All of my bids have changed to submitted. Everything but SOVB can be modified.

Has anyone else had a circumstance where you can modify all but one bid? We're in a balcony and my kids are across the hall in an inside. My 21yo son wasn't positive if he could go so we put them there in case my younger daughters were alone. They're both under 21. Once we knew he could go I bid on every category available. But once I bid I wasn't able to modify for a Spacious Balcony but I can modify everything else. It stinks because the only category currently available for a party of 3 is a spacious ovb. I would increase the bid if I could. I originally only bid a little more than minimum.

That's good to hear. When we sailed in May it was just one long line.

I'll have to see what time it is. We may be cutting it close to keep the rental under 24 hours.

That's good to know. We're dropping off a rental next Saturday. Maybe we can drop off luggage first.

Yes. There are long lines because people don't adhere to their times and show up when it's convenient for them. Like you're planning on doing. I sailed on Harmony in May I showed up at 11:25 for an 11:30 check in. I ended up waiting for over an hour because no one as checking times. It's very frustrating. If you don't want to wait, switch the check in time to the latest available.

That's the same thing that is on the website. It says starting 7/25 testing isn't required in certain ports. But the list says it is required for Miami

From the US? The website still says that is required from Miami.

Where did you read that NCL is stopping testing for cruises from the US? Their website still says that testing is required. ETA Actually Azamara and Viking websites also still state that testing is required from the US. Do you have a link?

Is that a recent change? They used to be covered and it still says that they're covered on RCCL website.

Deleted . Misread

Mine all changed to submitted too. I guess this is something new. Cruise is 10 days out.

I haven't seen any. I drink a lot of seltzer. On my last cruise I drank Dasani Sparkling water from the freestyle machine and bottles of Pellegrino.

That's what I do. Pick a boarding and go back at another time for everything else. And the last 2 times I checked in it didn't actually open until 12:10 or 12:15.

The same thing happened to my husband but eventually they caught on. LOL. He had 4 more points than the rest of the family for years. He hit Platinum before the rest of us. Then after we sailed on Harmony in May his point total only went up 3, so now we're equal. I have no idea where those points came from or how they finally figured it out.

Are the rooms identical types with the same amount of people? It has nothing to do with booking one room and adding a second. It sounds like the first room that you booked didn't have an Guarantees available, but it was an option for the second room. I don't look at it as them charging a fee to pick my room. I look at it as a discount if I choose not to pick my own room.

Me too. I actually preferred it years ago before the slide, zipline, cabanas, Barefoot Beach Club...

When I checked in for Harmony for a May cruise it was 11am. I checked in 2 weeks ago0 for Mariner and it was 10:30am.

You can keep trying. I didn't receive an email at all for my last 2 cruises. I was able to bid at 90 days out for one and 45 for the other. I just kept checking until it worked.

I sailed on Carnival Mardi Gras in the Fall. We had to watch a video on our stateroom tv and then go to our muster station.

Funny, I was going to say the CD doesn't matter to me unless it's a horrible one, like John Blair. LOL What you like is what I disliked. He makes it all about himself. Different strokes.

Yes that how it is for my sailing. If I select 1 device it's 20% off, 2 is 35%, 3 is 40%, 4 is 50%. The email I received said "up to 50% off".

I'd be more worried about being packed like sardines with other guests in On Air over locals in Labadee. You're outside and you don't have to go near them if you don't want to.

I received an email on 9/21/21 about 12 and up needing to be vaccinated. I'm not sure if it was the first email that was sent but it's the only one that I can find. Yes the TA definitely should have notified the OP. I just don't understand how anyone with a vacation planned doesn't check to see if protocols have changed in the last 10 months.

Yeah, he thought it was on beforehand but it didn't work on either cruise.
