@RKennedy1279can you let me know how crowded Indy is? We are sailing on her 2 weeks after you.

Pre COVID Indy never felt full to us even though it was sold out.  Don’t remember having to really wait long for activities. 

Boyfriend who loses key to girlfriend room gets no newkey!   sorry couldn’t resist. 

Yes Independence has a duty free store.

I reached out to my local CVS, and they told me 14 days is still in effect but of course, things are still subject to change. He (Pharmacist) said look for your desired date and book. If you don't see your date, he said look daily..ie. Say if you are cruising on Monday, 11/1. You should have your test booked for Saturday, 10/30. It might only show dates up to 10/29. If that's the case, check back the next day and the system will add the next available date to book. I hope I explained that correctly lol. But according to him, he said look & book. for those needing testing. 

I was able to book CVS this morning for our 11/1 cruise. We were able to reserved 10/30 afternoon but many open slots earlier in day. 

Beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing

Not on Independence or Liberty. We’ve had neighbors on all 4 of our cruises. 

Did you have to make reservations for the shows on Independence?  If so how/where did you make them?

Just remember you are on vacation and bleh weather in the Caribbean is still better than good weather while at work/home.

I advised him to ask for a CDC card from work.  He texted me a while ago that the Mayo Clinic gave him one.  I don't see any signatures/initials on the card, just a patient number, vaccine lot numbers and "Mayo Clinic" on the "Healthcare Professional or Clinic Site" column.  Could that be a problem?  I've been seeing some discussions on another thread about signatures and stickers.

They can also access their shot record via Mayo Clinic app if they have issues, but should not with this card.

Indy never offered reservations in advance for Grease or the Ice Skating show.    They too will offer them onboard now.

Do you have to have reservations and if so, where/how do you make them onboard?

Walgreen's does rapid tests.  You can schedule an appointment 2 days prior to your target date of testing. Do it very early in the morning to have more appointments available.  I've been seeing more and more appointments available these days.  The red icon means Rapid Test available

Perfect. That is good news about more and more being available. I was concerned being they only open two days prior. Thanks much 

To all the North Florida bloggers, has any found a rapid testing site with appointments available?  I have been searching and appears only PCR test have appointments. I am beginning to think no CVS in Jacksonville area does them? 

If you are paying $5 for a bottle of smart water, it is not working.

Pre COVID we were off Indy and cleared customs in Port Canaveral by 8:30.  Very easy exit with face recognition at customs. 

Hello,

Question for any of you recent cruisers….does the Windjammer have the egg station open where you can get made to order eggs and omelettes for breakfast. 

The market is still there but has not reopened as of yet. No date announced according to tourist bureau I contacted today. 

When are the luggage tags usually available?

I have friends who recently cruised with RCL for the first time …….. they signed up for a crown and anchor number BEFORE their cruise …….. after their cruise, their account received DOUBLE points even though it was their first cruise.

 

How did they get a c&a number before the cruise?  My sister in law is sailing for the first time with us in November and would hope she could get double points.

Does anyone know when the double points is due to expire?

Members will receive double Cruise Points on bookings made through September 30, 2021 for sailings departing January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

Awesome. Thanks much.
