not-enough-cruising

Was it a Dyson straightener?

That's what i thought, I found the post about Oasis class confusing

Are Oasis class ships able to transit the Panama canal?

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/the-healthy-sail-center?icid=hlthys_wrnssn_hlt_nbrdxp_pghdr_3467 Right here, along with the updated testing protocols, it clearly states that all guests age 12 and over must be vaccinated for North American embarkations. Had vaccination protocols changed, it would have been posted here along side the new testing procedures. There are reports on CC from a prominent travel agent member having this information confirmed by Royal Caribbean. I am sure things will continue to evolve; Royal has eluded to another announcement the week of August 14, but we will all just have to wait and see.

The link you post is an article on an unofficial Royal fan site (I love the site don’t get me wrong) After this was posted, Royal made the official announcement that no changes to vaccine requirements would be made at this time, only testing was modified. Matt even addresses this on his blog in another posting, commenting on the change in course with the vaccine requirements. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

It is right behind mine from November waiting to be shipped.

RCL does not administrate the Royal Up process, it is a 3rd party.

I would go to GS and cancel the package, get an OBC, and buy some pictures a la carte

You never gained points, it was OBC. $50 if memory serves correctly (that is debatable lately). I haven't seen that offered in many years, however.

The cruise lines have absolutely zero input on this, and wouldn’t think of weighing in on it.

Assume you will have to test until you are told you won’t.

It was a very valid post, appropriate to the interests of those on this (Royal) board.

AS of this moment, there has been no change to Royal’s vaccine requirements; don’t put down a deposit yet.

We had maps delivered to our cabin on Harmony a couple weeks ago, as well as being inundated with them at the bottom of the escalator as we were disembarking.

It looks VERY clear to me on the healthy sailing section of the website. People are confusing the issue by continuing to refer to some unofficial Facebook posts and other internet chatter.

MB stated this in his Facebook page DAA us ago. when protocols were updated last night, they decided to NOT to update vaccine requirements at this time. Vaccine still required for age 12 and over.

Yeah, the folks at the call center are always right. no one has ever showed up and been denied boarding based on information from the call center. The OFFICIAL policy statement (updated last night) is on the web site, and does not match the information you were given

They haven’t updated that part because they are NOT updating that part. For obvious reasons you refuse to see the reality. Testing and ONLY testing protocols have been tweaked. Vaccine protocols remain as they have been, until the next update in the coming weeks. I don’t know why you keep bringing up that ships have had unvaccinated on them; we all know that. Predominately unvaccinated children, that pool has NOT been expanded with this announcement.

It is my understanding that nothing has changed for European embarkation

The updated protocols, if you continue to scroll down on the website, clearly states “all passengers over the age of 12 are required to be fully vaccinated”. NOTHING has changed with regards to vaccine requirements.

Unvaccinated CHILDREN

It varies from sailing to sailing and on what is available when the ships stock themselves

Wait until closer to your embarkation date. Your cruise docs will update, and will have a new luggage tag along with it.

The rules for air passengers and the rules for cruise passengers have oftentimes been different throughout this saga.

Likely to change with this week’s announcement of updated protocols. Carnival has already dropped the PCR requirement for unvaccinated
