Regarding the vaccine card, I saw in the app that my vaccination records had been verified. Does that mean they'll still want to see them at the port (as in we should still have them in our hands like our SetSail pass and passport), or will they skip that entirely?

Yes, they'll still want to verify a physical copy.

Anyone can book a cruise.  It’s dealing with any issues that come up after booking where having a travel agent is priceless.   

Exactly, the fun my TA had is trying to figure out what the F%@* happened with a set of FCCs. When all was done she had quoted being on the phone for several hours.

Sorry to disappoint you. Wonder is docked at Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale.

Wonderland and Chops, yes for the appetizers. Entrées at Wonderland I believe so and at Chops it is typically no. That said, at Chops I've had them bring an extra entrée for the table "to share" on a few occasions.

Think after the restart not charging for the hot items was attempt to reduce the crowding in Windjammer and the MDR at breakfast. I recall on Indy it was mentioned in the Compass: Room service is complimentary for breakfast from 6a-11a. For all other meals, a convenience fee of $7.95 applies.

Prices have been posted: $25 for brunch and $40 for dinner. Children 6-12 would be $11.

That's a great brunch menu! Is it Saturday & Sunday or just Sunday?

Seems brunch is only offered on sea days.

something distinctive with tape

This is my method. Swear I can spot my bag halfway across the terminal.

Only negative is the adhesive residue. Positive is having some tape for any random needs.

Playmaker's is considered as dining venue. With the UDP you'd get a $20 credit.

Keep in mind being "up to date" is defined as receiving as booster if eligible.

From the CDC Operations Manual

For CDC’s COVID-19 Program for Cruise Ships, the following criteria should be used when evaluating if a traveler is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines:

Date of booster eligibility: A traveler becomes eligible to receive a booster dose 5 months after they have completed their primary series of an mRNA vaccine, or 2 months after a single dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (J&J/Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine.

“Up to date” status: If an eligible traveler has not received a booster dose but is within 6 months after completing their primary series of an mRNA vaccine, or within 3 months after a J&J/Janssen single dose, then they can be considered up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines. If it has been more than 6 months since a traveler completed their primary series of an mRNA vaccine, or more than 3 months since a traveler’s single dose J&J/Janssen vaccine, the traveler is not considered up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.

Example for mRNA vaccines (Pfizer BioNTech/Moderna): Traveler A received their second Pfizer BioNTech/Moderna dose on January 1, 2022, the traveler can be considered up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines until July 1, 2022. If Traveler A does not get a booster by July 1, 2022, then they will not be considered up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.

Example for J&J/Janssen vaccine: Traveler B received their J&J/Janssen dose on January 1, 2022, then the traveler can be considered up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines until April 1, 2022. If Traveler A does not get a booster by April 1, 2022, then they will not be considered up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.
 

No guest access to the Boardwalk from the aft end of the corridors. You'll have to enter the Boardwalk from the midship elevators area.

My six year old son has been wondering can you get a shake at breakfast at JR? We'll be on Harmony in November.

Welcome to the boards!

In the most recent version of the breakfast menu for JR they've had a maple bacon shake for an upcharge. I'll assume it'd be covered by the Refreshment or Deluxe beverage package.

Soon... About 20 miles off the coast.

It looks like unvaccinated kids can get antigen test, instead of pcr. That would make things easier for us since we have a 3 year old. 

The embarkation testing is the factor. Royal has opted to provide antigen for the embarkation test. Policy states that at least one of the tests has to be a NAAT type.

On the screenshot provided this is what the "[*]" says: [*] Either the pre-embarkation day test or the embarkation day test must be NAAT.

Does the CDC actually require pre-cruise testing of all passengers? Admittedly, their program is about as clear as you'd expect from a government agency, but as far as I can tell, the new CDC voluntary program only requires embarkation tests for crew, with pax only required to test in the case of close contact or when experiencing symptoms.
