I'd tell them they're on their own also lol. It's very possibly how they'll learn 🙂

I'd love to know the age breakdown for those who drink enough to at least break even and those that don't. The older you are the more likely you are to be on meds. There are people on meds that limit how much they can drink. Diabetics have to be careful with alcohol and sugar, including juice. Cholesterol meds are processed through the liver and alcohol has to be limited. And, some with heart issues have to limit caffeine. I just have a feeling that most who think nothing of buying the package and can easily "get their money's worth" tend to be younger than those who don't. And, yes, there are exceptions.

OP is arriving the day before. It's their friends who are arriving day of.

Because you only really need the cert to board the ship. Bermuda is trusting the cruise lines to verify them before boarding.

We have four for two people just in case. There are occasionally stories about bad tests. What you don't want is to be that "occasional story".

Well, it's not 48 hours. It's two days so flight delays make no difference. That being said, RCI would have to make some accomodation for delayed ship departure if it was a day.

Should be 3 pm (90 min before departure).

It's always risky to fly in day of. All they'd need is a 2-3 hour delay and they'd miss the ship. Recommendation is the day before. The only time we go day of is when we go out of Baltimore because it's just over and hour drive and we have several routes we can use.
