We enjoyed SUMMIT. Not that fond of Milli post Revolution. Now the St. Maarten with SUMMIT offering is a bit more attractive. Just a personal preference.

I have many friends and family who have no idea that cruises have been shut down since 3/20. They keep asking me why I'm not sailing - DOH!

A number of lines have itineraries with Busan. Found some on Cunard, Azamara, Silversea, Seaborn, HAL, Oceania, Celebrity. Seems that's the only Korean port listed as a stop.

Are you thinking of Busan, SK? There is an Asian itinerary on Solstice from Japan that includes that port. Fall of '21. The Celebrity travel site lists all ports they visit.

I believe the lines will continue with these ever-changing uncertain itineraries until the 1 Nov CSO expiration date (if the gov't deems it allowable).

Personal opinion - we match to the itinerary. If the ports are repeat visits, or less interesting - we like the ships with the most toys. If we're in Europe, we spend most of our time touring, so the ship toys don't really matter.

Yes. But the menus might not be correct. Your calendar should also start showing thing you've booked pre-cruise like excursions and dinners. (When you get on-board (in the past) it lost the data until resynching with the ship server)..

It would be great to see a combination crew/guest welcome back event.

SMILES EVERYONE, SMILES!

Feels like the CSO will be sustained. Hope for a 1 Nov expiration.

Getting a room card and a WOW band will gives you a spare access key. (Unless they've changed things)

Can you request OBC for the extra test you had to pay for? ?

Although weened from the RCG, my Azamara APP woke up the other day. Instead of just waiting for more fun. A ship and itinerary popped up. As expected, the APP looks just like the original Royal parent's.

Used them on Symphony after they just rolled out. I thought they were convenient as a room key and when in pool area (as opposed to keeping track of the card). Way back, there were issues with the bar drink readers, but guessing they may have gotten the bugs out of them by now. I think they're used for contact tracking in the current age. When we sailed, we had both the WOW band and a room key card.

Based upon time of year - yes on Sanchos (that's the only one I have experience). If during a spring or holiday break period.

The CK door is normally closed and you need to swipe to enter (Star, and Sky class). In past cruises, JS (Sea Class) swipe wouldn't work even though evening dining was allowed. So probably best you all enter together.

Fingers crossed for these "kick off" cruises. Hoping we see momentum build.

Countdown as of 6/3: 639 days

If laundry services do not work out, just turn things inside out.

I'll take it....

I'll even give a thumbs up while passing the art auction.

She need to ditch more jewels too.

This law suit could continue to delay until 1 Nov (that way neither side loses). The feds allow the limitation to expire and its all moot at that point.

My face will hurt from smiling

How are everyone's flight arrangements working? Price & availability?
