Dynamic throttling is probably not that easy to implement. 4Mbps is enough for an HD video stream.

Your genie should provide details for that as well.

No.

On Q class each venue has its own name - you may be thinking of Oasis, when there was a plan to convert her to Dynamic Dining and each level of the MDR got its own name.

Should be capped at about 4Mbps but the performance could be quite good if she gets the Starlink upgrade by the time of your sailing.

You may have thought of Anthem or other Q class ship.

Quite a few have reported being able to get full refunds without any proof.

Yes.

They will if she claims to be COVID positive.

The times for those should also be listed in the app.

You can set your app to any ship/sailing about 90 days into the future, including the current one - there's a link toward the bottom of the main app page. The info in the app gets more accurate/updated closer to the sailing and should be pretty good for the current sailing.

It may take a while for both (Setsail pass and Royal up) to show up.

You may find more options if you spread out your party to two or more cabins. Follow the 2024-2025 deployment thread for info on when that will be available.

Connecting to the ship wifi gets you a few free things: Ability to complete the e-muster prerequisites Use the RCI app Access to some RCG related web sites For all other internet access, you'd need to Voom package.

If you are on the 10/29 sailing, it's not like you have a lot of options to move to - only two cabins I can see and neither are in any better location - that's a good assignment as normally you'd get a D cat balcony.

Biker, who is waiting for the document police to chime in on this ^ one.

Yes.

Caribbean destinations continue to ease their COVID-19 entry protocols. This time, Barbados has removed all entry requirements, which means anyone can now enter the country without needing a negative test result. The move by the Barbadian government has already gone into effect and applies to all land and cruise ship visitors. The new protocols are expected to boost the local economy, with many small business owners wholly dependent on the many cruise ships that typically visit the island year-round. Barbados Removes All Requirements Following many different Caribbean cruise destinations, such as Grand Cayman and St. Kitts, the island of Barbados has now discontinued all COVID-19-related travel protocols. A few weeks ago, Barbados already relaxed several protocols for vaccinated visitors, now removing all measures. This means that unvaccinated guests boarding a cruise ship in Barbados, or those visiting Barbados by ship, will no longer need to provide a negative test result. Previously, cruise lines would have done testing 48 hours before arrival to Barbados and sent those results to the local authorities. In addition to relaxed testing and entry requirements, those visiting the island will no longer be required to wear masks. Masks will only be mandatory for persons working in and visiting healthcare facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, and senior citizen homes; persons traveling on public transportation; and for persons who are positive. Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Sen. The Hon. Lisa Cummins said: “This is the last step for us which reflects our position as fully open for business following the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to continuing to welcome visitors to our shores to experience all of the new and returning events slated for the rest of the year and into early 2023,” The procedures went into effect on September 22. Barbados Returns to the Old Normal Now Barbados has removed all COVID-19-related measures that have been in place since the start of the pandemic, the country is one of many Caribbean holiday destinations that are returning back to the old normal. The island has always been one of the most popular cruise destinations in the southern Caribbean, offering guests a vast variety of activities. Barbados has some of the World’s most beautiful beaches, and it is the culinary capital of the Caribbean and home to the oldest distilled spirit in the world – rum. Barbados is considered the birthplace of rum, and Mount Gay distillery – founded in 1703 – is believed to produce the oldest rum found anywhere in the world. The distillery is a popular stop for cruise ship passengers during their visit. Most major cruise lines have regular calls scheduled to Barbados, and due to the distance from South Florida, it also acts as a vital homeport for cruise ships. Before the start of the pandemic, Barbados recorded the busiest year in history for cruise ship arrivals. 262 Cruise ships visited the island, bringing 511,000 visitors. However, during the pandemic and through 2022, that number fell significantly to 4,100 in 2021, and only 175,000 so far this year. With the country’s re-opening, the hope is there that visitor numbers, and the economy will recover at an increased rate. Caribbean Cruise Destination Removes All Entry Protocols (cruisehive.com)

Zenith at Alang, Horizon went to another breaker.

They were under the mistaken assumption that once a nice table was given to them and promised for the reminder of the cruise, that the table assignment won't change.

The latter.

Only to a very few was that ever in doubt.

Just to clarify for those who may not know the details - the D and up drink perk does NOT work at a dedicated Starbucks kiosk - it does work at any other coffee specialty venue which serves Starbucks.
