Is the Chef's Table still available on the Caribbean Princess?  If so, how are reservations made these days?  Thanks.

Are reservations needed for shows on Oasis, if so, how do you book once onboard?  Thanks!

Does it have a seal with a QR code on the box or sleeve that says do not open? If so, you should still be good. 

Yes it does have a seal and a sleeve stating not to open.

Lower left corner of the box. 

Thanks for the image.  My boxes definitely do not have.  Perhaps I should be concerned, but I purchased from the link on the Royal Caribbean website.  I think the link took me to the Optimum website to purchase.  The package even included a letter with a Royal Caribbean heading.  Also the boxes and enclosed information do indicate that a live online proctor is required.  All this testing stuff is definitely confusing, yet many people do seem to be working it out and cruising every week seemingly without issues.  Thank you for sharing.

Sailing on the Oasis later this month, due to Covid restrictions are they doing formal nights?  Just want to pack accordingly.  Thank you.

You have to buy online via emed.  The box must say RX.  

Where on the box does it say RX?  I purchased via Optum with emed telehealth services from the Royal Caribbean website and I can't find where it says RX on the box.

Does anyone know/remember if the MIA Car Rental Center have taxi available?  Or Ride Share? Need to take a taxi to cruise pier after returning car.  Hoping not to have to take rental bus back to airport just to take a taxi.  Thank you for your help and information.

Are reservations being taken for shows on the Oasis?  I just booked last night for a November sailing, switching from the Jewel to the Oasis.  My switched reservation looks good on the App and website, but not able to pick shows. Website says to check back later or book on board.  Wondering if something is not yet complete in the ship switch on my booking preventing me from booking shows, or if shows are already closed out, or maybe reservations are not being accepted due to Covid restrictions?  What am I missing?  Appreciate your help and information.  Thank you.

We already ordered and used tests for September cruise and it had Expiry date 10/05/2021

(produced on 02/08/21). Which was extended by 3 months.

 

Now we ordered more tests for our Thanksgiving & Christmas cruises.

New tests have earlier expiry date 09/21/2021 (produced on 01/25/2021). So they are extended only to 12/21/2021

They will be good for Thanksgiving, but one day too early for Christmas cruise 12/24/2021  😞

 

Not sure why they are sending older tests, but they do! So do not rush with ordering tests

Where did you find the expiration date?  I just received mine and I'm not able to identity any expiration date. Thank you.

Did you get the PCR test or Rapid Antigen test?

For those who might have recently returned from their cruise out of Fort Lauderdale or Miami, if you arrived Florida a few days early, were did you have your Covid test taken?  Thank you.

For my Freedom Cruise a few weeks ago, I had scheduled testings Plans A, B, C and D. Luckily, Plan A panned out, was free of charge and I got my results in a few hours, so I cancelled B, C and D. I had heard from too many people on this forum not to rely on one or even two test appointments. Testing appointments seem to have become more scarce and unreliable lately. 

Where did you get your Covid test taken?

Anyone getting their Covid test in Florida before the cruise?  We're flying in two days early on Friday morning for a Sunday cruise departure.  Since the test is only valid 72 hrs, and the day before our departure to Florida, West Palm Beach airport is Thanksgiving, that means we'll have to get our test done after we arrive on Friday morning.  Was wondering if anyone else might be in the same situation and where are you getting your test done?  If you live in Florida, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, or Miami areas, where do you recommend for getting the test?  Thanks!

Has anyone purchased Covid travel health insurance?  Where to buy?  Thanks.

Is Princess doing CDC testing cruises and how do you sign up?  Thanks.

Booked a cruise in November 2021.  I realized when I paid my deposit that the cruise could end up being canceled.  And, I see that some 2021 cruises have been canceled.  Sailing on the Jewel of the Seas which is currently sailing in Greece.  At what point would you feel confident that the Jewel will actually sail out of Miami in November?  Just curious.  Thanks!

Where is the pier location where royal Caribbean docks?  Thanks.

Which is better or what's the difference between the Conch Train and the Trolley?  Thanks.

I was wondering if there's a fee for lunch in the specialty restaurants such as Giovanni's or the others?  Are reservations required for lunch?  Will be sailing on the Jewel of the Seas.  Thanks.

Thank you for your reply, the carts to sound like fun.  Is it easy to find parking, say for going to the Hemingway house, or other attractions?  Thanks so much.

What options, if any are available to get from the Cruise Pier to Hemingway House?  I know it's easily walkable, but one of my travelers is 82 and I'd like to minimize her walking, especially in the heat and humidity.  So are taxi or Uber available.?  Also, I'm aware of the hop on hop off trolley, but it would be easier to just catch some other ride.  Anyhow, appreciate all information and help.  Thanks so much.

Just wondering if people are making upcoming final payments considering the cruise could end up being cancelled?  If I have a non refundable deposit, then I don't think I can cancel and get a refund if I have a concern about the cruise being eventually cancelled.  But it just seems odd or unwise to pay the final payment if it's likely to get cancelled.  So wondering what others are doing regarding their final payment?

Thanks so much for your information.

Where in Quebec would Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas dock/pier be located?  The ship is to spend one night in Quebec, and I'd like to know if there is an exact location for where the Vision of the Seas will be docked.

Thank

Where can I find current Jewel of the Seas Dining Room menus?  Thank you.

I have a GTY/Guarantee cabin booked out of Rome on Jewel of the Seas in about 40 days.  Any experience as to when Royal Caribbean starts to issue cabins to those with GTY cabins?

Thanks!
