Why not tag your bags? It's not much trouble, just to be sure.

You both get them.

What's the plan for Harmony's test cruise? Will it be required?

A test cruise would result in cancelation of it's first cruise (I'm booked on it) or two. Oh well, what's another canceled cruise or four.

Since Harmony is in Europe until it arrives in Florida the day of it's first cruise from the US, how does it get CDC approval for sailing from Florida?

I have the same situation as Daniel. I'm checked in and only time slot was 3-30.

When I enter name & booking number on that page it just spins.

According to the CDC, as of 2019, only 13.7% of all Americans smoke. And since it has declined every year since 2005, I assume less may smoke today. That seems a small percentage for Royal to cater to. Over 86% of us would prefer 'no smoking'. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/index.htm

On their quackers !

Since I do not want or need internet service on board, I'm glad it's cost is not built into my cruise fare. No cruse line gives it for free.

Actually, as on any run-of-the-mill website, once you sign in to your account, it should bring and populate all your information that is entered in your account profile.

Attached parking garage similar to the one at Port Canaveral. More expensive but very convenient and probably the safest available.

Thanks, I thought that was the answer

I included prepaid gratuities when I paid for a cruise for Nov 2020, that RCCL has cancelled. I am taking the 125% FCC instead of a refund. Are gratuities included in the 125% FCC or do you get a refund of the gratuity amount like drink packages, etc?

We're on Oasis April '21 too. And hoping all is working by then. And we're on her again Mar '22. Our favorite ship.

I certainly agree with you. We're scheduled Nov 1 and I'm sure that won't happen. But it's just over 3 weeks and it's ridiculous that they keep avoiding making it official. And people with Thanksgiving cruises probably need to change their plans. It's very unfair and shows a big lack of customer consideration when I think Royal's customers are some of the most loyal in the world.

No, but thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, almost a month ago, 9/13. But a lot of people got their Oct e-docs before their cruises were cancelled.

That's my issue with them now. We're scheduled for Nov 1. We would really like to know as there are logistical items for us to handle. Are they trying to make us cancel so they save the 25% FCC bonus if they cancel.

I surely hope it's sooner than that. We're scheduled for Nov 1. Only 28 days and they won't make a decision. I'm not happy about not being able to make final plans to be gone from home for 8 - 9 days. Maybe they are hoping we'll cancel before they do, to save the extra 25% FCC

UPDATE: We took a chance and they gave us the cruise we wanted and a perfect cabin location. Good job RCCL

I agree, very fast boarding at Port Canaveral. We were on Harmony twice last year. It's my favorite port and have also used Miami and Ft Lauderdale.

If you submit a Lift Shift request, do you have to accept their choice of ship and cabin?

I completely agree. We loved it 10 - 12 years ago. We ate in Chops last Nov on Harmony. It was overcrowded, tables very close together, our waitress had too many tables, service not that good, and the steak was very lacking in flavor. Less quality than Outback in my opinion. And at $50 plus 18%, extremely overpriced.

I have saved a few times in the past by repricing, but I just repriced a Nov 2021 cruise on Harmony, and the price is exactly double less $70 of my booked fare. It's an outside balcony and they don't show many cabins even available. I guess it's the result of some many people moving this years cruises to next year.
