OasisQueen

Sailing out on Sunday. How was your experience with this terminal? I have read some older comments about it being "disorganized" but that was from at least 1+ year ago. I think (may be incorrect), but I think the Harmony is one of/the first of the Oasis class to be at this port. I reckon there's not a difference in terms of process but just curious if you found that it went smoothly. We've had different experiences with the different terminals we've been to and am interested to see what the consensus is.

@SpeedNoodles That's wild!

Any news @brdjnr?

lol

@brdjnr Same! I didn't know it even existed until about 3 months ago and I have been cruising since 2008! Wishing you luck!

aka cruise summary, luggage tags, health acknowledgment "guest ticket booklet".

We sail out on 11/12 on the Harmony..... We have put in for 3 upgrade bids.....we just received our itinerary with- not the upgrades (LOL) So what I'm wondering is, if those who have had their bids accepted, did they send you the itinerary with your original room and then new one? Since they say it can be even up to 2 days before sailing , I'm a little confused if this means we did not infact get upgraded? I hope this makes sense and any information is helpful. Thank you.

Hi all. We are sailing out of Galveston for the first time in November. We are a family of 4 and it seemingly sounds like rideshare service will be the most cost effective for transport to our hotel/port but since I have not experienced it yet I would love to get advice. We’ll plan to fly in the day before but recommended hotels are also very welcome. Appreciate any insight.

Resort pass ended up being totally worth the money.

Sorry I posted in other category but haven't received any responses and hope you don't mind it.... Perhaps this the new way, but I have never had all shore excursions sold out prior to sailing! I was advised of an email address that we can use to check on cancellations, but tell me there's hope when you board of potential (more) opportunities to book.

We're in the same boat (thank you thank you) but in southern caribbean next week.

we're scheduled to arrive their in 2 weeks. all the excursions are sold out.

Are the cruise lines back to full capacity in 2022? Last October, we were on the Symphony and it was 40%capacity I believe. It was great (and weird).

Reading reviews in resort pass and quite a few people have said they're treated "differently" (as one put it second class citizens). Things such as "we were not allowed to use the pool" and we were sent to a "corner section".

I had no idea this existed!. thank you.

Sadly, our hotel that we're staying at doesn't offer a day rate. With that being said, do you know of hotels that DO offer that (in Ft. Lauderdale)?

We'll be in Ft. Lauderdale.

What are somethings you do or can recommend for a family of, 4 once you disembark. Our flight is in the evening which leaves us ample time to kill (like 10 hours). I'd love to hear some recommendations. I thought perhaps reaching out to the hotel we will stay at, may allow us to store luggage while we find something to do, otherwise we're stuck sitting at the airport (which is what we did last year). We've been cruising for over 10 years and you'd think by now we'd have a plan. LOL. Any helpful advise please and thank you.

Does RC offer priority boarding/check in for suite guests? Are you allowed to check in at any time or have to abide by the "check" in you selected? Appreciate any information and thank you in advance for any insight.

Don't need to worry about it now! Thank goodness. Thanks all for the replies. I appreciate it.

What has your experience been like getting tested at your local pharmacy? More specifically I am worried about the turn around time (can take 2 days) and if you've received your results back in enough time? The pharmacies do offer rapid, however, in my area, there are no available so I'm in a bit of a pickle. I know I could purchase the Binax at home and do like we did last year, but I'm hoping to avoid a cost.
