As we entered the first step was to take pictures of our vaccine cards. At that step they also chose a some to be tested. Not us. Then it was upstairs to security and normal check in. Then on to the ship. We have white bracelets, no tracelets. As mentioned WJ lunch was a step up. We need to scan in and out of the WJ. At dinner they said we could scan QR code for menu. The did provide real menu when I told him my battery was dead. As I was exploring the ship it felt like turnaround day on a b2b and we were waiting for the new pax. I heard there are 100 pinnacles. At the show it there were a number of first time Royal and first time cruisers, I assume travel agents. Solarium Bistro will not open on this voyage. There will be simulated SL tonight. I do not know how many are invited, they may have more than one. Internet is a bit slower than in the Caribbean. My issue last night was a dead battery. Yesterday it was 90 degrees in Seattle. Last night we started hearing the fog horn. A bit cooler today, fog horn still sounding. Battery management is a big issue for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistshar Posted August 1, 2021 #57 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Does anyone know the earliest appointment time for getting one the ship? We are booked on the Ovation in April 2022 and we are trying to figure out if we will have to find something to do after we leave the hotel before we can go to the ship.

Today we participated in what the invitation called a Suite Lounge Simulation. Social distancing was practiced. Masks when moving around. Could not share tables unless linked. Empty tables between occupied ones. Appetizers dished my staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefchick Posted August 1, 2021 #65 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Is there entertainment on this cruise? What about things like trivia, piano bar or pub entertainment? Is masking required in the theater? Masking in the restaurants and bars (meaning can you remove once seated or do you have to remark between sips and bites). Appreciate any info on these practical ship life daily events. I realize it might be different on paying passenger sailings but… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it might be different on paying passenger sailings but… I'm booked for the first paying cruise August 13th and the earliest seemed to be 12:00 for those not in a Suite. I'm not sure but I think 11:30 will be the earliest check in time but only if you are in a suite. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
