Walgreens or local in Seattle or emed proctored test??? Emed. Easy and available 24/7 with no appointment needed and I don't need to go anywhere. Plus, I still have four leftover from the six-pack I bought for our cruise back in January. (Expire in November) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueB Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Excited about Ketchikan! Not so much about missing the glacier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordyn Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Rebooked this sailing after we tested positive for COVID before our previous booking on Ovation in July! This is our (delayed) honeymoon cruise! We are so excited to see Alaska for the first time. Sad about missing the glaciers but excited for Ketchikan! For some reason my husband has a boarding time at 11 and I have a boarding time of 12:30. I keep checking back to see if I can change it but if not, just going to see if they will just let us both board at 11:00. See you all there!

We've chosen not to schedule anything there and just explore the town. I'm pretty disappointed about missing Icy Point Strait. We had a third party whale watching adventure scheduled. (Already refunded) I still think the compensation is pretty weak considering this is probably our one and only time going to Alaska and we're gonna miss glacier viewing. (Glacier excursions are just too pricey!) UPDATE: Right after I posted this, I just got a notice that our Royal Up bid was accepted! Maybe things are starting to looking up! But now I gotta print new luggage tags! LOL Jordyn and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Hive had just posted that earlier sailings were getting a full day of cruise fare, per person, refunded as on board credit. Not sure why our sailing has not been offered this as well. Congrats on your Royal Up Bid though! We have a balcony room so things aren’t all bad for us either haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only had a Guarantee Interior room (VERY low price!) and have moved up to a balcony for just one click over the minimum bid.

SueB Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 That's wonderful!! We have a balcony, and I did bid to Royal Up, but I know there is nothing available right now. I noticed a few more cabins opened up since they announced no glacier. I am very happy with our room choice and location, so I definitely will not be disappointed.

SPS Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 ARRIVECAN FORMS CAN BE COMPLETED NOW! I was on the ArriveCan app doing this very things when Royal Caribbean sent me a text message remining me to do this! Despite all the negative postings I've seen about how tedious completing these can be, it was actually quite easy and only took about 5-10 minutes. FYI: You only need one ArriveCan form for parties travelling together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted August 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 TODAY IS COVID TEST DAY! NEGATIVE RESULTS IN HAND AND ON OUR PHONES! I know I could get by with just having the results on our phones, but I ALWAYS carry hard copies of everything just in case of technological issues.

SPS Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 I hope everyone on this sailing had a good time on this cruise. We certainly did! I was thinking that maybe we would only do an Alaskan cruise once and now we rethinking that! Such a beautiful state. Now I gotta go and get these Cruise Compasses uploaded! Look for them in your inbox @Matt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
