I saw a gym video tour of the Wonder where it looks like there are Peloton bikes available outside of the classroom, but they have a sign on them asking "Want to take Peloton for a spin?". Does anyone know the details of these bikes? Can they be used independent of classes? Do they have to be used with Peloton or can they be used on their own? They can be seen on this video tour at about the 1 minute mark.

Has anyone gone recently or maybe heading out this weekend that can comment about the on board pricing for the Cococay Thrill park passes? We are going on Freedom for the March 21st sailing. The deal doesn't seem to be that great right now, and we might just wing it to play the weather unless it's still a good pre-boarding deal (currently $103).

We got back from the Freedom yesterday and had two different experiences regarding the children's testing so I wanted to give aittle update. The testing is basically "nose picking depth" as JeffB mentioned above however the time and intensity is highly dependent on the person performing the test. My 7 year old was in and out of the chair after what seemed like 1-2 seconds in each nostril. My 4 year old didn't have the same luxury. The technician testing her seemed to be in one nostril aggressively trying to capture every bit of boogers for at least 10 seconds, then jumped over to the second nostril and started a little deeper than the first. That lasted about 1 second before my daughter pulled away. The technician let her be luckily but we did have to deal with some tears for about 5 minutes. Luckily we didn't encounter a second test prior to disembarking. Our best guess is that because the ship was at sea our final day, the testing was skipped.

Just got back from Freedom. They were willing to do it on board but would not offer a discount to the package.

Same here. Freedom on Aug 2nd. Thanks for the response! I've got my fingers crossed it's not a deep nasal swab because I just know my 4 year old will want nothing to do with the final test on board.

Definitely prefer a balcony, but I would book any inside stateroom EXCEPT the ones next to the employee stairwell. The luggage banging down those stairs on the last night is unbearable.

Good Day All, first time posting to the blog, but have read numerous posts and find tons of great tips and information on this site. I didn't see anything regarding the type of test performed for traveling children, so here goes. I'm curious if anyone has traveled with children under the age of 12 that can comment on the type of test the children are required to take? I asked the question to RCL and was told it was a "standard nasal swab" but I can't find if they consider the "poke-the-brain" type swab as the standard. Thank you.
