What's the over/under on the day number that the first of the four is tossed off said balcony.

LOL It’s not interpretation. It’s data.

Except the data says they don’t. Hong Kong had one of the highest mask compliance ratios but still suffered one of the worst outbreaks.

Take it up with The NY Times. It’s their chart. Funny how the only data that is inaccurate is data that doesn’t advance a specific narrative.

Not a dumb question at all. Royal's description in the cruise planner is unnecessarily ambiguous. I'm sure many people buy more than they need because of it.

The one time I tried to cancel when I was onboard I was told I was too late as they require 48 hours notice. I told the Shorex dept that I still wanted to cancel as I didn't want the others to be waiting around for two people who were never going to show up.

I haven't had many price drops especially since I often book my TA's group rates. Those are usually rock Botton strait out of the gate.

The highlighted portion is the very definition of an anecdote. The science says you are wrong.

I follow a guy on twitter who was posting from inside. He's an American working there. His pictures of his daily food deliveries where awe inspiring. He had an audio recording people singing. Everybody just emanating love, hope and compliance.

Calling all medical geniuses @not-enough-cruising, calling all medical geniuses @not-enough-cruising. Code green, Code green.

Look how well China has managed things. They locked down 25,000,000 people in Shanghai for 2 months. For 2 months they couldn't leave their apartments. Two days ago the people were allowed to be free ,to walk around their city. Covid Zero is the most noble goal.

Book when cruises itineraries are first released and then watch for drops.

If you really cared about people you would test twice a day, everyday for ten days post cruise and wear your mask for fourteen days. I can't believe that you would walk around for 4 days potentially spreading a very, very deadly virus that could kill someone. Who cares if they are boarding a cruise or not!

We were on Odyssey over Valentines day. We were able to use our UDP at every restaurant except Chops on that night.

Yes you can get bottles with the RP. Reports are mixed with the cans of water. Sometimes you get plastic bottles, sometime you get the cans.

Thanks for that I just wasn't sure. I knew you could check in one and not the other but I wasn't sure if there would be any ramifications for the checked in party as you got closer to embarkation. That being the case, the OP should just checkin himself and leave the rest alone.

I'm a new diamond so this next cruise will be my first foray into the Diamond lounge. With the machine they have do they also include flavoring syrups? If so are any of those sugar free. DW starts every day with a sugar free caramel or vanilla latte.

And Hawaii 🙂

This seems the best way to go to me. You get the taxes and fees back this way as well. It just happens a few days after the cruise. The only real question is about the online checkin and if it needs to happen.

1. I think finding a sympathetic agent is unlikely. Not that they wouldn't be sympathetic but that they are simply incapable doing anything the outside of the script they are given from Miami. 2. I had one cruise where we had a no show but it was granddaughter and she was a third person and I had checked her in when I did ours at 45 days so I have no knowledge on how to proceed with that. 3. If your brother was willing to let you use if info as a place holder I'd say go ahead with that. I understand your unwillingness to do it with your wife's info. 4. I can't imagine a no show now will have any impact on a cruise next April. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I've asked for 4 bottles at a time. 2 for me and 2 for DW and never been refused.

That's bizarre. In the past I have always ordered the DBP for me and the RP for my wife. It was never a problem and there was never a question justifying it beyond "She doesn't drink". Call again, I'm sure you will have better luck with a different rep.

I've had 3 cruises post restart and all were less the $50 per day. Lowest was $44 a day. It is only in the last couple months the prices have shot through the roof.

I get cash through the Casino. It's easy and free.
