It is amazing to me that everywhere I go in my local area, no younger kids are wearing masks now for even indoor locations like grocery stores or in church.  For sure they are under 12 and not vaccine eligible.  Why are the parents taking a risk with Covid (particularly Delta)?  I suppose that some were previously Covid+ with natural immunity but definitely not all of them.  Just wondering what is happening on ships like EDGE with masks and children?  Being enforced?  What about shore excursions?  Unvaccinated kids are at risk and can bring the virus on board. They should at least be wearing masks.

The two kids that I saw today on the Edge get on an elevator with their father  did not have on masks.

I am currently on the Edge and it is my first cruise as Elite Plus thanks to the PUP program.  As expected, not much difference other then the extra bag of laundry.  

I have an October cruise that is scheduled to go north that I expect will just go south.  Time will tell.

My experience and others is that you get full points credit even with a downline disembarkation.

The one time I got off a day early on a Vancouver to Honolulu cruise I did get the point for the last day.

But Monarch and Sovereign carried more passengers. Plus they ended their careers doing two sailings a week. That's almost Oasis capacity on a weekly basis😉

Sovereign offered blocks for only one year.  Monarch offered blocks for six years.  Splendor offered blocks for nine years.  Legend Offered blocks for ten years.

Does anyone know what happens if the Royal Up is accepted and then the cruise gets canceled what happens to the money that was used for the upgrade? Would it be refunded back to the original payment or a FCC? TIA

That happened to me when COVID shut everything down.  The upgrade payment was credited back to my credit card.

Of those four ships, Legend would have the most blocks available.  Legend was in the Royal fleet the longest after the blocks started in 2007.

The 2019 Presidents Cruise had fireworks at COCO Cay.  It was very nice to watch.

Ovation is now east of Japan and sailing northeast.  Looks like she has started her trip to North America.

I am not as selective as you are.   I collect blocks for any ship for which I've sailed.  That opens the door for a nice variety for us.

I agree.  I trade my duplicates for ships that I have sailed.  I currently have 27 different ship blocks and I have sailed on each of those ships.

Good luck trading an existing ship block for Sovereign, Monarch, Legend, or Splendor.

 

Them's Gold

I guess I must be lucky. That is how I obtained a Legend and a Monarch block in 2019.

Ovation has started sailing north again.

Currently Ovation is sitting off of the coast of South Kores.

I just received my PUP points and it made me Elite plus.

Has anyone received any PUP's this time? I thought it was usually on the 14th. I hope I didn't spend so long on the Wellness thing for nothing!

Have not received anything yet.

Would love to see an updated picture.  I bet the Monarch is no longer recognizable.

3. Do Junior Suite guests have access to suite areas:benefits ? (breakfast at specialty, lounge access, amenities upgrades, etc.)

 

Only oasis class has CK. When I've done JS I was told you dont have lounge access. JS isnt supposed to get perks. Idk but on this class of ship, during covid, when they are doing social distancing, my guess is no. Same as usual, which is js doesnt get perks.

 

I have read space available on oasis class you can eat in ck, but that's all. 

 

Maybe when adventure gets back and some have actual experience with smaller capacity there will be perks idk. 

 

Quantum class also has CK.

Did five cruises on the Viking Serenade, and the last one was 21 years ago.  So looking forward to sailing out of San Pedro again.

Is the Ovation still near Singapore?

Will she be sailing transpacific with or without passengers to Alaska?

Our Singapore to Tokyo, Tokyo to Seattle was cancelled...sigh.

 

 

Right now Ovation is sailing north.  It is east of Shanghai and its current heading would take it between South Korea and Japan.

No e-mail from Royal, but when I log in my cruise has been changed to the Odyssey.  Also shows that I owe $377.  Will wait a couple of days to see if it corrects itself before I call.

Received a new invoice from Royal and now I owe zero.  Glad to see that everything worked out for my 8/14 cruise.

People have been getting offers for some time.

Had not seen any Royal Up postings about CDC approved cruises sailing from the US in July 2021.

Just received a Royal Up offer for my July 2021 Freedom cruise.    They are back.
