Tried to search this but I guess I'm not using a phrase that the search logic understands
Anyway...question, I took the option to have RCL assign my cabin. When the sea passes were available there was no cabin still assigned. There was a deck only. I did find the hack to read the bar code with Google lens app and there is a cabin number there. The luggage tags are now available, and nothing printed on them. Is that really the assigned cabin and could they change? I want to write the number on the tags and my TA just said don't worry the tag color will get it to the correct deck but without a cabin number just don't want them sitting around. 18 days to cruise.
Thanks

I turn mine off and put it away.

Has anyone had luck printing the approved Bermuda Travel Authorization form? It keeps cutting off the initials/timestamp (and not even printing them on the second page).
I printed what I could and they can look at my email in my phone to see what I see.

How long before your cruise did you receive the approved Travel Authorization from the Bermuda Gov't?
I'm cruising 8/18 and just got Approved Authorization today.

Got that right Mom!

CDC just released cruise lines from their imposed protocols. All Line can now just create and enforce their own. I sail August 18th so hope Royal drops this testing.

I'm on a cruise in mid-August. I wanted to make my time res but couldn't. I paid final payment with my future credits recently and BAM I could make res.

It is actually pretty disgusting. RCI has made this a painless as possible. I don't understand why guests can't reciprocate and make it easy for the ship.
On our cruise in September there were a number of people that did do the very easy muster process. They kept calling them on the PA by name. We were delayed leaving for over 1/2 hour until they showed up and complied.

We sailed 9/12 on the Oasis. Never made a reservation in the windjammer. They make you scan your card to keep a count to make sure they don't exceed a pre determined capacity. Never had a problem. One problem that made eating there a pain was since both vacced and unvacced can eat there they "social distanced" to an extreme and made finding a place to sit a struggle. If the ship had more passengers this would have been a nightmare but we were 2400 in a ship that holds 6000. I think they went over board. I saw maybe 3 adults without the blue bracelet and there was only a hand full of kids. Everyone is tested so more tables please,

this is interesting. im booked on oasis, wondering if i should take off the bracelet and sit in the empty unvax DR? im doing my time and i wouldn like to be seated 1 ft from my neighbor. if i wanted that id be seated at the suite restaurants on celebrity 🙂 or club suite dining on princess. that type of seating really irritates me and really, who wants my butt going across their table as i shimmy between tables to get to the back.. if i wanted to sit with others, id get a 'normal' MDR table.
We sat at a table in a more active part of the dining room...on purpose. We actually could and did speak on occasion to the people next to us. We didn't become BFFs just a few pleasantries. I usually chose the side of the table that required me to pass between the space separating our tables. I didn't need to present my butt to either table. There was space for me to pass between facing forward. We want that table and enjoyed. There are many tables you can be seated at that will separate further if you wish. Since the ship is not even half full I'm sure they can meet your table requirements. True.. also I'm sure there was plenty of space in the un vacced dining on other floor.

I'm curious to know how things are being handled in the casino regarding covid protocols? We sail on the Ovation on Friday and I'm trying to get an idea before we go. Are masks required? Do they still allow smoking? Is there any social distancing on the tables? I've been given different information from each Casino Royale call center rep I've spoken to. If you don't mind sharing details, I'd sure appreciate it! Hope you have a fabulous cruise and that the casino is VERY Radio friendly!
We sailed on Oasis 9/12. Casino....masks were not required but if you wish to wear one feel free. There was no "social distancing" can't really expect in a Casino that small. Good news over 99% of passengers were vaccinated and EVERYONE had a negative covid test. Staff can not leave ship...only in coco cay. They do allow smoking. Half the casino is non smoking but that does not totally help

We were o the Oasis ..the 9/12 sailing. They hustled everyone off as fast and early as possible. We were in no hurry so sign up for a 8:30 disembark. By 7:40 our number was called. When we went to pick up our luggage most were already gone and the parking garage there was not very traffic.

Due to health concerns, when (if) we cruise on Anthem in March, we will not choose to sit with others as we have usually done. Has Royal changed its allocation of small tables because of Covid?
Just cruised on the Oasis. You show your vaccination card, EVERYONE has to be tested no earlier than 2 days before departure and you get and must where a proof bracelet. Un- vacced people ( and there were hardly any) eat in their own dining room. Staff are tested weekly and were only aloud off ship in Coco Cay. So, if you don't feel safe the ship you can't feel safe anywhere.

Many bad things happen with a little idea it is a tip of the ice berg. How about a chip in your hand so you can be traced , your medical info and other medical compliance info can be accessed and can be used to purchase anywhere like on a cruise? Sound great? Careful.

You realize fully vaccinated people can get covid and give it to other people, too? It's nonsensical to treat unvaccinated kids like they're the only possible source of covid spread. It doesn't matter where you go on the ship. If you're on the ship and someone has it, you could get it. That's the risk we all take when we get onboard.
Small risk given EVERYONE is tested and 99.7 percent are vaccinated and crew can't leave the ship and they are tested weekly. More risk driving to the local coffee shop.

Welcome to the Oasis of the Seas! We made the torturous 100 mile ride from Central CT to Bayonne to start our adventure!
It’s a beautiful almost Fall day ! We are in a Crown Loft, our second time.
I’ll try to answer questions along the way, anybody else on board feel free to chime in. Here are a few shots of Manhattan from our balcony, with Last Liberty in the foreground. Sailaway is at 5PM.

We had a suite for the first time and the bartenders in the lounge were very nice. they would serve us any drink we wanted all day long...tell MC John and Raj Michael and Brenda said hello
We just got off too...they hustled us off pretty quick. We picked 8:15 disembark and they call our number at 7:40. There was some positives of a 2300 passenger count but it was sometimes like a ghost town. Go have a drink at the Opuis bar. It's hidden at he entrance of the MDR on deck 3. Julius is the bartender and very nice to sit and chat with.

I'm not doing the bar crawl thing either. My time to board is 12:30 - 1 pm. I plan on getting there at 12:30. Where will you be hanging out after you board?
Hey..probably walk around awhile...been on this ship before but want to check it out, drop our stuff off in cabin. How about on deck 15 at Lime and Coconut bar at 4:00ish? (time flexible). I'm wearing my Eagles shirt with an Eagles Marti Gras Beads. Patricia will have her Pink Eagles hat and beads as well (it's NFL Opening Day). 6 Days to go!!!

Hi - I would love to meet up with you, if not for dinner at some other time. Right now I have 5:30 dining, I am wait listed for My Time Dining. Once on board I'm going to see if I can be switched. I mad reservations for Solarium Bistro on the first night because I want to watch sailaway and of course, 5:30 dining would intefere with that. And of course, I'm vaccinated as we have to be! Are you on the Sept 12 roll call or the FB group for the cruise?
Hey ..yes on the roll call but not doing the bar crawl thing...We have a 1:00 embark time and will be milling about. Let me know if you want to hook up for cocktails and pre sail away chill.

Life is hard. Go...Don't go. The wait is not bad and I'm sure you can handle it. When you reboard go to the pool and have a drink.
