Curious if concierge made CK reservations normally show up in Cruise Planner calendar?  I had confirmation via email from concierge about my CK request for reservations, but not seeing them in my calendar.  Do they normally show there?

Sorry about that. I had to re-upload it at somepoint.  Here is the new link

 

Awesome, thank you.

Seems video link is no longer valid

Let's hope all goes well with the 9/10 sailing, and that Hurricane Lee is out of our way by 9/17!

Hope all goes well with the 9/10 changed sailing!  I'm on the 9/17 Eastern itinerary right after, and hope to at least be sailing on 9/17 to somewhere!!

I am seeking input from those who have cruised in WOS GS cabins that are more forward than aftward (1702,1704,1706,1708)  I will be staying in 1706 which is relatively close to the pool and was wondering about noise there on the balcony.  Tried as hard as I could to find any reviews for these more forward cabins, but not a one to be found (many were found for those more aftward and closer to CK/SL, or 1700/1750 front facing ones).

Has anyone here had experience in 1706 or 1756?

Thanks!

Thanks for the email

5-6 days is common. It was 8 on Wonder in June but that was unusual.

AN_concierge01@rccl.com or AN_concierge02@rccl.com

Anyone know what the email is for Wonder concierge.  Guessing WO_concierge01@rccl.com ???

We just got confirmation today that we won an upgrade from JS to GS for our 9/17/23 Sailing on Wonder!  So that's 15 days in advance for upgrade notification.  Was a bit surprised it happened so far in advance of sailing since it appeared that this sailing was pretty much sold out.  I was pleasantly surprised this morning.

It was definitely worth the effort.  I had learned about the ruins at Chichén Itzá in the sixth grade and I finally saw them for myself !  Yes, it was a lot of travel time but I’m glad we went.  The grounds are actually pretty compact - the sites aren’t way, way apart - so the walking was less than I expected.  It was h.o.t.  As the tour guide said, “There are 2 season in the Yucatán - hot and extremely hot”.  We were in the extremely hot season, apparently.   Lol

I’m super glad that we went with a Royal Caribbean excursion b/c we were a little bit late getting back to the ship.  I don’t think we would have been in danger of getting left behind, but I still would have been very stressed if we had been on a third party excursion.  We were tired when it was over but both very glad we did it.  I think going to these ruins from Progreso, vs Cozumel probably saved an hour or so in travel time, so not a huge difference, but still, saved a little time.  At least we didn’t have to ferry to the mainland and THEN ride a bus for another 2 hours !

I’m glad you found it worth it!  Thanks for the report.  I think since my WOS 9/17 trip offers this from Cozumel and requires that FERRY, I’m going to cancel and change to something less travel time intensive.

...I have decided to finally bite the bullet and do the Chichen Itza excursion when we go to Progreso on Serenade (7-6-23).  I have always avoided it due to the very VERY long day that it entails, but decided to go ahead and jump this time.  It's our only port (shorty 4 nighter) so it will consume all of my available energy !  I hope I don't regret it.  Think it might be hot in July ?  

How was your experience?

We will be there on Wonder and looking forward to a great cruise!

Are the test from Royal Caribbean website these antigen tests or PCR tests? Thanks 

 

They are Antigen tests

We work in retail as well, so I completely understand the tension there and potential for infection breakout.  I am wishing you good results and a happy cruise.  

We can take the Proctored test at midnight so registers as 2 days before our cruise (Anthem 12/31).  We took at home non proctored tests this morning and got negative result good news, so if all holds constant for the next 15 hours or so then we will be good to go!

Wife and I can now relax as we both tested negative with proctored Emed BiaxNow!

I’m not in fear of our 12/31 Anthem cruise being cancelled.  We had our last 2 bookings cancelled during pandemic so cant wait to get back onboard!

What I fear most is the at home antigen test results on 12/29
