The way it works is: if there are 2 adults in the room you can call Royal and request one drink package and one refreshment package.  Not necessary to give a reason.  The person with the refreshment package can order a drink here and there while cruising and just pay for that drink when ordered.  

I got one of these tests from another passenger after one of my switch health tests failed me, was so excited not to have to scramble to find a testing location, only to find out you cannot download their App to a Canadian SIM card. By then I was already at my hotel, so off we went to Lab doc and spent $70US 😞 

Boarded today with the Costco Covid test and no questions asked.

So I spoke with the Pharmacist at Costco on the weekend, and they are a certificated pharmacy to test. He read the RC requirements and said everything is listed as outlined except the CLIA number as that is for Lab testing (he assumed). He showed me the testing box and it’s assured me it’s the exact same tested used by Shoppers. It was the Abott testing kit. 
Im booked in for March 10th. If there are any issues I will let ppl know.

You need to get your reservations linked for dining - call your TA or Royal - you need their reservation number.

Yes, you would need a cell phone to complete the test. Once you create an ASMO account, you register yourself and dependants. Once ready, u sign in the site and click on the options to connect with a telehealth rep. You have to call in each test. 

A child needs to be 13 in order to have an account with Royal Caribbean and an account is needed to log into the app. 

I think it's a fair value at $79 to $99 pp.  I have been there 2 times and enjoyed it, the food is really good.  I have also spent the day in the "free" areas of PDCC and had just as good a time.

We just completed the SH Antigen tests on Navigator on Sunday evening.  You need surf and stream to be able to do the video call.  Reception did cut out twice but we were able to get back in the que.  Overall it was a pretty easy set up and it was nice to be able to complete while in our cabin and not having to try to find somewhere to test when we left the ship.  You have to take a picture of your negative result and upload to your account and then results were within 30 minutes.   Look exactly the same as the results you receive via email if you test at a SH facility.  We will be using these again to disembark future cruises.  We loaded results to Air Canada's check in website without issue. While I can't speak to them being accepted to board, based on what was looked for this cruise and our one in January, I feel pretty confident they would be accepted.  Agents are really looking for date and the word negative.

Guilty! First time cruiser and got excited every time I seen an email from Royal up to only be disappointed it was a cancellation as I would upgrade my stateroom as prices came down. Then had to sign back in and update my bids all over again. A few weeks ago at noon, bamn got the email that said my bid was accepted and I almost fell over. After reading all the stories, I felt it would never happen to me as a first time cruiser. Good luck! Hope u win a bid. 
Now if they can just come out with a sale for Deluxe drink pkg and Internet, I’d be a happy camper. 

No beverage package cover room service drinks.  You have to go and get them.
