We are having the same issue.  Had diving excursion booked for 6 months for our June cruise, but then RCCL cancelled it.  I have been checking regularly, but they have not posted any other dive options.  Is Buddy Dive near the port?  We have always booked our dives through the cruise line so we are a bit hesitant.

 

We are cruising May14th and will be diving with Buddy Dive. I booked this on my own through Buddy Dive. They have a great reputation as a dive center and are short walk from the pier. 

Can you request a deliver time or does it show up as they make the rounds kind of thing? 

Thank you for the information! 

Awesome thank you!

Does each person in the cabin need to check for boarding time or just one? Also there is a group who have linked accounts can on person check in for all of them if they are not in the same cabin but have link accounts?

Thank you!

Does Royal have a list of Caribbean ports that are requiring you to exclusively use the ships excursions and not venture out on your own?

How early should we order the tests? We have a cruise in May. My concern is the expiration dates on the test kits.

When doing the math to decide on getting the DBP I don't just figure in alcoholic drinks, but also specialty coffees, juices, bottled water, etc. If the daily price drops below $60 then it's worth it to me. My wife doesn't drink alcohol at all, so I just call RC and they allow me to have the DBP without her having to purchase one.

We did the same thing, we called and explained why my wife cant drink and they allowed for me to get the DBP and she didn't have to. 

What is the advantage of booking flights through Royal?

Thank you 

Would this also be the same on Explorer? 

Is there a plan for when everyone will be migrated to the new cruise planner?

No one at the CDC is happy the pandemic happened but they are taking the opportunity presented to purge cruising from the US.   

Why would this be the goal of the CDC? 

Isn't that that truth? I am not sure where they have been for the last year? In their ivory tower avoiding the impending doom?

I am by no means an expert or even all that well read on things but to me it seems as though the CDC wants to create as many unachievable obstacles as possible so that they can simply say, look we tried and you the cruise industry can't  follow them. The why (I always try to understand the why) they wants this doesn't make any sense to me. But them again what sense has the CDC made over the past year or so?

Thank you!

Can you immediately purchase the same item when you cancel it? Also how long does it take for a refund after you cancel an item?

Thank you for the information

We are booked on the Explorer Of the Seas for an 8 day southern Caribbean out of Miami with no private island stops in May of 2022 and it looks like they have all summer in 2022.
