We did.

 

I'm vplsh's sister (and travel professional).  We got assigned Deck 7 starboard aft earlier today, and then this evening got a totally different reservation number with a new cabin assignment (Deck 8 port on the hump).  I had heard that there were people getting their cabin assignments changed but to get a totally new reservation number was odd.  We had to do the check in all over again, and now have two Set Sail passes in our app.  Maybe third time will be the charm!

I heard we just check into the one we want and the other will cancel.   Somehow it checked me into both but my husband is only on the one.  It will work out! Where are y’all coming from?

We're coming from Georgetown, about a 4 hour drive, so Janet is picking me up at 7 and we'll be on our way!

Yeah, we're just measly D+.  😉

Yeah we feel the pain. We signed up for some of the test cruise but same status as you and so not holding our breath. We are on the 8/15 Independence cruise so hope they don't fail the test cruise.

One question for those on the test cruise. If possible could you get a picture of the list of venues that are vaccinated and none vaccinated. I have seen this for other ships and don't know if they are fleet wide or ship specific. We are traveling with a under 12 year old and would like to take him out to specially dinning one night but wondered what is available. Looking forward to hearing your comments, enjoy the cruise.

Chops and Giovanni are both available for everyone. Izumi is vaccinated only.

Unlike Ovation, there is a charge for everything at Fish & Ships. But it's a very small charge.

Very small is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks, sad about Izumi, we have a 7 year old who would have loved this experience. Guess we will have to schedule a Johnny Rockets night with him.
