Did they give a reason for the changes? No, but it’s a nicer cabin. Front of ship, under bridge with huge picture window. Had the exact lunch, but had watermelon too...lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some tried to board early and were put into a very long line. Pretty Miserable standing and waiting to board in the rain. Those of us who showed up at the designated time walked right through! 2. ArriveCAN IS NOT required by Royal. They didn’t even check my QCR. 3. They do check vaccination and pre-boarding Negative COVID tests carefully and take pics of both. Since you boarded in Vancouver you would have to have completed the ArriveCan to arrive in Canada. Because of that there would not be a reason to verify the ArriveCAN before boarding. Next weeks cruise departing Seattle should require the ArriveCAN be completed and I will be complete it like a good cruiser. 😇 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted May 5, 2022 #181 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Seriously people, go do the Muster. 400 at 3pm is ridiculous. It’s so easy now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All announcements state as much. Bartenders take your sea pass, and if you haven’t completed the muster brief, they re ind you to do it, and then tell you to come back for a drink after (and yes, I heard a bartender tell a passenger exactly that). We’re moving! On time. That’s a good way to get muster briefing completed! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted May 5, 2022 Author #186 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Luggage arrived and Royal has sent me a bunch of invites so they can hang with me…. 😉 -Top Tier Event -Diamond Lounge -4 free drinks/day -Concierge Service for booking restaurants and excursions -OBC…seems to be some confusion between what they say they’re giving me and what shows up in my account, though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-H-B Posted May 6, 2022 #190 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Aww seeing these photos is nostalgic, it's been over 2 years since I was onboard Ovation, and 8 months still to wait til she takes me to New Zealand. Keep these pics coming! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted May 6, 2022 Author #191 Share Posted May 6, 2022 MDR…had late seating. Forget about it! Got there 15 mi it’s early. The line to be seated had literally hundreds (yes, you read that right) waiting. Not sure what’s happening. Probably the worst I’ve seen on any cruise, any cruise line, any itinerary. Ended up at the Windjammer. No lines. Good food. Made new friends where we had cocktails and made lemon aid out of lemons over the dinner situation. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, yesterday we got a letter from RC welcoming us onboard today! Not sure where to board. 😂 Talk about early boarding! Enjoy the cruise! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
