+1 for Coke snob !

This makes ALL the difference for me. I don't drink coffee, Diet Coke is it. I have a serious problem. The cruises I have done with NCL have all been fine, I feel like the nickel and dime more than Royal does though. 
I won a room on the Prima when she comes into service, but I don't know when that will be yet. Already worried about the Diet Coke issue.

Have you looked at MSC World Europa?  It comes out later this year, will sail in Europe, and looks to be on par with an RCL Oasis Class Ship.  We’re doing our first cruise on MSC this summer ….. in the Yacht Club On MSC Seashore out of Miami, they best part is they status match …….. once we hit Diamond Plus with Royal next month and do the match, it should give us their top level.  See MSC World Europa at the links below

I found that I was ale to use my FSA/HSA debit card through Emed and I was not able to through Optum, so I ordered through Emed. That and the price made a big difference to me.

Yes

‘You should just print this out NOW …… and their personal one for everybody else going with you who hasn’t had a booster yet……… then show THIS copy to Royal at boarding …… And you wont have a problem …… they’ll see you had your second and last dose much longer than 14 days ago

Hiya, this is what it looks like. 

Great, you should be good as long as you can show that (I can see the entry that shows when you were vaxed). Looks to be in the same format as my Swiss Pass. I'd print out a hard copy to be safe just in case your phone stops working. Guarantee, if you have kids, they'll forget to charge them. Obviously, you still need the required pre-boarding negative COVID tests and I think we had the discussion of how you were going to do that and it looked good too. 

As Chris said…as of now, a booster is not required. I’m fully vaccinated since April (2nd Pfizer)…got my booster in Dec, three days prior to a cruise. My only worry was having a late reaction to it that may have presented with flu-like symptoms. But…nothing! Enjoy your cruise!

You’re not required to have a booster to cruise on Royal Caribbean.  As long as your original 2nd Pfizer, 2nd Moderna, or 1 J&J was at least 14 days before your cruise, you’re good.

For connected reservations, it’s much easier to make reservations and book excursions thru the website cruise planner ….. the app makes it much harder.
 

This was our experience with the TA we used in the last while before Covid ….. if you wanted to do something simple like add a passenger or change from a Grand Suite to a Crown Loft (that he’d make more commission on) he’d charge a $150 fee to make the change.  I also had booked all the cruises myself and given them to him.  By the time I realized the fee, I’d already given him almost 3 years worth of cruises. If nothing else, Covid helped me break away from him by cancelling the last bunch of cruises I had given him.

We recently sailed over Christmas on Oasis and had Coco Cay on day 2. Formal nights were moved to day 3 & 6.  

Kinda like a mystery movie. "By the end of this sailing, at least one of you will be dead." Cue Vincent Price.

Whatever the reason, there's a death every year on these charters. It's incredible Royal continues to allow this group to sail with them given that track record.

Ok here’s the latest I’ve found from WOTS Facebook group. It does sound very hopeful at the moment lol…..
My daughter quarantining on that beautiful ship as we speak 👍🏼😍
she’s a cast member that’s flown in from Australia to perform in the Aqua Theatre Show InTENse. Has been onboard for the last 8 days quarantining and doing zoom rehearsals until quarantine finished 😉Getting ready for when the big beauty sails! 👍🏼

They didn't deliver it on one of my recent cruises.  The girl at Guest Services had no clue what I was talking about.  I wasn't leaving until I got one.  She finally pulled out a book and pulled out the sheet of paper for me.  
I usually take pics of the specials from whatever I am offered so I can refer to them as needed.

I wonder if anybody ever takes advantage anymore of that Stateroom phone rate.

It is so tiny lol ….. even on my iPad it stays phone size …… I’m not sure why….. , MSC’s app actually gets big enough to fill up your whole screen when you use it on an iPad …… you’d think Royal would make theirs do that as well.
