De-nice

I think it would be good to have a contractor at the pier performing viral testing for those who arrive without a test result…even for a reasonable fee. That would help those who don’t get their private test results back in time, and just show up thinking they can board anyway.

Thank you for the input. I delved a little deeper into the RC website and see that they accept the rapid  antigen test. I’m kind of surprised that RC is taking the rapid antigen test as it is my understanding that those can result in false negatives. I was assuming they would want the PCR test and everywhere I looked no one would guarantee results in 72 hours (Rite Aid said “2 to 7 days,” CVS says “1-2 days*” the asterisk being if the lab wasn’t to busy. Who knows what it will be like in a month).
Anyway, my local CVS does the rapid test, and I can make an appointment 2 weeks out. Yay!
Thanks again for helping me navigate the wonderful world of COVID testing. I have managed to not be tested up until now (I have been able to work at home and although my husband works at the airport he has been extremely careful). Going to do whatever it takes to get on that boat in October ?
 

I get horribly motion sick, have sailed out of NYC once and had no issues. Of all my cruises (which admitted at 5 is not that many) I only had an issue with sailing out of Alaska (and then only for about a day). The stabilizers seem to operate as advertised.

I hadn’t even considered that our fancy dress clothes wouldn’t fit. We definitely put on the COVID 19 (or 20, or 25). We have a family wedding in August so something has got to fit by then or we are going shopping,
I’ve been slowly taking off the pounds since mid-January, and I’m about 10 pounds away from my cruise goal. As is usual for women, I keep plateauing and am lucky if I lose a pound a week. My husband lost 25 by Easter ?. 
 
 
 

? OMG, if you knew my husband you would know he wouldn't be caught dead outside the house in torn jeans and a cutoff T.  The other night my son's girlfriend was coming over and my husband's reaction was no one told him and he was too casual.  He was wearing denim shorts and a t-shirt that didn't even have pit stains.  We assured him he looked fine and that she wasn't coming to see him anyway.  But then again, I never saw his father without a tie until after I married his son, and even then he would apologize to me for being so casual.  He is his father's son.  I don't know if I can even convince him to not wear a tie to CK on formal night.  But then again...if I "forget" to pack one.... 
I won't even buy $50 jeans if they are not on sale!  I never did understand people buying ripped jeans and paying good money for them, the jeans are just going to rip eventually anyway!

I don't know about that... this is what a $1,750 pair of jeans looks like these days.

I’m over dressing up on formal nights (well, more like over having to packing dressy clothes). As we have access to CK, can I just plan to be “dressy casual” on those nights and eat there?

I really appreciate everyone’s responses. I’m totally overthinking this whole beverage package thing. Honestly, I’m not heading up to the Suite Lounge during the day, I’ll happily pay for a drink at whatever bar is closest. I’m just trying to figure out if the beverage package is a good value for us. 

The best deal I’ve seen so far is 30% off, and for my sailing that takes it to about $51. I’m struggling to determine my “break even” point. I mean, I feel like I don’t drink that much alcohol (although I did manage to down 5 glasses of Prosecco at my nephew’s wedding) and I don’t drink soda. But, I do appreciate good coffee (i.e., not McDonald’s, not Starbucks, my sweet spot is Wawa if you know it), sparkling water, the aforementioned Prosecco (what can I say, I have a thing for bubbles) and convenience.  
 
Like I said totally overthinking this. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go update my “Pros & Cons of Purchasing Deluxe Beverage Package”spreadsheet ?
 

Thank you, when I search "Suite Lounge" here and on line I get much better results.  Great tip!
Thank you for the input!  I'm putting your convenience argument into the mix ?
