Can I buy the bevy package and get the points?

The wine pairing seems like a no-brainer at $20, are these full-sized pours? Definitely will need a nap if thats the case

I'm looking at the Taste of Royal lunch for one of our sea days. Does the price include the listed wine pairings, or is that an additional $20? Menu is somewhat confusing. Also, how long is the lunch start to finish?

Definitely DO NOT “speed swim”. You will not out swim them, and actually attract the shark to you. Stand in the water with your feet towards the bottom, hands and arms across your chest, with your hands on your shoulders… So your arms are tucked in, not flailing. Head/Mask down to watch the shark at all times while “walking” back towards the boat, using your flippers to “walk”. If the shark approaches, face it standing position, this confuses it, since most food sources swim vertically not horizontally… Hopefully he just investigates and swims on. Scream through your mask to confuse it, and prepare to fight if it gets within range to do so.

Sharks absolutely randomly attack. Thats what sharks do, their dumb, they see a potential food source, they attack…and unfortunately a bull shark can do alot of damage...very sad and unfortunate, my condolences to that poor family.

what’s the offer from Royal, and expiration?

does this also work for Verizon iPhone? I don’t want internet, just would like to send/receive an occasional text from family back home

Does RC do happy hours?

it’s mentioned here that your iMessage(iPhone) will work if you connect to the ships wi-fi to just to use its app for free. kinda an unknown iphone hack ffwrd to video the 9:25mark

Mine have worked great. Everywhere on the ship and even when I’m on the ship and wife goes in port to do some shopping. No problems.

walkies

Pool heaters fixed, or this still a problem RCI is ignoring?

hmm,,,interesting angle. Our 5 year old just recovered from Covid, as did our whole family. We are cruising at the end of Sept, how exactly does the proof of recovery work? Anyone else recently cruised with an unvaxxed kid, can share where they got tested? thanks!

End of September out of LA

Where are people getting their unvaxxed kids tested nowadays? (We have a 5 year old cruiser) I know it’s gotta get done 3 days prior to the cruise, but last we cruised in February we used Walgreens for their NAAT test, with no issues. Test results within a few hours. Now I’m hearing that isn’t an option? Or at least a free/no cost option?

On the UDP 3 meal plan it says "40% off wine under $100 per bottle" while dining in specialty restaurant... Can you buy the first bottle and enjoy it during dinner,,,, say order a 2nd bottle and either take it back to your room or they store it for you, and you drink it the next night in the main dining room?

What are people using for unvaccinated children? I used walgreens in the past.
