You can do a name change and bring a friend.  Post lots of pics so your daughter will see what a great time you are having.

When you answer the question, is it for travel, it is still free?

Hey Tink, I just tried to schedule one for my upcoming cruise, I'm still a day early.  I checked off that it was for future travel, Walgreens, by the way.  As I answered the questions, I DO have a medical condition, I'm obese.  Maybe that is why mine is free?  I answered no symptoms.  Honestly, though, I could have answered muscle aches, honestly.  I'm 58, everything hurts.  My back kills me from the moment I get out of bed.  So, good luck.

That year we had a couple of good threads going.  The other one concerned a starfish and a shower.

Oh, God, that poor starfish!  And, the roommate didn't know her, they had agreed to split the cabin.  😁

But, more importantly, were the bananas in a bowl near the mustard and ketchup?

The form you fill out for test at both cvs and walgreens does not allow it to be free if it is for travel. Of course you can fib....

 

The short answer is no bc no one can get a covid test for travel for free.

In Virginia, you can.  Maybe it's a Florida thing.

Just off Odyssey Sunday October 31, 2021.  Did not receive a sheet to sign up in our suite as in the past.  Inquired at Guest Services and they told us they had not started up the program again.....yet.  She did not say when/if they would.  Hope that helps!

Quoting from another thread.

It was not being offered on Allure out of Port Canaveral back in September. I asked and they said they didn't feel it would be started back up again before November.  

Thanks for that, Ashley.  I'm on Harmony out of PC in two weeks and renting a scooter.  Hopefully, it will be up and running then.  Not having to deal with luggage that day would be wonderful.  I'll report back when I know unless someone else beats me to it.

Did you go to the spa at all? Trying to find out if they offer a Thermal Suite package. 

A different ship, but on my Harmony cruises, the package is in the Cruise Planner under Relaxation.  

Thanks for the great review.

Ok, didn't realize they could be done through TA vs purchasing those items directly thru RCL. Thanks!

Just make sure your TA pays Royal directly, not ABC Travel Agency.  Why not just go into your cruise planner and purchase these things?  It doesn't have to be one transaction for the offer.

Booked thru a TA. Final balance is $1300. Have the $1500 offer saved. What can be added thru a TRAVEL AGENT to bump it beyond $1500?

Gratuities, shore excursions, drink and dining packages.

Funny I've seen a lot of videos of cruises since restart and not a single steward or other crew member was walking around in a hazmat suit.  And, no one on here has said a word about it.

Allow me to introduce you to Laura from the Bronx.

It’s not so easy to find places that will give adults a test within 48 hours for results 

A small point, but, maybe it will help you.  It's 2 days , not 48 hours.  You can get tested at 1am on Friday for a cruise departing Sunday at 10pm.

I, naturally, received no such consideration. They have not dignified my e-mail with so much as a form letter response.

Each of my responses from Bayley's team took a few days, as well.  No worries.

Uncle Boo is on Anthem, same as Goldengirl...

Thank you for this wee report. 😜 I hope John is okay.

Where would they wash their hands?  Impractical.  
 

If only there was somewhere in each cabin with running water and soap.  Alas, maybe one day, we can dream...

You should see all of that in the RCI app. 

Is Royal having a contest to see who can ask the most questions in one day?  Especially ones easily answerable from the app or the website?  Asking for a friend. 😇

No and yes.

You just changed yesterday?  I'd give it a day or two.  Everything is messed up now.  

I feel your pain and couldn't resist clicking, what a headline!!  They can't explain what happened to my $1323 FCC.  It's just gone.  Do send a concise email to M Bayley, they're very good there.  They ended up giving me credit to replace the missing FCC.  Take a deep breath, send only the facts and see if they can help you.  Good luck and never say never, lol.

. I called and spoke to someone at loyalty who was very unclear and put me on hold for 30 minutes to find out whether I can talk to the Loyalty Ambassador on board if my Diamond isn't listed for cruise 2 - there are only 3 days between cruises.

Bring documentation of your first cruise, the points won't be added that quickly.  Bring it to the Loyalty Ambassador on board.  

You can test at home or the next day at CVS/Walgreens.

Her last post was in September 2020.  Maybe someone else can help?
