infosec123

Found this out from someone who just got off the Freedom of the Seas. Originally each child was allowed 4 hours per day in the kids club, but it has been reduced to a single slot per child for the entire cruise (confirmed). Of course RCL isnt actually telling anyone this, they find out when they get on board, but plenty of people here think RCL is transparent, who need to look up the definition of the word.

Ok, so what should we expect in two weeks? since you know Royal is being transparent in your opinion. How much time will my kids get at the kids club? Will they be able to use it one a day? Once again, since you say Royal is being transparent, this information should be available, that or you dont understand the definition of the word transparent...

Ive been following very closely and other cruise lines have no problem telling people what to expect before they sail. Apparently Royal DOES have this problem but for some reason people think they are being transparent.

Are there still going to be vaccinated only areas if the benefits (i.e. no mask wearing) no longer apply? They say this is until Jan 5th but with the current case trajectory, I would be surprised if they did not extend this policy.

I did re-read your post and am still confused as to what you are angry about, that is why I am asking.

Ok, several of my daughters friends have had COVID over this year and I wouldnt be surprised if both my kids have had COVID. What does that have to do with making you angry that crew members are being frustrated by lack of mask compliance? Dont they have their own channels to escalate issues?

Why are you so angry about this topic?

I mean legally it is, its just the CLIA is trying to play nice with the CDC. If the CDC did something brash like try and shut down the industry, they would get slapped down.

This. pre-pandemic there was no limit on going into a pool or sending kids to the kids club or other things. I experienced first hand on a Disney cruise what it looks like when they pack the ship as full as possible and dont loosen restrictions, it caused us to ditch Disney indefinitely, hoping to not have the same poor experience on RCL.

I strongly recommend waiting until after these restrictions are lifted before trying DCL. They price point is incredibly high, and we went on a cruise in October and were miserable due to Disney packing the boat but not adjusting capacity limits. Highlights included waiting 30 minutes to use the pool for 15 minutes, waiting 20 minutes in line to get a bowl of fruit, and waiting 30 minutes in line to drop my kids off at the kids club (they give you limited time in the kids club and don't care how long you wait in line).

This is the crux right here. Some countries have vaccine requirements, RCL would be required to enforce them if they continue the requirements, and I cannot think of any reason they wouldnt. And this will likely stretch further as Pfizer will have data on covid vaccination for children 2 - 4 and 6 months - 2 year early 2022, it might become a requirement for everyone to be vaccinated. If so, I hope they remove some of the restrictions.

Hi everyone,
We (myself+wife+8yoDD+5yoDS) are Disney "expats" and are fed up with DCL prices and the experience. We booked a b2b on the Freedom of the Seas in January 2022 and were wondering what to expect around the experience. We booked a grand suite room which gives us all those perks, but were wondering what the kids club areas will be like. I know that the covid protocols are fluid and may change, but I am expecting them to be largely similar in January as they are today. Searched for some FAQs on the web but really couldnt find anything. Also, anything we should know about? I know this is a loaded question, looking forward to everyones feedback.
