received on March 20
-Full fare refund posted to our credit card on April 27th. Exactly 30 business days from the “processing” date.
Hope that helps.

I've patiently waited and my refunds have now been processed exactly as they offered. It took 30 days for the credit card companies to get it and 3 more days for the credit card companies to post it to my account. One was Visa and two were Amex.
Was it 30 days from your cruise, 30 days from the refund request, 30 days from when it was processed by RC? Also 30 business days or 30 total days. I’ve been told different things from RC as many others. Just trying to gage the correct timeframe.

These tests may work for flights. The likelihood that you would go from testing negative to being symptomatic on a even a 12 hour flight would be very low. A cruise is much different, testing negative before you board provides no assurance that you would not become sick over the next 7 days. Or even become an asymptotic carrier. A snapshot in time doesn’t work for the cruise industry.

I requested a refund for our April 5th sailing on March 13 after RC email notifying of the cancellation of the sailing. Spoke to RC today-my refund started processing on March 16. They said to expect the refund back to my credit card by the week of April 27th (30 business days from the date of processing).

I have a question-hopefully someone with much more knowledge than me would be able to answer. Does the FCC have to be applied per person only? For example-my husband and I book a cruise-cost is $4000 or $2000/person. If he has $3000 in credit and I only have $1000. Can he apply the entire $3000 to the total cruise fare or is he limited to only his per person fare and we would need to pay another $1000 out of pocket? Just trying to figure this out before I cancel. We have a suite-so the FCC will not distribute evenly and I’m finding it difficult to find an equivalent suite for a date we can sail.

Excited to hear about your cruise-I adore a Star Class Blog!

Thank you for blogging! I really enjoyed it!

If you find the soft pretzels, please let us know where. My 11 year old loves them! It will be his snack of choice when we are on in a few weeks. In the ATS 9th floor-super excited!

Here I've been debating on when/if to start a blog for our Oasis cruise, and @Lovetocruise2002 beat me to starting her blog for a sailing 3 weeks after mine... At least I won't have to put all of the precruise genie stuff.
I love Star Class Blogs! There can never be enough! Go for it!

We are on Deck 9 on Oasis just a couple of weeks after you-can’t wait to see the pictures and hopefully a video.

My husband and teenagers wore shorts and button down shirts each night, seemed to be just fine.
