I thought I had read somewhere that they can flip the mattress? That one side is firmer than the other? I really dislike hard mattresses I hope this is true! We will be on the Regal in September.

I believe they changed the medallion platform at some point. Because it worked great before the pandemic, no problems using it in 2019 and 2020 before the shutdown. Now in 2022 it's a smaller medallion and comes in different packaging and the app is very finicky. The internet in general is terrible and it was also fine pre pandemic. So just guessing they changed something on it.

We (4 of us) were on board 4/23-4/30 and did not get Covid or even a cold. We did wear our masks most of the time. But being it was a cold and somewhat rainy cruise it was difficult to social distance as everyone was inside a lot of the time. I think the shortage of crew contributed to the long lines for dining and also the the fact that the medallion app was not working properly for crew and passengers. Only two of our four could use the app at all and the internet was achingly slow. We had tours cancelled in Astoria and Seattle which was disappointing and the tour in Victoria to Butchart Gardens and the Butterflies was very short and rushed. I would encourage future guests to get a Covid booster at least two weeks before cruising. jmho 🙂

There were cases on board but they would not say how many. I was kind of surprised they didn't test everyone again on board since we were going to Canada. But Canada has relaxed their protocols.

I was on the Ruby last week. I believe I did see a country/western line dance event one day or evening. I brought the Patter's home will try to check.
