Trev and Chels teamed up with Royal to donate $100,000 to Mr. Beast and Mark Rober's #TeamSeas!!! How awesome!!

I grabbed one of the 7 nights on Liberty. 1,000,000 points seems kind of high for this round of cruises.

Thx for posting. Shocked that some are still available. If not on Symphony the first week of November I would be all over this. 

We’re in Oasis the 2nd week of Nov or I’d have snagged one too. 

There are a few cruises up on My Vegas right now. All are in the month of November

I see RC has posted a slew of 3 nighters on Navigator out of LA but they are all already sold out. Was anyone able to snag one this morning? I did not.

I can confirm this. My travel agent can see these 4-5 night sailings in the system but they aren’t available for booking as of last night. 

Can you tell how long Indy will be doing these shorter sailings before moving back to Florida? Would like to try to get on one.

My mid-October Explorer out of Galveston was canceled today.  C&A rep advised (after Liberty returns from dry dock) that Indy would then replace Explorer from Galveston.   Explorer had been scheduled to sail short cruises up to October 25. 

So Indy will take over the 4 and 5 night sailings from Galveston? We are scheduled on Adventure out of Galveston for 5 nights in November. We have not been canceled yet. 

Are the new itineraries posted anywhere? Not seeing them on the RCL website.

Adventure of the Seas is on her way to Port Canaveral right now. Could these topics at all be related? 
 

I assume she’s fully staffed up with Nassau cruises set to begin in just over 3 weeks 

Our Thill Waterpark went down by $30 per person as well. 

Does Uber or Lyft operate in Nassau?

@CruizIan I recently redeemed for the $100 on board credit, but it was for a cruise I had just booked a couple weeks before. I believe one of the stipulations is that it has to be for a recently booked cruise. 
 

They sent me an email confirmation that had instructions to then forward the email to Club Royal and to provide my information and reservation number. The $100 OBC was a applied to my reservation within 48 hours. 

For anyone interested in documentaries, Wendover Productions created a documentary covering the effect of the cruise industry shutdown on Ketchikan, Alaska.

CDC Director Dr. Walensky suggests vaccinated people do not carry the virus.

With fully vaccinated cruises perhaps we could see lighter restrictions?

Thanks, it did come back last night.

What did you do to get the cruise planner to work again? Mine has been saying the same message for a couple days.

I wasn't aware Royal stated that.

Celebrity has stated that ship excursions are not required for Millennium.  They are allowing self exploration but have stated that guests must follow rules as established by the country being visited.  If a country such as Aruba requires masks then you must wear a mask off the ship.  If the next country requires something else, then that is required for guests while off the ship.

I saw this blog post from Matt.

Supposedly Vicki Freed from RCL confirmed this. 

I am currently booked on the July 3rd cruise on Adventure out of Nassau. 

I know Royal has already confirmed that only Royal Caribbean provided shore excursions will be allowed for these sailings. Looking at the cruise planner, the selection is very limited. 

Does anybody know if Royal will continue to vet shore excursion providers to add to the list over the next few months or if this list is final? 

Thanks!

Landry

Booked for July 3rd!!

What are the odds they’ll shoot fireworks on the 4th while at CocoCay? 
 

Does this imply an overnight at Coco Cay for Adventure too? 
 

“And keep the vacation vibes going strong long after dark.” 

Pretty awesome video about Odyssey and her conveyance. 

Have they said anything about shore excursions? 

Michael Bayley tease...

Is Liberty leaving Galveston paving the way for Allure to take over the 7 night sailings?

A bunch of 2 to 5 night sailings were posted for November and December but are already sold out. Do they usually “restock” these free cruises? 

If you opt into the 125% OBC offer can it be spread across multiple future cruises or must it all be redeemed on a single sailing?
