Yes, they still have paper and, IMHO, they are not going away anytime soon.

We’re up to 30 cruises and never had an issue bringing anything back on ship. Given most ports have local treats in port shops, it’s a given.

We always request before cruise as my DW has food allergies and we want to avoid possible cross contamination. This being said, quite frequently they did n’t heed this when doing the schedule. So, it is part of our regular routine to go MDR soon after boarding to make sure everything is straightened out. They always accommodate, just sometimes takes a little time.

We’ve done both. We’ll do the Bayonne Bahamas run for the ship and just the break. We do other trips (like Vision out of Dubai) for the itinerary.

Best wishes to you both.

I am truly sorry for your wife’s previous accident and hope she soon recuperates fully. However, your words “as a physician” - did you not evaluate your wife’s condition prior to going on a long drive, spending a day at Disney and expecting to get on a cruise for a few days with no issues? Royal’s present policy is well documented. Any culpability lies with you, an intelligent rational being.

Check out Carnival Celebration leaving from Miami on June 17 for 8 nights. Or, Celebrity Equinox leaving from Fort Lauderdale on June 24 also for 8 nights. Both go to Aruba and Curaçao. Good luck.

What month is your cruise? I did a quick search for Royal going to Aruba and most months there are multiple ships visiting. Exceptions being June and July when it’s only Mariner and August and October, when there are no scheduled stops. Good luck and happy anniversary!

When needed I’ve always used a digital copy in the wallet of my iPhone and have had no issues. We do always have a hard copy as well but have never needed.

You have to ask to have it applied each time.
