In the year 2525, if cruising is still alive

I'm sensitive to cigarette smoke but never felt the casinos were that bad. I mean the smoke smell was stuck to everything, but never really noticed it in the air itself.

More good news on the vaccine front
smokeybandit replied to JLMoran's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
I'd like to see more data on that (I'm sure it's out there but there's nothing on the Pfizer site about it). I see that those in the vaccine group had zero covid case (great of course) but the positivity rate among the placebo group was still only 1.5%. I'm also curious about the severity of those that got covid in the placebo group. Were they symptomatic at all? -
Anthem Itineries CANCELLED

It was a week. But since we knew the first cruise date and all were 7 night cruises, it was easy to project out -
The Last Cruise Airs Tonite!!
smokeybandit replied to princevaliantus's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Unfortunately this will just be interviews, footage and reenactments of how miserable people were on the cruise back when panic over the unknown was at an all time high. And unfortunately it will portray the cruise industry poorly -
I heard some staffers don't turn on the sinks. They just do toilets. They're a Straight Flush

Also generally ignored throughout is the Hope-SImpson scale, a measure of seasonal viral activity based on latitude. Which predicted a slight increase in northern states through the beginning of April, then a sharp decline after that. -
Yes and yes to the above. You can add the number now, when you check in for the flight, or at the ticket counter at the airport. And do definitely enter it in your airline profile, it'll automatically add it to future reservations.

Go to that airline's website, enter the confirmation number, and from there it should let you add what they call "known traveler number"

Need advice on what to do or really not do?

Call It: First Cruise Sails.......????
smokeybandit replied to CJS2766's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'd be shocked if the health order isn't renewed. That wouldn't necessarily prevent cruising, but I don't think that is that big of a factor in things. -
Chef's Table Updates (or not)?
smokeybandit replied to cruisellama's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Random hijack of the thread. Are they able to cater to dietary restrictions (ie, gluten) at chef's table? Or is it pretty much an as-is thing? -
More good news on the vaccine front
smokeybandit replied to JLMoran's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
The interesting thing is that if you look at the people who have gotten it, they're all people who are tested regularly due to their jobs or at-risk status. People who otherwise wouldn't have known they had it if they weren't getting tested every week. So that's a *good* thing for the vaccine. -

There will be a small percentage of people who get covid with the vaccine. Just like there's a larger percentage of people who get the flu despite the vaccine. Really not a big deal scientifically, but surely will be made a big deal in the media. -

Not good news for Canadians. https://twitter.com/LaurenPelley/status/1376618654784176129?s=20 -
I flipped a cruise to the Bahamas just last week and got the confirmation email while still on the phone with the rep.

Rumor has it they're going to add a tier between D+ and Pinnacle. It'll be called "So close yet so far away" -
Vision from Bermuda is Open for Booking

Check Bermuda's website. They have pretty strict rules for tourists, even if you're vaccinated. -

Meanwhile, the Adventure prices have dropped since the Vision fares went live. This was $829 earlier this morning -
Double Points - Crown and Anchor - Away?
smokeybandit replied to CruizIan's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
There will also be a subset of repeat cruisers that just stop cruising. Not due to concerns about covid, but just that they've found a replacement vacation activity in the mean time.
