Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Not sure if that was a joke, sarcasm, or just being a &^%^&. I posted the info for others, if it doesn't help you, just move on please!
  2. Was not trying to disparage ANY Online Protocol, as RT&T was not treated very will on the other RC Blog. Point was if you put ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET.......
  3. Very True. RCL site says: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/how-do-i-figure-out-when-to-get-pre-cruise-covid-19-test
  4. Until they CANCEL pre-cruise COVID Tests… do this....... for as ‘risk free’ a planning for this can be, I would suggest the following: PLAN A: Schedule your first target to get a ‘Proctored Covid Test’. This can be in-person (CVS, Walgreens, etc.) or online (emed, Rapidtestandtrace, OnPoint, etc.) PLAN B: Set up some kind of backup… just in case. This could be another ‘cancellable’ in-person testing later that same day, or something else online (again after the time of your PLAN A) PLAN 😄 As long as you use two different methods in PLAN A and PLAN B…. you should be ok. Some say ‘U can test at the pier’ as a PLAN C but, at least at Bayonne NJ, I went to check it out and told they were so so busy with Kid testing that often they can’t even get to u. NY may be better but ….. again u take that last minute risk) If you choose online for PLAN A or PLAN B, have a backup of the backup: I have Optimum Cable as my Internet Provider. I sail in a week and it went out three time today. 😮 If this had been a week later… I would have been ABSOLUTELY SCREWED as 1)Getting in touch for rescheduling has been reported as TOUGH for most online PROCTORS. (some cc'er reported hours on hold) Since there always is a possibility that I would not have been able to get online, from home internet, to my ONLINE PROCTOR… need a backup!!!! If you have a smartphone, make sure you have ‘zoom’ capability is setup (if u have an iPhone get the zoom ap) and send a text to yourself with the zoom link you got when u bought the online test! This makes it a lot easier than trying to type it in later. Yes, this might be overkill for some but I have always used the PLAN FOR THE WORST….hope for the best! Hope this helps... and if someone want to say I am paranoid...PLEASE DON'T
  5. I love you all! I was really worried that had to bring 'ice' to the port to ice my head as my lifetime avg body temp is a little above 100 degrees!!!!! A fever for me, according to my Doc is above 101.6
  6. Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you....... one less stresser!!!! If I might ask, when were u there?
  7. If you are cancelling with the CWC (Cruise With Confidence' Program, you MUST be 48 hours from sailing.
  8. Based on a filing I just read, it appears that BOARDING can be denied by RCL if you have a temperature readings that equal or exceed 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/are-there-other-reasons-to-not-be-able-to-board That temperature can be caused by MANY things other than COVID and kids can be at 100.4 as a normal range? https://www.webmd.com/first-aid/normal-body-temperature Unfortunately, the CDC defines a FEVER (regardless as a cause) as anything => 100.4 so I guess you can' blame the Cruise Lines.... THIS IS WHY I AM WONDERING IF THEY TAKE TEMPERATURES?
  9. I do THANK those veteran cruisers who suggested I prepay the Gratuities! I don't need any other 'surprises' hitting me once I sail in August! Don't take this as a stupid question but.... for those that prepay, have GRATITIES ever gone down later? (Think I know the answer but wanted to throw it out there just to see)
  10. Those that say we are Paranoid.... view https://www.elliott.org/cruises/carnival-cruise-line-denied-boarding-mardi-gras-mistake/ Check this out as well.... https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-happens-if-i-have-symptoms-at-the-terminal Having a temperature could AND HAS been a reason for denying Boarding... check out https://www.flcourts.org/Florida-Courts/Online-Public-Docket for pending suits on the topic. STRESS is not STUPIDITY or PARANOIA if it is rooted in FACT!
  11. Get a PLAN B AND A PLAN C. Risk is ALL about probability and impact. Many of these Proctored online firms firm most of the time so probability may be low of a default BUTTTTTTT IMPACT, ....well can you afford to donate your cruise fees to the Cruise Line and not go? Again, make a Plan B & C. The smart move!
