Thanks everyone, made the switch, now we just gotta get back to cruising! Sharla@MEI made it super easy!!

I'm sure your agent can help you ?

Your premise is flawed... You're not being "forced" to do anything. You would not meet the requirements to enjoy the company's products and that means you stay home. It's really that simple.

These are the questions that RCCL needs to address in order to bring nervous minds to rest before cruises start up.

Just curious, are you OK with everyone else on board, including crew,  getting tested to make sure that you are safe?

Maybe I should reach out to her ?

I am looking for or at an ocean view balcony, for 2 adults, 2 kids. I am going to reach out to my agent and make the switch! Let’s get back to cruising !

I think the greater concern would be that the cup that might have come into contact with someone's mouth comes into contact with the dispensing nozzle. I'll admit, looking at the Freestyle system this is less likely than a traditional lever type soda fountain, but not out of the realm of possibility.

Given that everyone at Royal is working from home and they have kids biting at their ankles like everyone else, a check in snag at 86 days away shouldn't be something to lose sleep over.  Luggage tags don't even come out until ~40 days so wait a month and try again.

I love that site. Totally worth the low membership price when you want more functionality. 

It sounds like they are not going to rush back in because they want to avoid creating a mess off the bat.
So I think they intent to get it mostly right the first time.
There are going to have to be some tweaks and adjustments, but I think their intention is to be on the right track, rather than start cruising with one plan and have to completely re-think everything.

They'll have to make adjustments as they go. They will have a plan A, B, C, D (and so on) in place. I do believe they will have thought of most scenarios before they sail again but there's no way it's a one size fits all kind of thing. 

If testing is part of the new reality (and how can it not be ?), passengers will pay for it, one way or another.  Even if there is not a direct charge, the cost will be passed on.  In fairness, this is true for many other public industries...not just cruises.

I'm in your camp.  Many new procedure require testing and tuning.  From embarkation, through excursions, to disembarkation.   Need to start small and build up until there's confidence at all levels.

They are trying to boost their sales, it's not a scam if it's from them.
