Allergic to Poinsettias - the holiday/christmas flower

[Tyler151]

Hello all,

I am hoping someone can help us. My girlfriend and I have a cruise booked for Anthem of the Seas on Jan 9th, 2022. I came to learn that RC decorates their ships with Poinsettias for the holidays (please google Poinsettias if you are not sure what they look like). My gf is very allergic to these plants. I have been trying to research when exactly RC takes down these decorations. I've heard sometimes they take them down right after new years on Jan 1st, or whenever the ship arrives back in Port after Jan 1st. 

Anthem will be coming back from a Dec 31 - Jan 9 sailing right before we board on Jan 9th. My question for you all is if you've ever been on a holiday cruise, 1. Are the Poinsettias real? 2. When do they get taken down? I am hoping that they will be taken down when Anthem arrives in Port on Dec 31st. That would give us time for the ship to be aired out. If they are on the ship until Jan 9th, I am worried my gf might have a reaction on the first day.

I called support about this and they couldn't tell me when the decorations will be removed, that it is up to the ship. If anybody knows how I could get in touch with someone that could give me more info or help, please let me know.

Thank you,

Tyler

@Tyler151unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question, but you might try reaching out to the Royal Caribbean twitter account. I have found them most helpful and they may be able to reach out to a specific ship for you, for guidance.

I'm pretty sure they will be down by January 9th.

They took down the decorations before our NYE cruise was even over on Freedom in 2019, so it's very likely that they will be far gone by the time you cruise.
