Good for you and I respect you for that. In 2020 we did 6 cruises. Came off the last ship in Bayonne March 15 and drove home. Managed to pull off 5 cruises in 2021. Have 8 booked thus far for 2022. Every single cruise is comped , most of them suites.

These youtube stars make me laugh with all their hand gestures. He's Italian of course. good points to know.

I think this is it... not sure. need to learn more. https://www.barbadostaxiservice.com/FastTrack/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAr5iQBhCsARIsAPcwROOEbB2qMOuQ9PhE6XsRSdNonmlXlWuDnp8HVIqmOp9F2DqpU1oVQLEaAqpbEALw_wcB

remember this. Mario is single. He books an inside cabin . There are lots of hiccups that would make that kind of living stressful . His costs out of pocket are about $50,000 US. annual. Many retirement homes can cost that much. So its really not bad when you take into consideration, all the perks in a cruise entertainment, sunshine, pools, food, bed made room cleaned., How anybody can do that must have issues that we are not aware of though...... friends? family? grandkids? special occasions? birthdays? Christmas? etc etc....... Its a hermit mentality.....and certainly not for everybody.

details please.

Go to the Barbados Government site to see the protocols. You may have an exemption. PCR IS 72 HOURS.

I stand corrected. PCR tests are expensive. Wallmart tests are antigen ONLY. You are going to have to find a lab at the lowest price. I am in Toronto, and most of them are $150 24 hour wait Rapid gets crazy pricing 250 and up

Interesting. I got a balcony offer on Wonder. Perhaps I should just book it (even though my dates are filled) and hope for changes? I take it you are not vaxxed then? Club Royale status reboots April 1st. I am signature now, and will remain that. So I dont know what you mean by an extension? Perhaps if I dont reach my status by April !st, they still push it forward? Reached status last Dec. Signature is a great place to be. Im not getting any junior suites or higher like years before however. I achieve them on board for the week and book it at next cruise.

I am already in a GS on Grandeur March 20. I got an email to upgrade to an OS for $199 and as good as that is, I passed on it. GS is good enough.

Not so sure this has been posted before, but its simply an FYI. If you gamble enough to earn points that accumulate for a free future cruise certificate, you will qualify for free OBC or Free play if you book that cruise with "Next Cruise " . I have done it twice, and received $500 per cruise. Another great perk for the best casino at sea! They keep improving the sail dates available and I just got an invite for Wonder of the seas in my weekly /monthly offer. Sadly I am so booked I can't take advantage of it!

switch is $160 CAD. But I dont think you need it . Royal will give you the PCR test to return home. You need a Travel antigen test to fly to barbados(pcr) Im going to Wallmart $16.99 CAD

ok, so on b2b cruises , you do NOT need a pcr test to re-board the ship? I hope this is true and can be verified! I want to spend beach days in Barbados in between my 4 cruises!

Does Switch Health offer this? Anybody done it using ships internet? Im doing b2b cruises (8 of them) and Royal no longer comps tests. Is the PCR at the terminal (Bayonne) still $210 US?

costco is $16.99 Wallmart $19.99

I have been on ships that have stopped at this port 4 times since Dec . I would not recommend any excursion period . The staff at the excursion desk agree. Too many disappointments/ cancellations. Lack of time .

Walmart pharmacy $19.95 . Save your money

wow! thanks for that info!

I live in an igloo, and wear a parka. Have you heard the rumour that the Grand Canyon was started by a Scotsman who lost a coin in a ditch?

Tell me more about your research on FL. Im looking too. It makes sense. I posted about this. Matt may have some insight on this as he lives in Florida along with Tony from La Lido Loca.

Im a Canadian. I can live in the USA for 6 months a year. The term "Snowbirds" is what we are called. To take advantage of all the "drive to" ports in Florida , with Royal Im looking for recommendations for a place to reside rent or buy (whatever is best) . Take into account all the expenses bond fees, HOA fees, taxes, maintenance, Maintenance condo fees if that applies, and then there is insurance. Lets factor in traffic congestion, weather, and crime/safety. What is the best value proposition for all of that? I also prefer the larger ships and not so sure what ports they are parked at. I do not cruise in summer as I enjoy summer here in Canada. I would say Dec-may thx in advance.

I was aware of that thanks. Ive joined this group to perhaps discover "inside information" Stuff that Royal doesn't publish. Hacks. How to circumvent the system if you can. Avoidances, must dos, must nots, Matt does a good job on most of this on video. Im often surprised as to how much can you talk about Royal on a week to weeks basis? With so many newcomers, the questions will keep coming. so be it. We dont want Matt to lose his job! lol Gotta love those super chats! lol

You will need a antigen test as far as I know to board the ship. But a PCR to disembark... I think

Im going in March as well. As far as I know, you get a free pcr test on board.,
