Royal drops testing

Ah, too bad.  Have a great trip.

[DaKahuna]

You too.  Wish we were sailing in December but by the time the wife decided she wanted to do another cruise before our Panama Canal transit in April, it was too late to get the room we wanted.

Yeah, all of the suites are gone.  However the balconies that are left are going cheap.  I am guessing it is not maxed out but is probably at near 100%.  Looking at balcony cabins, I think there were about 20 left.

When we booked our Feb 18 cruise we got the last Grand Suite on the ship.  I have seen one pop up a couple of times since then but none at a large enough price difference to make it worth the effort.

So that would explain why no one even asked to see our COVID test results when boarding Enchantment on 10/29/22😠

No, they are operating strictly on the honor system

Still taking our cards -- we have a holder that has passport and vaccine card slots.

Good, no one will ask to see them, but by all means take them.

 

Doesn't change the fact that Royal has "de facto" zero covid protocols.

We leave out of Galveston on 11/13 on the Allure. First cruse back since the Pandemic.

I'm a little confused on the the Wellness Check. Ours is a mid-afternoon time.

 Is this now the new Boarding check-in?  

Thanks in advance for any input on this.

We are on cruise now which includes Haiti , Columbia and Honduras. They never looked at our testing on boarding in Jersey on 10/27!

Yes...  this would be your arrival time for check-in. Highly doubt they will even look at your Vax doc as long as you completed the health questionnaire online

Yes, that is your check in time for boarding

I personally handle this as a shift to universal precautions. I assume covid is onboard every ship and it's up to me to avoid catching it. How important that is will vary from individual to individual. You will still see some passengers and crew masking by personal choice. I bring test kits, fever reducer, cough medicine, pulse ox and thermometer along just in case. I would not report to medical unless my pulse ox was low. There is no longer any obligation to isolate onboard but it would be nice if people who know or suspect they are positive to wear masks so people may want to pack an N95 just in case.
