  1. A: yes, though often phones default international data to "off" B: You can do this, but the RC mesaging app is pretty clunky. C: Correct
  2. Sure, try those restaurants as a one off. But not via the dining package.
  3. C'mon, admit you missed the sardine can forced interaction with other passengers.
  4. The refreshment package isn't restricted like the alcohol package is.
  5. For a first time cruiser, don't get any dining package. Or the key, unless the price of it is nearly the same as the price for internet.
  6. There has always been a two shot requirement for anyone not eligible for the J&J vaccine. Nothing has changed regarding testing and vaccination since February.
  7. Well not specifically that app. But it's a popular 3rd party chat app that isn't tied to your cell phone carrier (and thus may not work all the time or at all on board ship)
  8. If you're offended by that I don't recommend watching the Love and Marriage game show
  9. Well the cruise industry relies on tourist traps.
  10. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that there are other things in the world besides covid that cause people to cough. And the crew masks because they have to, not because they want to.
  11. You can use your carrier's messaging if you have wifi calling enabled BUT it's no guarantee to actually work. You're better off with a 3rd party tool like Messenger or WhatsApp
  12. Get each person a wifi package on board and use WhatsApp. Simplest way to do what you want to do.
  13. I live at high altitude, so going to sea level I always get congestion and sore throats in the morning. But in the back of my head it's "well what if it's covid and someone rats me out for coughing"
  14. It's more guaranteed seating than reserved seating. And you don't need to ask the concierge about kid food stuff like that. CK (or MDR) can do that on demand since there is a kids menu.
  15. As long as the CDC requires such strict response to covid cases/suspected exposure, it' be like this,.
  16. Unlike covid, we don't count you a car accident death if you die within 30 days of being in a car accident.
  17. That's literally how the H1N1 pandemic ended. Obama called for the end of mass testing and they stopped reporting cases
  18. I've been trying to convince them to hire me and pay in cruise credits, but, alas no response.
  19. That error is typically your browser having problems, not the website itself.
  20. I'm not sure anything in the large ship, family-oriented cruise genre that can be beat by Star Class
  21. They have to reimburse you at least $12 per test. Some will reimburse you the whole thing if they don't have their own "in network" test availability.
