Cruise Planner Sale April 14-20, 2021
smokeybandit replied to NancyB257's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'm still bummed I didn't pull the trigger on the coco cay beach club when it was $71 per person right after Adventure went on sale. -
The PHE will likely be extended well into 2022

There actually is an update to the CSO
smokeybandit replied to smokeybandit's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
But there's no longer a mention of 12 hours. Just "try not to do it as best you can" which is much more reasonable. -

If anyone missed it, the CDC already tweaked the new technical guidance to drop the prehistoric requirement that embarking and disembarking passengers don't share the same gangway within 12 hours. -
Will Canaveral still be the only LNG refueling-capable cruise port by the time Icon comes online?

UK releases framework for cruises
smokeybandit replied to Jill's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
The UK document is only 20 pages and contains a lot more actionable info than the CDC's 40-page CSO -

Get a notarized letter from the child's parents saying you're allowed to be traveling with them. You likely won't need it since we're in an era with so many kids having different last names than parents/grandparents, but for peace of mind, it can't hurt to have. -
Things are really getting serious now....

I only got generic canned responses. Which I wasn't really expecting anything tailored towards the CSO -
The CDC is doing the exact same thing right now. Using Diamond Princess as its main motivation to keep cruising locked down.

We're in an era that the first thing said (whether right, wrong, truthful or not) is what people remember. Fain is rightly using that July 4th Biden comment to his advantage. As is NCL.

Some Bad News I'm Afraid...

Did you get a new projected date or is it all TBD? -
Fully Vaccinated Cruise = No Kids
smokeybandit replied to tonyfsu21's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Michigan is doing mandatory weekly school testing for high school athletes. Other states have ramped up random school testing as they go back in the classroom. So no surprise they're finding more youth cases. And since the UK variant is becoming the dominant variant (I haven't seen any on the ground evidence that it's any more transmissible. See Texas as an example, as they have among the highest rates of the UK variant), then this amps up the headlines. -

My son's elementary school has been full in person since last August, and kids 10 and under don't have to wear masks with no effort to socially distance other than keeping each class in its own cohort (though kids of the same grade can recently all mingle at outdoor recess) We've had zero in school transmission. -

Hospitalizations are also tough because only a few states separate out those hospitalized with covid (ie, tested positive during their gall bladder surgery prep) from those who went to the hospital because of their covid. -
