Hello All! Just wondering if anyone has recently gotten their pre-cruise COVID tests done in Fort Lauderdale? If so, where did you go, and did you have to schedule it in advance? We arrive in Fort Lauderdale 5 days before we board the AOS in March, and will need to get our tests done. We were not planning on renting a car while we were in Fort Lauderdale, but I don't know if an Uber or Lyft would take us through a Walgreens or CVS for the drive thru testing. I did see that Snyder Park, in Fort Lauderdale, offers free drive thru and walkup rapid antigen testing Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. Curious if anyone has used this before too. Thanks in advance, and happy sailing!!! Bill

AspiringCruisePlanner, can you tell me how you found out there were 4 of the ATS rooms still available? Did you just go to the RC website and do a ghost booking on that cruise? Thank you!

I received the email for the RoyalUp today. Thanks to all that have commented on this post, as it was very informative in deciding if I wanted to try for an upgrade or not. My wife, daughters 15 and 10, and myself are booked in a JS on the Allure of the Seas, departing March 27, 2022. I ended up bidding a little over the minimum for a 2 bedroom Grand Suite, and the minimum for a 2 bedroom Aqua Suite. I'm really hoping we win one of them, and if we do, I'm not telling my family about it until we open the doors on the ship! I can only imagine the surprise looks on their faces, especially if we get the Aqua Suite! Again, thank you all for the posts!
