So am I and a LOT of others. It is the President's Cruise, so I have to imagine they are working through these issues over the next month and we may be fortunate enough to enjoy a better experience..... Obviously that does not help others. But with the Alaska season just starting up, hopefully it is just the temp growing pains from starting up.

Now reports coming out that Icon may be larger than Oasis. They even quote @MAT the blog in the article. Interesting... https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/cruise/royal-caribbeans-icon-of-the-seas-to-be-bigger-than-oasis-class

Has there been any announcements or rumors, as to special guest or performances for the President's Cruise 2022? Its is getting close, only a few day away from online check in.

I thought you might be the first to respond @twangster. Extremely helpful as always. Thank you. I am off to cancel my package and figure out where to blow my extra $500.

Resurrecting an old thread but here it goes. I am boarding the Harmony on Sunday and am in a Grand Suite. This is a sky class suite on this ship and is supposed to come with Voom. Says voom for every person booked in the room. I currently have purchased on the planner a 4 pack of Voom Surf and Stream for the four of us booked in the room. Question: Is the internet included with the suite Voom Surf and Stream or just Voom? If it is Voom Surf and Stream, I should be safe to cancel my planner package and save $489? thanks in advance

Thanks @AshleyDillo exactly what I was looking for. I saw some variations on 1887 vs Iskate (looks like only 1 showing of Iskate) and whether or not the aqua theater shows were running. This helps me plan. Thanks again

Getting on Harmony the day you get off. I hope you all have fun. I am trying to set up dining, but I have seen some conflicting info on show times for aqua theater and the skating performances. You don't by chance have a pic of the single page event/show calendar you would be willing to share, do you? Thanks I hope you have a blast!

I have heard many folks wearing their badges, as they say "I have to wear it, it is the most expensive piece of jewelry I own."

WoW. I have been following this closely and I chuckled the same interpretation to myself anecdotally. But, now that someone else is interpreting the fine print in favor of my jest, I wonder if it has any teeth??? I expect @Matt will have a different understanding reading his latest blog on the matter. However I would like to hear others chime in.

They are both 7 day cruises so I hope you are correct, anything to cut down on the dreaded post test anxiety, by reducing number of tests is very welcome.

Thanks to all for the great answers to the OP question. So I also have an Izumi question. When dining with children looking at some of the cruise compasses it appears that I could use my ultimate dining plan with my unvaccinated child at Izumi just not the hibachi grill? Am I seeing that correctly?

So @Matt just posted about changes coming to the back to back testing experience. It seems that RC will be moving to handing out eMed kits in lieu of the onboard Medical Facility testing. I am curious how that may affect kids on B2Bs, as children are not allowed to use the eMed home testing kits for their pre-cruise test? Curious as I will be on a B2B with my kids in a few days. Has anyone done 7 day B2B cruises with children under the vax age, recently with the current protocols? I get that the odds of this change to eMed kits probably will not be in place by my cruise dates, but it did lead me down the path of a few questions..... *also thanks to @Matt, @svcruiser, and others who have posted great info on cruising with kids lately!

Thanks

Curious about this, how far in advance did you receive the email to register your child's appointment? Is it a shareable link that could work for any cruise? I am 12 days out from our cruise and have not received such email. Also did you figure the PCR vs Rapid test out.... it must be a mistake or old language?

As @Matt and many others have stated, it is always worth checking to see if an earlier time has become available. After reading the "things worth re-checking" article today, I decided to recheck my check in times. I was able to move my next two cruises up to 11:30am. whoo hoo!!
