grahaminca Posted October 16, 2021 #227 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Do you know if Royal Caribbean on board the Symphony of the Seas conduct a free Covid PCR test prior to disembarking for international travellers returning home to Canada?

SE fla Posted October 16, 2021 #229 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Are you from OHIO? I will have my mom with me on the Symphony from PARMA. She’s 92 and did the first transatlantic on the Symphony. The SYMPHONY OF THE SEAS is her favorite ship. She enjoyed your cruise so much and can’t wait for November 20th for her cruise. Thanks so much you made mom smile. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much you made mom smile. When very young we lived down the street, Brecksville, but mainly grew up in Medina. The week before on Symphony we ate at the specialty dinners. They were all really good. The only thing I didn’t like was the whole lobster stuffed with crab at Hooked. They quickly replaced it with 2 lobster tails that were really good and offered us all more lobster tail if we wanted. They said they are having a hard time getting good crab right now. Chops is always good. First time at Izumi and Jamie’s. You will love them both if you like that kind of food. Wonderland was fun.

There is no charge for those needing a test for travel or moving to another ship that day or the next day. Contact Guest Services to sign up for it. That give you the test the last full day of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard about Canadians paying for them. I know of 2 Canadians who have sailed recently and one has just boarded a ship again today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted October 17, 2021 Author #235 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Good morning from Fll. we decided to spend the day here yesterday any fly home today. Went to dinner at Coconuts. Great food. It is something. Came back to hotel and showered and started watching the news. Next thing I knew it was 5am. I will post some closing thoughts when I get home. But. One thing that did amaze me at customs. There were only 2 custom agents to take care of those that were red flagged on facial recognition. When “ A” and me had our encounter. That only left one. There were about 10 people waiting in that line. Thanking God I was first. Moral of story. Make sure you have a later flight in case You win a jackpot. More thoughts when we get home. Stay healthy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ordered our drinks and the bartender was very nice. Are there any bars you can actually sit at and have a couple of drinks ? Also was rising tide operating ?

Ocean Boy Posted October 17, 2021 #245 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Since there seems to be a lot if interest, it could be nice for Guest Services to have a sign where they post the number each week much like they do up on the bridge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahaminca Posted October 17, 2021 #246 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Thanks for the feedback...We just returned from an Equinox cruise 3 weeks ago and occupancy was at 30%, approximately 988 passengers, so a better increase of passengers on this cruise..which only leads to a better atmosphere on such a large ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
