Here’s what I have.

I have some of them! Our attendant left paper for us. I’ll need to dig them out. Are you looking for something in particular?

We just left Harmony on Saturday ☹️. We were able to have a nice meal at Sabor while waiting for our cabin to open. I didn’t check other restaurants but I think Chops is reserved for The Key on boarding day?

I’m cruising with you! I can’t wait!

First, I’m sorry those people made awful comments! I just can’t understand such hateful behavior. Second, how cool to see an Aranet in the wild! We use one to try for an educated guess on where we can eat indoors although we generally avoid it all together. We are cruising later this month and I plan to bring it along. I’ve been impressed that my work office is typically under 550ppm. Thanks for sharing your cruise with us. I hope you have a great trip.

Welcome to Dallas! You got stuck here with some gorgeous weather, at least. Safe travels!

Thanks for the clarification and follow up!! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the review! We are heading out on Harmony next month. I’m disappointed to hear about Chops. We booked Unlimited Dining but I wonder if it is worth it? Did you try Jaime’s or Izumi?

I haven’t cruised since 2019 but am heading out soon and appreciate this reminder! Apparently this impacts women more commonly (lucky us). I started taking Bonine the last night of the cruise and the first couple of days on land. That seemed to help.

I wouldn't wait. We booked our May cruise in January and I've been watching prices go up pretty steadily.

You will be good with a balcony - don't stress about the junior suite. We booked our cruise as soon as it was available and were able to snag a good price. Reading these boards will give you a good idea what to expect. Since you haven't cruised before - I recommend bringing along some Bonine, found at Walmart. Our trip in the open ocean between Washington and then back in the protected waters north of Vancouver Island was quite rocky. So much so that my fitbit was registering activity even after I was asleep. The rest of the trip was like glass but those few hours surprised me. Bonine doesn't make you drowsy like Dramamine. Also, if you are looking for excursions, I can't recommend Jayleen's Alaska enough. We had a wonderful day of whale watching on her smaller boat out of Juneau.

We sailed on Ovation June 2019 in 10632 - Starboard Junior Suite. We were facing the pier in Juneau and Skagway. On glacier day, you'll likely want to be up on top deck so you can move around and see the glacier. The ship rotated several times but having the wide view from up top was much better, IMO. As we sailed out, we enjoyed our deck 10 balcony to watch the seals floating on the ice chunks. You'll be fine on 10 or 12.

We just booked our first cruise since 2019 and we’ll be wearing KF94 in all indoor spaces outside of our cabin. We will also avoid crowds and eating indoors. I’m the only person masking at work anymore so I’m used to not caring what others think of my educated decision to protect myself. Masking is much more acceptable to me than having to stay home forever.

I see this type of reasoning a lot. "We have to learn to live with it". Have you heard of Long Covid? Or seen recent studies that show every infection causes cumulative damage to your immune system and can cause organ damage? Covid is a serious virus that we don't fully understand yet.
