    Like has anyone been asked to see a boarding time. I haven’t

    And maybe clarify what they mean as guest laundry

    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

    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

    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

    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

    I doubt doctors would prescribe this without you having covid

    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

    Paxlovid puts a real strain on livers and / or kidneys so they have to make sure it won’t make things worse

    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

    Yes it will be cool. Yes like a trip to Hawaii

    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

    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

    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

    They will all be unique no duplicates. I have only seen duplicated menus on cruises that can be booked as back to backs

    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

    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
  18. memoak
    The portions are not very large or at least they were not in the past. I will see if things have changed next week on the Ruby
  19. memoak
    Texting should work just fine
  20. memoak
    You can charge chips to your stateroom account. No fees
  21. memoak
    I cannot even imagine eating dinner before 7:30 even at home
  22. memoak
    Is this a cruise of mostly Australian and Kiwi passengers ? I am wondering if they have less anti bodies since very few probably got covid due to lock downs
  23. memoak
    There is no “traditional” dining on Princess. It sounds like you made arrangements on board. This may not be possible on all cruises
  24. memoak
    You can still play but in my opinion it is a diluted product with the advent of tablets where people play tons of cards at a time and the tablet tells them when they win

    What web site doesn’t track people who log on. Very important data
