@BirdTravels I heard that there will not be a separate suites pre-boarding area. True? 

I don't think Suite people is a priority right now. Got other issues to worry about before them.

Cannot wait for August 14th.  Thank you  so much for posting, looking forwards to your reports

The Captain of Operations for the fleet welcomed passengers foe the first voyage of the Adventure of the Seas out of Nassau

 

[BirdTravels]

Shortly after 11:00, checkin opened. Pinnacle Club members were invited to check in first followed by suites. 
 

This week only, you had to Register and take a COVID test

Looks organized

[BirdTravels]

This week, the checkin area was  only using 1/2 the ballroom (the other half was a holding area until you passed (or failed your COVID test). For the first groups, there was a clap-out for each person getting their negative test results and allowed to exit to the shuttles. 
 

Check in was fast and efficient. Check and photograph your vaccine card. Check and photograph your passport. Sign a waiver that you understand the risk of Covid.

Are they doing the bracelet tracing thing? Are you already on the ship , if not what stage are you in now?

@BirdTravels,

 

Thank you for this excellent live cruise journal. So interesting to see the stuff we've been reading about the last few weeks materialize before our eyes. 

 

Have a wonderful cruise and looking forward to following along.

No

Mini buses take you from the “terminal” to the port.

Enjoy your cruise and following along.

Have fun and thanks for taking us along. The port looks to be finally getting some much needed TLC. Safe travels.

The ship patiently awaits the return of guests. All crew at their stations, each with a button with their un-masked face. And we are so happy to see that it is Saturday

Spectacular, she looks just as beautiful as when I left her in Dec. 2019.

Let me amend my response. No Teacelet. The ship has been outfitted with a facial recognition system (especially in dining rooms and show venues.) The system monitors close contact between anyone and will be used to contact trace in the event of an outbreak.

That is awesome, so glad we don't have to wear them!

This is great!  Thanks for the posts.  Did anyone see any wheelchairs at the hotel for check in or at the pier?

So happy to see a live review again!  Hope you have a splendid cruise -- we are all with you in spirit!

Thanks for the posts, excited to be following along!  It looks like the buffet is self-serve. I thought they'd have crew plating your food - ?
