help with proctored Covid test
Oceansaway17 replied to xray0111's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I used to do CVS too until they changed. but not all Walgreens does quick tests. At least they allow reservations 7 days in advance. I do not know why CVS can not do free tests when Walgreens can. If government has pulled funding you would think then Walgreens would not be free either. I am unsure of proctured ihealth as opposed to emed. -
Paper copies makes for faster boarding in NJ. just answer health questions and take photo of vaccination card. Oh and if tomorrow if it keeps saying verifying card, just know all is fine in port. they will see it at their end and show printout of tests but do take real vaccinations card as well. never had to pull it out but good to have. So let’s us all know what all you had to deal with at port for both Bermuda and Canada and how things went for both. I mean lucky you having to deal with both as opposed to doing Caribbean

Hey Roy good to see you on RCI. I am D+ as of last cruise on Symphony in jr suite getting 42 points (triple). You are brave dealing with Bermuda. I had two reservations for ADV but canceled the Bermuda one and kept the New Eng/Canada one for late Aug. Dealing with ArrCan feels easier than dealing with Bermuda. And no $40 either. I am looking forward to your story and photos and Safe drive to NJ and heat wave.

help with proctored Covid test

Yes and yes. Walgreens is good for now but I bought emed as backups. may the testing soon just go away I hope. -
And in the theatre too.

Yea I love watching type A folks trying to survive cruising and those with energetic kids are a hoot. Some folks take “getting your money’s worth” too serious. Ships like air planes are great for people watching.

I understand your point of view. most MDR do escort the first night. Perhaps they were short staffed that day. in regards to dessert, I have for last 6 years just waited a little while and then walked to WJ to select my own dessert so I can see what it looks like and try some others too. For the most part,I only do MDR once then just specialty or WJ. I no longer enjoy MDR like I did 15 or so years ago as I now just want to eat and read and leave.

been exposed but negative test?
Oceansaway17 replied to feenix's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Yes I agree. Only so much tracing can be done because people are on the move. -
Hmm I guess I have more surprises coming.

Odyssey of the Seas Dec 17-22 Cancelled
Oceansaway17 replied to TravelMommyof2's topic in Royal Caribbean International
well they can't blame the Wonder OTS as she will be up in Port Canaveral. Guess FLA is too busy for it's own good and need to send a few ships to Tampa or other places. -
A dining nightmare on allure..
Oceansaway17 replied to smeck's topic in Royal Caribbean International
my time dining was a mess on Symphony as well 2 weeks ago. Most folks in line gest 6;45 was too late. But they were using the dining room after the 5:15 early diners. to me My time dining is not being handle the way it was intended when NCL created a few years ago. But I also notice that each night the buffet got busier and busier. I say this all the time, buffet is the place to go and less air conditioning too. -
agree but then some of them have large debt to repay. I think masking on ships inside should be mandatory for a few more months too. Sure wish I could turn back the clock a few years when sailing was enjoyable. Right now some are doing it while then can and others are venturing out to see how it goes, and then a lot of us are just watching and waiting. toodles

never said travel was a requirement. Travel does need to be safer, and ships could keep numbers down for a few more months and planes could ask folks to continue to wear masks. Things are on the rise because protocols have loosened up and it is having results that make folks rethink their plans. Meanwhile lots of folks on TA on various cruise lines now are dealing with over seas isolation. Once the airlines removed mask mandates, then ease up on flying back into USA. I know I have kept trips to departing from USA ports.

Beware of going to Europe from the US
Oceansaway17 replied to ILOVESHIPS's topic in Royal Caribbean International
that is why I keep looking at my 2018 and 2019 European cruises to Norway and Baltics and then to Canaries. so glad I did them and hope to get back. -
Oh wow you have never done AK. I have sailed 4 times. It is a wonderful place and each port has so much to do. You must go and any cruiseline is good like HAL or yes RCI. Even NCL on Bliss with huge observation lounge. If you go sail first from Seattle. Then go back and sail from Vancouver 1 way and do land tour. hurry now times is a wasting. Of course you will have to sit the dog down and explain

Beware of going to Europe from the US
Oceansaway17 replied to ILOVESHIPS's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Yes I would have the same dumb luck too. I know we all have to try to be honest as best we can, but I think avoiding Europe right now is best to avoid getting stuck and not being allowed to come home to my own country. Just would be awful feeling not to mention hearing the words “we told you so”
