No savings for me but thank you for the heads up!

Cruised 4 times since the restart (23 nights) and never caught COVID. We spent 5 nights in Disneyworld last week and 3 of the 4 of us came home with COVID (the 4th had COVID in January). We tested because we felt like crap with bad coughs.

I’ve helped my teens and my husband has helped his parents. No problem at all. -
Flowriders with Bump in the Middle

There’s a Facebook page called Royal Caribbean flowrider society. They will have the answer. -
Flowriders with Bump in the Middle
Jkaczano replied to ToddandKelly's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
There is nothing wrong with choosing a ship based on flowrider. Some people choose based on restaurants or rooms available, some based on amenities. I would never book Wonder again bc it only has 1 flowrider causing long lines and my teens to be unhappy. Everyone has their own priorities. -
I saw a video of the boarding of Harmony of the Seas
Jkaczano replied to Raven's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Huge waiting times at the end of Adventure boarding at Cape Liberty on May 26th. Rumor is port computer system went down for an hour or so so everything came to a standstill. No problem boarding at 11 but ship ended up leaving a couple hours late. -
I think this has changed in the new version. Originally, unvaccinated children had to be on a RC tour to get off the ship in port, then it changed. If I’m reading this correctly, looks like unvaccinated must be on a RC tour again.

I’m on this sailing. Nothing from RC by email yet, but it’s now (hidden) as a requirement in the app. When you open the app, there’s a blue banner that says “welcome aboard!” Click on that and it says that all guests must complete the mandatory travel information prior to your entry into Canada via the arrivecan website regardless of whether or not they choose to go ashore.

Parking-Cape liberty cruise port New Jersey
Jkaczano replied to Tret's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It’s located in the “V” where the 2 white buildings come together right in front of the terminal doors. It’s either the last or one of the last stops. You can’t miss it -
What do you use to hold your phone todo the home test.
Jkaczano replied to greenline627's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
They had me show my ID. No ID’s needed for my 14 and 15 year olds. -
Best way to price it is to go through as if you’re making a new booking and see what the total comes to

We prop the phone up against the island counter backsplash. Island Counter is perfect height with a light over it. -

refreshment package just popped up in my RC planner
Jkaczano replied to mike2608's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I see refreshment package at $23 per day per person all the time on my sailings. I, personally, think it’s high but I though Deluxe beverage package was high at $68 and it’s gone higher. -
Traveling with Friends Tested Positive
Jkaczano replied to Ed MacLean's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Your cruise is almost 3 weeks away. How sick is the other couple? If they have minor sneezing and coughing and aren’t showing serious symptoms, then I think you’re worrying over nothing. By the time of your cruise, they will be beyond their quarantine period and an antigen test should be negative (my son tested negative 7 days after his positive). Alternately, they can do a PCR test now and use a certificate of recovery to sail. The real key is going to be if they get “sick” and need medical care. -
Are passports required? What are your experiences with it?
Jkaczano replied to heythere's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Oasis June 10th ports of call are Port Canaveral, Nassau, and Perfect Day. If there was ever a itinerary where I would feel comfortable with just a birth certificate, that would be it. My husband, kids, and I have passports, but my mother in law did this itinerary on Oasis in September 2021 and Anthem in March 2022 both out of NJ with just her birth certificate and license and had no problem. -
What do you really expect for supervision for high school kids old enough to babysit? My teens (14 and 15) have done many cruises on both Royal and Disney where they have been in the teen clubs. Other than Disney crew members saying “Mickey language please” vs Royal crew members telling to “watch your language please”, there is no difference in the amount of supervision in the teen clubs. Heck, on Disney, 1 kid took a swing at another IN the club, and they didn’t even ban him from coming back (My kid was not involved but was present when it happened and freaked out). On Royal, my teens have seen none of that and I have never witnessed any teen on our sailings acting unruly.

Cruise Control Transport shuttle?
Jkaczano replied to Chris Fish's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We’ve used their private shuttle service and were very happy. Don't know about their shared service. -
After 7 cruises Disney and 3 on RCL - The biggest extra cost is the soda package at about $10.60 per person per day. Not necessary if you only drink water. RC also has beverage packages that include alcohol, which Disney does not. Standard Balcony rooms are also slightly smaller on RC, but for the price difference, we’ve moved to suites on RC. On RC, standard dining is in the Main Dining room, no rotation. RC does have more choices for specialty dining (up charge) than DCL.
