WAAAYTOOO

Congratulations !!  I know how stressful all of that can be.

Fingers crossed, If my November cruise on Voyager doesn’t get cancelled. 

Yep, somehow I totally missed the disembarkation posts.  Thanks so much for blogging to help us enjoy it, too.  Hope you get to go back very soon.

Bye Quantum, till we meet again

Prior to disembarkation, they were calling out tag numbers to disembark at allocated times. You’d normally get your tag number the night before, but if you’re in star class, your genie will escort you off whenever you are ready. Last disembarkation time was 9.45am
 
Disembarkation was smooth. I was expecting that we were going to do an Antigen Rapid Test at the cruise centre but it seems it has been scrapped. We could leave as soon as we went through immigration. 
 
And that’s it. The end of my first cruise, first star class and first live blog all rolled into one. Hope you enjoyed following me along on this journey and maybe gave you a little bit of insight into some of the changes that may be happening when cruises restart until the end of this pandemic. 

Yep, posted it a few post ago. The one with the picture of Quantum as we drove away. 
 
Overall, the process was really smooth. At your allocated time, you head to the gangway and drop off your tracelet. Head through immigration and you’re done. No more post cruise swab test

Any complaints..Talk to the Captain 

So, there ya go !  @twangsterhas perfectly bot-splained it !  Who could have guessed ?

Thank you everyone. Really appreciate it. 
 
Post cruise withdrawal has started setting in. Walked by a Starbucks yesterday and realized I couldn’t just point at what I want and get it lol. 

"Pfizer and BioNTech are planning to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) during the first half of 2021 to secure full regulatory approval for BNT162b2," reads a statement emailed to Fox News. "Once filed, we expect the FDA to make a final decision in the second half of 2021."

We have had great success with Casino Royale, they have been very accommodating. We have successfully moved our comp cruises and also had a few cruises where we had applied the dollars off certificates. The cruises have been cancelled twice round and each time they have moved the dollars off certificate value to the next / new sailings. Third round of bookings I hope is lucky and we finally sail.
I know that Casino Royale will honour our status, but reading they may offer a comp cruise with consideration we could not sail would be unreal, so fingers crossed on that. Being from Australia we don't get any offers due to some local legislation on international gambling so for us it is just a matter of calling once a month and have a chat to them.
    

Wine does not help the comprehension of that chart. Don't ask me how I know.

Greedy.

With all the added options I couldn't pass it up not to mention the lower cost.  Under 12k final price.  

A1/A2 and A3/A4 are 2 completely different classes of suites. A1 and A2 (2 BR ATS) are Star Class suites.  A3 and A4 (1 BR ATS) are Sky Class suites.  The Genie only comes with Star Class.  Star Class comes with both Concierge and Genie while Sky Class has only the Concierge.

I’m not sure what you’re asking.  Wait a year and switch what to what ?  If you are asking if you should wait a year and switch from your Liberty Villa to an Allure ATS, I would say that #1, the price on the ATS is likely to go higher (perhaps significantly higher) in a year and #2, it most likely won’t be available in a year.
If the Allure A1 is truly the same price as a Liberty Villa, and if you have 5 or less people, and if you have the opportunity to move your reservation from Liberty to Allure, I would recommend that you run, don’t walk, to switch this reservation immediately. 

We’ll done ! You won’t regret it.  Well...maybe you will b/c it’s hard to go back once you’ve been a Star.

@twangsterI found the link, your directions are of course spot on.  I'm failing from the get go on the All Dining like your screenshot below does not even show My Dining.  Guess I just need to be more patient and keep checking.  Thanks to you I now know how to do it when it does.
Thank you!
 

Thanks for the responses.  We went with 2 connecting interiors...mostly so we don't have to worry about the sharing the sofa bed (and 2 bathrooms is a bonus too)

We are now in star class on Allure for Feb 2023

I like that 10 day Oasis itin for Jan 2023 but I promised myself that I would never book another Oasis class ship in January since I know that a certain lifestyle group always charters an O class in Jan.  I'm thinking that they would not charter a 10 night cruise but I'm takin' no chances.

Well only a bot would know how to do that !  I have cruised umpteen dozen times and I never knew you could book all of your MTD at once.  Of course, I don't claim to be all that bright, either.  Thanks @twangster

Ok guilty. Have gone ahead and made 2 bookings for same date.  At least it keeps our options open.  And...I'm excited I get to price watch again. ?
