Not Breaking Any Rules It says you mush purchase a tour though Royal if you wish to go ashore. Period. End. Have yet to see anything that says otherwise. Tours Required for Families With Unvaccinated ChildrenFamilies traveling with unvaccinated kids must purchase a local tour through Royal Caribbean if they wish to go ashore in ports of call. This applies to all ports of call except Perfect Day at CocoCay, Labadee and Port Canaveral, Florida. Vaccinated parents wishing to go ashore freely can visit our youth facilities onboard to learn about drop off program hours and availability, and reserve time for their child on the day they wish to go in port

1. What do you all think one does on does on a “bubble” tour? It’s often nothing more than a bus ride to a public beach where you mix with thousands of others, some from other ships, local island, etc. Nice ones have drinks and food included. 2. Where is there a rule that says you have to B-line back to the ship? You go as the the tour guides you. There was never ever any instruction given that says otherwise. You all are just assuming without any experience.

Love the blind justification for all the senseless protocols. How on Earth does it make sense to socially distance on the ship but then it’s ok to pack in like Sardines for an hour because it’s only with “bubble” from the ship? The local ports and tours even promote self-exploration and shopping. No one is breaking any rules, just checking arbitrary box from CDC. At least in North America, things may be different in Europe.

I was on there too and fully agree!

The “bubble” tour is just a ticket off the ship to meet CDC requirements. It’s any Royal Caribbean excursion and you can freely roam or do your own tour once off. It’s not an actual bubble as you are mixed with thousands of other passengers for long periods of time, at least for disembarkation process and even worse on tender days.

Standard was an antigen test onboard. Not sure if PCR can be requested as a special request?
-
Liberty was over 80% last week. I think a lot of ships are shooting for 100% by the holidays.
-
The only thing that comes to mind is CDC’s status for the ship. However Explorer is currently in green status and it’s not a tool to predict the future.
-
Not yet, which has upset some people. With higher numbers next week, would expect it to open then. Time will tell…
-
They used to have one on Voyager class ships.
-
Great advise. This is why you should always pay with a credit card and never a bank card. The debit cards offer so much less protection and no travel benefits. Not much help to OP now, but hopefully going forward…

I really like most of these suggestions. Unfortunately helipads are no longer a thing on modern ships and cruise ships. Winch only is the future.

Bed rails/fall protection for children
Heymarco replied to MattG's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Pro tip: some parents turn the couch around so it faces the wall and add sheets. Then there are nice walls on both sides and much bigger than Pack and Play. This family also put up an extra black out curtain with magnets… -
How does the refreshment package work?
Heymarco replied to MomOf6's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I have two bottles of water at the same time, normally after a late night to go back to room. -
The app has the show schedule as well. You can check your sailing and if shows are not loaded yet, just check the current sailing. Generally schedules don’t change too much for repeat itineraries.

Odyssey Differences from Other Quantum Class
Heymarco replied to twangster's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
There have been some complaints about the new touchless elevator buttons. Lots of floors being accidentally pressed. -
Harmony planning for 4500+ next week.
-
Liberty is already doing 2600+, would expect it to be at capacity fairly soon.
-
Another vote for flying, my general rule of thumb is anything over 3 hours. Worst case scenario, you could rent a car and drive home if needed.

Serenade of the Seas (Radiance class) White lifeboat cover
Heymarco replied to levib2's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It depends what part of deck seven, some of the balconies stick out more than others. Sitting down, you should be able to look out and see the sea pretty well. You probably will still see some of the white obstruction though. Here is a photo for general reference. -
Mine shows the name of the gym that was used for a temporary vaccination site.

Royal Up Bids - All Still Pending (Thoughts?)
Heymarco replied to sandc4e's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It will show pending from the moment you bid until the offer is accepted or rejected. However, some people have reported seeing other offers rejected while one offer still showing pending but ability to modify offer has gone away. I’m most cases that offer is accepted within a day or two but on the rare occasion even those have been rejected last minute.
