I am also doing these three legs and had concerns when we booked it some time ago so asked my travel agent to confirm. They in turn contacted RCCL and the response from them was exactly as how you have described it. As long as we stay on for all three legs and Sydney is the end port, then we are fine.

In April this year, we did a 7-night Transatlantic crossing from Southampton to New York on the Queen Mary 2. We then spent one night in New York before boarding Anthem of the Seas for the Return Transatlantic sailing to Southampton. The RCCL requirement was a Covid test no more than 2 - days before boarding. We arranged for a Covid test to be done onboard the QM2 on the Saturday as we disembarked early on the Sunday morning. We ensured that we each got a certificate with our names and passport numbers etc. On the Monday, we boarded Anthem and showed the details etc and they were happy with that. We were told it would cost us $35 each for the test but when we checked later it turns out we were never charged. I'm sure something similar could be done on Scarlet Lady if still required.

First cruise was on Voyager of the Seas in Oct 2001 and if I remember correctly, Jeffrey Arpin was the cruise director. We were completely blown away by the whole experience and immediately booked the same ship for the same itinerary (eastern Caribbean) for the following year ! We have now completed a total of 33 cruises (31 on RCCL) and never looked back.

Thank you very much for this information. It is much appreciated.

Thank you for bringing to our attention the details of Quantum of the Seas for April and October in 2022. This is good news. However, I am booked on the Ovation of the Seas Transpacific from Sydney to Hawaii in April 2022, and we are still awaiting news of the next leg to Vancouver. Any idea when that might be released? or have I missed that ? I spoke to my TA on Saturday and they had no news either. Many thanks and Regards. Ron.
