You can definitely reprice after final payment. I have done so and was not booked under Cruise with Confidence.

You are incorrect in what you think is my interpretation. I fully expected there to be additional rules and policy to go along with this. As you can see in this screenshot MB just blanketly said after August 8 you are good. If you go back to my original post here, all I said was I did not understand why the miscommunication had not been addressed. 
When things are not communicated properly, it leaves room for much interpretation, which in turn leaves room for disappointment. I am fully vaccinated and will be sailing soon, so it is not that I am trying to get on board and can't. I just expect clear communication from such a large corporation, and this was not clear in the slightest. MB should not have been responding, but that is my opinion and I don't expect others to share it.
 

Of course. 





All of these responses were linked to his original post at the very top. 

There is a QR code you scan that takes you to the site or I’m sure the web address is provided as well. 

I just still want to know why Michael Bayley promised all cruises starting August 8th would not require vaccination and Royal still hasn’t addressed that or apologized for the gross miscommunication. 

Your interpretation is different than mine. He states "effective August 8th" in his original post about testing and then continues on to say they will also welcome unvaxxed under the same thought. When people asked him to clarify, he confirmed that after August 8th unvaxxed could sail. He even confirmed it for this blog as you can see in the screenshot above (and yes, all screenshots are directly from Michael Bayley's Facebook page on this exact post I referenced above or are from this blog directly).
I am not here to debate you, I am sharing my interpretation which also happens to be an interpretation many others had as well.
 

I do agree unfortunately. 

You can test any time within the 3 day window. So you are fine.

Please see this other recent thread. Matt responded there as well about his experience. 
 

Maybe "promising" was not the proper word to use when I first brought it up. He's not making a promise, he is making a statement. A statement that should have some weight considering he is the CEO, and a statement that was unfortunately worded to give more hope than it should have to some cruisers.

On this point we agree completely.  IMO Mr Bayley has had some significant errors in his social media posts over the last years; someone should certainly be proofreading his posts.

The problem with his post is not the contents its how its written! 
The lack of paragraphs means you go from 1 topic to the next without a break therfore resulting in confusion unless you imagine it with paragraphs.
Which takes me nicely to next topic.....Given how it is written with no paragraphs just 1 long blog could MB be the 1 and done hit and run poster 🧐 lol 😆 

This is clearly gotten very confusing for Royal employees as well. I spoke to 2 different employees on 8/4 and both told me for cruises after 8/8 there would be no vaccine requirement. I added a guest that is unvaccinated to a booking that had previously been for a solo cruiser and they purchased airline tickets based on that info. Shame on me for not having something in writing first.
I called in again this morning and was first told again that as long as the sailings didn't go to Canada or Bermuda a vaccine would not be required. When I asked them where I could find this information online I was put on hold for about 20 minutes then they came back and said that it didn't apply to cruises out of Florida, which mine is. 
I guess I will just have to keep my fingers crossed that Royal Caribbean includes Florida in the changes that were announced last night before we sail on 9/25.

I just still want to know why Michael Bayley promised all cruises starting August 8th would not require vaccination and Royal still hasn’t addressed that or apologized for the gross miscommunication. 

This is true. Mine now says:
Are you fully vaccinated for COVID-19? Y/N
Have you received a COVID-19 booster? Y/N
Will you be more than 23 weeks pregnant at any time during your cruise? Y/N
