Air Canada / Switch Health test for boarding RCL?
Jillyalex replied to Marc Van Niekerk's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I was on the phone getting clarification it took me four staff members a manager and a supervisor and they told me at the end that the switch telehealth are not accepted for boarding onto Royal Caribbean ships. It comes down to that they’re not approved for US standards but we can use him to come home to Canada on board. It’s crazy I get a different answer each person I speak with . -
No, they have taken that away. You need to be tested at the pier after you get off the ship.

I'm going on a cruise March 18th out of San Pedro CA and can't seem to get a straight answer regarding the Switch self administered test. Being that the rules are going to be changed Feb 28th I was going to get the Antigen home test kit. Has anyone used the Switch home kit via teleheath.. flying from Vancouver to LA .. then on cruise.. has anyone successfully done this? Has anyone flown home from USA successfully crossing the border using the Telehealth Switch home kit? Appreciate anyone that has successfully used these kits to please help me out. I know there was a guy that almost got charged the $5000 fine but was that a "one" off? Thank you, Jill

So, am I understanding, are the switch antigen tests kits not acceptable to get into the US and Royal? Also the RCT lamp won't be accepted to get back into Canada? This seems odd considering they're sold for travelling?? Thanks Jill

Approved RCCL Covid-19 testing for Canadians
Jillyalex replied to tlk's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Can anyone tell me what they're doing to get home to Canada for testing now Royal doesn't do the pcr on board anymore? I want to test on board as they will take care of us if we're positive. If we wait until we get off the ship, we won't have the guarantee. Thanks for any help! -
We've got Navigator of the seas booked for March 18th and trying to figure out what to do now we can't do the PCR test with Royal like we did last month
-
What's fellow Canadians doing for the covid test to return to Canada after the cruise? Anyone tried the Air Canada Aeroplan once you do with a video connection on board?
-
Have any Canadians cruised since Royal changed the rules and won't do the onboard PCR testa the end of the cruise? Just wondering how that works? Are we able to get the PCR test at the terminal and then take the Royal shuttle to the airport? What's the cost? Thanks

12/31 navigator of seas formal nights/mtd
Jillyalex replied to Sjbravo's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
How's the Xmas cruise going? Still going to all ports? Any issues covid related to cancellations? Appreciate any feedback, supposed to be on New Years Navigator of the seas. Thank you very much, Jill -
Good evening, Could anyone that has been on a cruise recently explain to me how the process works to get a PCR test on board? When does it happen? Do we book it or does RCC know we require it from our booking? I'm flying back to Canada and need to make sure it's the correct COVID test Also to confirm, there's no charge? Can't wait to get back on board TIA

Navigator - Pre/post cruise activity ideas
Jillyalex replied to BeachGal's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Hello, going on the Navigator on Dec 31st could you kindly recommend a hotel to stay which is close to the cruise terminal? Guess we would need to get a shuttle to get to the hotel Thanks in advance , Jill -
Anybody try new Room Service menu yet?
Jillyalex replied to FManke's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Is there a charge if you order the room service in the Grand Suite as well? Thanks, Jill -
Thanks for everyone's feedback.. I called the Royal Casino line and they said to enrol you have to spend min of 3-4 hours in the casino everyday with a minimum bet of $5 a spin for slot machines and same time at Blackjack tables with min of $50 bet each hand.. guess I won't be getting free drinks like I always do with Carnival :)
-
Ok thanks for the information Marc.. do I sign up for the mlife before the cruise or while I'm on it? Thanks, Jill
-
I'm sailing on the Oasis for the first time. Does anyone know if RC has any type of complimentary drinks after so many points? When I've been on Carnival once you get 1500 points you get free drinks while you're in the Casino. Thanks, Jill

Good afternoon fellow cruisers :) , My hubby and I are going on the Oasis of the Seas for B2B cruises Western Caribbean then Eastern Caribbean. I like to have an idea what to do in the different ports so I thought I would reach out to many of you who have been on these cruses :) Favorite thing to do is go to a nice beach and relax and have cold Corona's :) Maybe get a massage, lie in a hammock and maybe get a bite to eat. Any recommendations ? West 1) Labadee Haiti? 2) Falmouth, Jamaica 3) Cozumel East 1) Nassau, Bahamas 2) St Thomas 3) St Maarten Thank you in advance, Jill Happy Cruising

Super FRUSTRATED with Choice Air.. anyone else??
Jillyalex replied to Jillyalex's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Hello everyone.. Thanks for your feedback.. I have booked on my own ( which I usually do ).. not impressed at all with the customer service at Choice Air.. not only price MUCH cheaper on my own booking but couldn't handle the type of service I got.. Both agents I spoke to didn't seem to know how to book the flight I had pre determined.. They put me on hold as they said they were going to "manually" rate the airfare!! Manual? in 2015! Anyways, they couldn't seem to let me know what the advantages would be to book through them so I gave up! -
Confused :) Oasis of the Seas dining..
Jillyalex replied to Jillyalex's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Hey WAAAYTOOO :) Thanks for your message.. I love the big ships too!! the bigger the better! I know people talk about crowds but I don't necessarily find them busier cause there's more space for everyone to spread out! Planning! absolutely love the pre cruise planning.. from the Cruise itself to airfare, hotels, excursions etc!! I love finding deals! Almost become obsessed with it hahahaha... Don't worry, I won't let the few glitches ahead of time taint me with RC.. I think it will all work out :) Casino! I agree with the smoke factor.. I'm an ex smoker too,, it doesn't bother me at all :) you can always find non smoking areas if people are that bothered :) I'm really looking forward to the Casino on the Oasis! I'm picturing it to be large!! I hope lots of slots to chose from :) Have you ever been to St Martens? apparently there is a beach there by an airport and a casino too ? I will do more research but looks like you have cruised a lot and might know what I'm talking about.. ( the planes land super low over the beach?? ) Cheers, Jill- 16 replies
