Yo2slick Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Does anyone know with all the recent changes are Unvax passengers able to access the entire ship with vax passengers? I know at one time they had vax only areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 They have been able to for quite some time now. They did away with the wristband program that identified vaccinated passengers from unvaxxed. Yo2slick and fireclan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Unvaxxed are able to cruise now (cruises 10 days or less, I believe) but unvaxxed still must test. Vaxxed no longer have to test unless the cruise is longer than 10 days. Ryan79, fireclan, Yo2slick and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with that. 3 years has been far to long and I can't wait to go back. 4ensic, WAAAYTOOO, Neesa and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But things are sure getting better all the time. Yo2slick and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morganno Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Just be careful to fully read the protocols it changes from region to ports even. Hope you have a great cruise. Just a word of warning to unvaxxed that have not had covid yet. There is a high risk of catching it on the ship. I speak from personal experience having done 2 seven night cruises. Many people including all those that hadn't yet had covid in my party caught it. Just want to add, good or bad, don't expect people to test or even tell Royal that they have it. That's clearly not happening in many cases. Yo2slick, Linda R, ChessE4 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's clearly not happening in many cases. Covid has been onboard for quite some time, even with masking and the testing. The strain in January became more difficult to detect on rapid tests, with many people 3-4 days into their symptoms and still testing negative on a rapid test. Then there are the asymptomatic people who are spreading it as well. In all those months people needed to show test results, to Royal so it wasn’t “I’m going to hide it”. Now with the newer protocol having taken effect last week, I can imagine there will be some untruths. I sailed 12 cruises since the restart without getting Covid and on cruise #13, 2nd half of a B2B , I tested positive.

Jamie F Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 i know this is off topic, but could i change my son who was meant to be staying in my room to his grandparents room? Any response would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any response would be great If it’s a full move out of your cabin to their cabin it would likely trigger a reprice on your cabin, as well as theirs. If their cabin has a third bed -you could get an extra key for him on embarkation day and settle him in there. a call to your travel agent or if you booked through Royal call them, should answer the reprice cost and if the grandparents cabin has that third bed. One other option, Assuming you are in a cabin that holds 3, you could switch a grandparent now with your son ….one of an original person on reservation must always stay the same-there’s no cost for name changes-and when you get onboard get extra keys for each cabin, and just settle yourself/other grandparent into whichever cabin you needed. You will need to carry the 2 key cards if you are the person who moved out of your original cabin-original card for ordering drinks or purchases onboard and to exit/renter the ship and the duplicate key to get into the cabin you switched into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called home to let my family know as some had disembarked the previous week, and one had symptoms and tested positive none of the other 4 family members contracted it.
