Cruising With JT

2 days on Allure is going to be so hard!!

PS -- my favorite ship and cruise of all time.

All media invitees so they can report on it properly.  

One more sleep!

@CHRIS WONGI am staying in this exact same room when I board Odyssey in November. It's a great room perfect for 1 person! Looking forward to meeting you! I think you'll be in the casino so I will look for you there. Big fan!

They're that far down the list already?

We are only in trouble once they invite...  @Big Dawg Ron

Looks like I'll be onboard as well for this test sailing.

Cabin assigned.  
Ocean View Balcony.  

In my latest vlog, I share my thoughts after the simulated test cruise.
 
It went very smooth, and from what I've heard so far, feedback has been very positive.

Madly trying to learn the TikTok app as I write this... just in case.

Congrats @twangster, few more months until I am on her. Enjoy the shows, lobster night and wearing your best prom tuxedo. ....that is unless you get stuck playing an unvaxxed pax. If that is the case, through a fit about testing positive and declare RCG set you up....??

Formal night?  Lobster?  ?
Mamma Mia!  Here we go again...

I would definitely take that about now. Enjoy!
 
Happy Cruising!

Now its common Knowledge that the unvaccinated are more likely to catch covid than the vaccinated,the seriousness of any virus obviously depends on the health of the individual. But lets say on a ship with 90% unvaccinated and an outbreak occurs because that 90 % for whatever reason have decided against the vaccine, what happens to the 10% vaccinateds cruise? Cut short? Loss of money for flights etc? 
CDC comes down hard again? 
Its a mask! Do i like wearing it? No!! But i look at the bigger picture! England has dropped all regulations and cases and deaths are rising ( highest numbers since January) more cases means our hospitals are overwhelmed again thus resulting in people requiring non covid ops having to wait. 
Now yes everyone has a choice get vaccinated or not but every company or government has the same choice in what they decide to do with regards wearing masks, said from day 1 whatever the rules are you follow them and if you aint happy you dont go.

I've pretty much decided that if this proceeds I'm not going to live blog it.  
There is too much riding on this for the cruise line.  Posting an errant photo or comment could cause the CDC to pause or fail the simulation cruise.  
Once it's known the certificate to sail has been awarded I'll consider posting about the experience, assuming I am selected to go forward.

Congrats @twangster!! Excited to hear about your experience as well. I know a few RCL Blog Insiders who are also going! I am not sure if you're one of them since I don't know your real name ?

What do you think about the Solo Balcony Room I stayed in during my quarantine period?
 
Before quarantine, I didn't even know there were different types of balcony staterooms.
 
 

I just wanted to make a quick post regarding comments/messages. As a Royal Caribbean crew member, I have strict rules to follow when it comes to social media. There are certain things I can and cannot talk about. This is why I don't respond to 95% of my comments, just in case I say something I'm not supposed to. I could potentially jeopardise my employment with the company by slipping up.   I hope this makes sense. Please know that I read all of your comments and messages. Thank you for continuing to support me, and engaging with my content.
