VERY ??

Now that I think about it. ?
Wearing A Mask on Allure this December would be the coolest way to cruise. ?
(unless I'm misunderstand what the CDC is recommending ) ?

Unless your A Disney cruise ship. ?
How come Goofy can talk and Pluto can't?
How did Scrooge McDuck make all his money?
 

I thought the same; however as this does not apply to the ship itself whilst docked it got me wondering.
Many thanks... not what they will want to hear of course, but certainly makes sense.

I'm not sure the world is ready for me in a cat woman suit, but if that's the price.....  Formal night could be interesting.

They absolutely can survive without allowing kids.

Let's all chip in and buy everyone at the CDC some of these shirts...

Or the ICVP, (yellow card) I got when I got a yellow fever vaccine a long time ago that's extremely similar to the cards being given out for the current vaccinations.  While there is (a lot) of discussion (and some action) around a digital vaccination passport, the problem itself isn't a new one.  Royal or any cruise line doesn't need to reinvent the wheel.  If that's the direction they go you can just toss your vaccination card in with your passport, if there's progress on a more universal digital "card" they can tie into that system.
To be honest I think it's a moot point for the moment.  No one has _any_ idea what Royal, or more importantly the ports they visit, will give for requirements.  Till then it's just getting worked up over a potential possibility. 

Mask's Are Cool.
P.S.  if you google "Vaxing"...you get pretty interesting pictures. ?

Correct..  You can't fly into the USA without a negative test, yet you can walk across the boarder into the USA by the thousands with no social distancing, mask and no covid test.  So much inconsistency.  ?

Sooo Correct..
We couldn't graduate high school,  unless you're vaccination records were upto date.
Now it's offensive ? 

July 2021 is probably the earliest cruise line can realistically resume cruising.  As long as the CDC is sitting on the sidelines not giving the cruise lines any information or directions as to how to at the very least conduct the required test cruises normal cruising can not resume.  Four or five days ago there were reports in the Miami Herald that have subsequently been walked back but the original report stated the Biden Administration was considering restricting travel to Florida.  As stated the administration has since walked back those comments an official gave to the Miami Herald but together the fact the Biden Administration considered but then walked away from requiring all passengers test negative before a domestic flight gives us insight into where this Administration and head of the CDC is at right now.   
 
With all the travel related news coming out of Washington D.C. over the past few weeks and the CDC's directors stance and willingness to entertain the idea of restricting travel to Florida and domestic travel over all, with all of this information even a July resumption date might be overly optimistic.    

Ha! I blame the wine!

Yes but lately - who in gov't is actually following any law?  We're in a make it up as we go along mindset.  Moving goal posts - more masks are better now...   Can't fly to Mexico without a test, BUT you can drive or take a bus and its not required....   So much inconsistency.
 

This video may (or may not) help.  It's from a Jr Suite on Deck 9 of Adventure.  About halfway through the person steps out onto the balcony for a view from his perspective.
 
 

Usually I try to update at least once per week.  You can always tell from the last "heart" reaction that I have given what point I got up to.  @MuttMutthad a great suggestion a few posts ago to note on the Master List when the last update was so I have implemented that suggestion.  If you go to the master list, you can see near the top (in purple) when the latest update was.

Staying on balcony located on the  bumpout gives you a larger balcony.   It's the only balcony we get, for that reason.  
This December,  we're on Allure of the seas, we have A  Jr. Suite on the bumpout. 

Donna and I are book on Allure of the Seas - Dec 5th 2021 out of Port Everglades.  (10 months away) 
We snagged a great price on a Jr. Suite on the bumpout - larger balcony ($2200.00 W/ Insurance & 2 bottles of wine). Plus I got the RCCL Credit card, giving me $150.00 SBC and took $200.00 of the deposit.  ?  
I also got a couples massage ($189.00 includes the 18% tip). ?
Our Daughter and Son in-law did the exact same thing with us. ? -  Wicked Smart. 
 

With all of the cancellations taking place and no one sailing I have not really been following along very closely to the latest RCL news.  My wife and I were talking about how we do not have a cruise booked for late 2022 so I looked today and found a a cruise that we agreed on. I booked a balcony room for 6 nights on Explorer of the Seas out of Miami for October. I came to the part in which it told me the deposit amount and I was shocked to see that it was $500.
When did the deposits go up from $200 to $500?
