I don’t see how these ships will sail when none of them even have a date for test sailings.

We are Aug 15 out of PC. I am trying to stay hopeful.

Don't think we know enough to rule out Florida yet.  Freedom may be the first of several (and the others still could happen before Freedom)

 

Yes but I’m confused why they are doing Freedom if they are cruising out of NJ and the NJ gov said he doesn’t expect cruses for port liberty until end of August. 

Does anyone know how quick they can actually cruise from the ships that participated in the test cruises after they are completed?

This is a little frustrating with all the ships that are supposed to sail in July and August. I hope they are continuing to submit approvals for test cruises on the other ships quickly.

I’m assuming you need to have WiFi on the ship to use the app? I think it would be helpful but I am also looking forward to a break from all the kids and hubby on the cell phones for a week. 🙂

I wonder if they were vaccinated or not. I am assuming yes. Asymptomatic so far it looks like.

Apparently there was an official announcement from Bayley about Royal submitting for a test cruise to the CDC today? I hoped they could find a ways to skip these and go straight to regular sailings.
The test cruises don’t seem fun to me at all even if free!

 I’m still not understanding the need for test cruises since they stated needing the vaccine for cruises.

This is what RC response was in Twitter.

What worries me about ambiguously saying in one sentence "all fully vaccinated" and then immediately saying "if not vaccinated you will need a negative test"  IS,

all of the rule breakers who will see this as an opportunity to not vaccinate .

Because as we know RCCL didn't use to enforce the rules well, on other matters.

The statement should have been .... Those under 12 need a negative test.

I’m thinking maybe because some people medically  cannot receive the vaccine.

This is interesting. Then why the test sailings? Maybe I am missing something.

I just booked a cruise on Anthem while on board another ship and did get 100.00 on board credit.Now, they also had the 2nd person 1/2 off but I'm hearing they raised the prices prior to this. If another deal comes out can I call and change it instead of rebooking? Cruise is next August so I think I can cancel up a few months before without a charge

Can anyone tell me the actual time that they arrive in port at port Canaveral. I thought it was 10:30 am but now I am seeing 12 noon.

Also Drinks packages. Can someone tell me about the Royal Replenish package. Does this include the specialty coffee drinks at Café Lattitudes.

I just signed up for this and couldn't really get too much info on this.

thanks!

We are leaving in 2 weeks and very excited. However you are all making me nervous about the beds. Lol! I am used to memory foam. We are on the bottom floor also. Yikes!
