  1. There is a tab on the main screen marked Dining. Each days menus show there. Makes it easy to know if you want to go to MDR or not
  2. At 8:45.disembarkation would not even be over no way to board anyone. Still have not been turned away no matter when we arrive at 11:00
  3. In August with ArriveCAN we got through border crossing in seconds
  4. We mask mostly in crowded situations like elevators and crowded shows. When we are sitting at a bar, eating or playing slots we do not mask. We have always hated the buffet so all of our dinners are in MDR (club class) lunch usually out on deck for burgers but some times IC We did get covid last trip in August but think it was probably the MTP on the first leg of a b2b when we were seated with a couple we didn’t know. Sailing next week on the Ruby will probably play it by ear
  5. Just look at your travel summary at Princess website. If it doesn’t show there then talk to your TA. We always print a copy of the summary to avoid arguments with the casino regarding amount of free play
  6. By the way it is 15 drinks if you can stay awake. I usually stick to wine with meals, maybe a beer with lunch, manhattan’s pre dinner and Lynchburg Lemonade in the casino
  7. Like has anyone been asked to see a boarding time. I haven’t
  8. We got Paxlovid on board in August on the Royal. Pills cost $750 but the are also blood tests to rule out kidney issues and doctors fee. I paid just over $1,000. My health care provider reimbursed me when I returned
  9. If you wait for Princess to get the FCC’s to you it will take forever. We bugged our CVP who escalated it and it still took 2 months. In our case we had to quarantine in Canada per their laws Hotel and meals close to $5,000 and just got that back last week. Still waiting on checks for our casino winnings since you can’t cash out from isolation
  10. They can probably handle it since there are only a few of you. On the Royal it looked like most of port side Dolphin deck was filled
  11. This is way different from my experience on the Royal where we never heard from medical once we tested positive. Thrown into isolation with hundreds of others, Pilates of dishes pile up for days outside the cabin etc. probably due to how many were quarantined. There were so many of us that when we disembarked the line wound all the way around prom deck
  12. I doubt doctors would prescribe this without you having covid
  13. I would not try to track a zoom class on ships internet way to unreliable. It is fine to check on email and check news but I wouldn’t commit to beyond that. Giving up passports depends on itinerary. I have had to give them up on some transatlantic cruises depending on ports
  14. Paxlovid puts a real strain on livers and / or kidneys so they have to make sure it won’t make things worse
  15. We always test before boarding even if not required and take some tests with us and test if we feel I’ll. This is what we have always done since cruising restarted. Got covid on the Royal in August. Hope the antibodies and recent booster keep us safe next week on the Ruby
  16. Yes it will be cool. Yes like a trip to Hawaii
  17. Medical center will prescribe paxlovid but you will pay for blood tests, so called doctors visit (that means they looked at the blood tests and $750 for the pills. All told around $1,000 on your folio. I was able to get reimbursed by my Medicare advantage plan after getting home
  18. Yeah well we had the same mandate on the Royal in August and 95% of passengers totally ignored it. Princess did not even attempt to enforce it. I was one of hundreds who came down with covid and were quarantined. Princess later admitted to us that they had tried but gave up enforcement after passengers refused to comply
  19. We book several cruises a year through the casino department with free balconies upgrade to full suites and add Princess Plus never had an issue. You need to go through casino sales and get a manager if necessary
  20. They will all be unique no duplicates. I have only seen duplicated menus on cruises that can be booked as back to backs
  21. We were covid victims on the Royal in early September. It took forever to get off. They got everyone not on the covid deck off first and it was past noon when we actually got off. They didn’t want others to see us standing in a huge circle on prom deck
  22. There was one this past summer but be aware they pack about 150 people on the boat and it is shoulder to shoulder with few if any masks
