That's going to be very interesting as well. If we have 100% vaccinations onboard the ships than why not sail at full capacity? Which metric would they be looking at to gradually raise the capacity? I hope that they actually follow the science on this one as a whole because as of right now the vaccine is looking like its a miracle for how much protection that it actually gives you from becoming infected/spreading the virus.

For the first cruise back, of course! But what if you had let’s say 4 cruises in between Thanksgiving and February 2022. Would you be willing to hit ALL of your booked sailings with the double mandate?

Just being curious, if and when the no sail order is lifted, how would a vaccine and a mask mandate onboard affect your decision to cruise again? I'm very interested in seeing how things play out in Israel, I think their protocols will almost mirror the protocols for the U.S.

I called the Casino and they have most of the deployment schedules out. Royal Caribbean seems to be starting most their 2022 Christmas and New Years Cruises on Friday's.

When you discover a blog but find out you have to read it.

How far in advance can you normally book Air2Sea?

So with these cruises setting sail at 10 pm is there any chance the cruise line allows us to stay onboard on debarkation day a little longer? As of right now the first flights back to the US aren't until 3:05 and 4:55 pm.

Is the Infinity pool at Coco Beach Club heated?

I'm not sure if anyone has looked at hotels yet but the Hilton Grand Vacations at the Crane is a BEAUTIFUL property and is a steal for around $270 a night IMO

I just can't wait for its first dry dock for Royal Caribbean to turn the fitness center into a bunch of cabins. ?

Try it with one that has fire on board credits and see how your next 2.5 hours on the phone go. It’s happened to me twice on the same sailing. The cruise part is easy, on board credits are hell and they need a better system.

Has anyone else had problems with the Cruise Lines/ Travel Agency's canceling future cruises because of a mishap in the FCC system? It has now happened to me twice on my Dec 26 Sailing onboard Odyssey of the Seas.

Sentimentally, I’m very excited for Voyager to be porting out of San Juan in winter 22-23.

For me, having the water bottles in the cabin is more of a convenience thing. The lukewarm tap water in the room is gross. I'm a drinker and battle hangovers regularly onboard so having a few cold bottles in the fridge is a necessity. I hate the idea of going from bar to bar asking for bottles of water to carry back to the cabin two at a time to try to stock up and that bottled water isn't the best either.

Do you know if that 12 bottles is per person or per stateroom?

Well, I guess #1 would be to save lives that do contract the virus before they’re able to be vaccinated and #2 there is no reason why they both can’t distributed simultaneously.

I just noticed that they have taken the Evian water bottle package off of the cruise planner and replaced it with dasani water cans ?

Could be a game changer! “A drug containing monoclonal antibodies protected residents and staff members at nursing homes from being infected with the coronavirus, according to preliminary results from a study by the drug maker Eli Lilly and the National Institutes of Health.” https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/21/health/coronavirus-eli-lilly.html

I just double checked and I had it backwards. But the DBP+V is $14 less on the Holiday sailing than it is on the Jan 2. ?

I'm anxious to see where the price for DBP+V will fall to once the sailing gets attached to a sale. Another odd thing in the cruise planner, I have back to back on Odyssey on Dec 26 & Jan 2. Dining package is available for Dec 26 sailing but not on Jan 2. Any guess as to why?

The Margaritaville on Hollywood Beach is a vantastic place to stay pre-cruise. World Famous Le-Tub is right across the street too.

Just booked a JS on Deck 8 aft, maybe we'll be neighbors!!

What's Bofa?
