I have always thought the best stewards are the ones I rarely see. My room is magically refreshed while I am away. If I have no issues with remotes, ice, toilets, tv or whatever, I don't need to see a lot of them. (You would be surprised how good they are at fixing tvs when there are issues.) Happy to say hello in the hallway when I see them, but generally I don't need to learn their life stories, nor they mine. Others really enjoy engaging a lot with them...different strokes for different folks....

Correct. Think of test day as day zero (so the 29th). The 30th is day 1, 31st is day 2 and August 1st is day 3. Have a great cruise!

Yes, you are up to date with only one booster. I have not heard of any cruise lines requiring 2nd boosters---though they are often recommended. At least not yet..... 😃

It depends on the ship. On one ship-pre-covid, we went down to read the dining room menus at lunch time and there was a line up for the Pub Lunch (in the dining room)! No mention in the patters.... 🙄

Thanks for confirming this. I was looking for it yesterday and didn't find it either. I thought maybe I just was missing it somehow. Guess I'll have to find someplace else to test ...or the even better thing would be if they change their requirements before August so I don't have to test at all! 🤞

I was curious what was "normal"....? According to Wiki: Capacity 3,560 passengers Crew 1,346 ..so seems right in line...whether or not that's adequate....

I just booked a cruise yesterday (with the $1 deposit) and was looking at the confirmation email today. I had requested Princess Vacation Protection for both myself and DH. Since we both have Platinum status, we can select Standard and it is supposed to automatically update us both to Platinum insurance. What it did....was update me, but not DH!!!! It's easy to miss it on the online screen, so be careful!!!! I went in and declined for both of us and will have to contact my CVP to add it. I have 4 other cruises booked and have checked them and they all look correct. So, I think this may have just started yesterday? I did log into DH's account and it does show him as Platinum. This is what it looks like online.
