not-enough-cruising

The one on the ship absolutely will not allow it.

Agreed, however, rock bottom pricing attracts an undesirable element that otherwise doesn’t show up. Sure, you get trash at a higher price point, but not the street brawler type of trash.

You think the countries they are hiring from offer unemployment benefits? These people are jumping at the opportunity to make 3 times their annual potential salary in 9 months at sea.

Absolutely right, that's why i won't book them

Surprisingly that was just federalized recently. It was still 18 in many states prior to September 2021. A few states still sell to 18 year olds, albeit under the threat of federal persecution; but that doesn't concern anyone anymore than the threat of persecution from selling recreational Cannabis. Many states also have an exception to the 21 year old rule for those with military ID.

Royal will want to see a copy of the positive test. I emailed a copy to my TA, and they handled it from there.

Anytime you see passengers wearing the bed linens as outer garments as they stroll the promenade..........well I will just leave it at that

stay away from 3/4 night trips, whole different (less desirable) demographic

I received my Documents fro Harmon 7/17 on 6/21

I think we will see the trend going in that direction. Instead of adding suite amenities to PDCC, they will remove the suite areas from Labadee. Sound business decision in the grand scheme of things.

The GS and above disclaimer no longer shows in my cruise planner this morning

This is one I most recently read about, there have been a couple others with similar turn out. Plenty of folks out there wanting the work, US immigration and Visas seem to be the larger obstacle. https://crew-center.com/overwhelming-number-applicants-turn-out-royal-caribbean-recruitment-fair-trinidad-and-tobago

Have you seen the lines wrapped around buildings at Royals most recent job fairs? A supply of willing labor is not a problem.

You are way too early to do any of your check in documentation.

Well if you received a bunch of free tests from the government, it's hard not to pay the $10 fee and use them up

Yes it is a CDC requirement for Royal to cruise under the current (maskless) protocols

Welcome to corporate America, this is absolutely nothing new, happens every day all over the world.

This is just another example of the double standard for the cruise lines when it comes to the CDC; the same agency that reduced requirements for some, refuses to acknowledge others.

Will book a vacation that costs $1000 or more, but are going to draw the line at a $25 Covid test?

Not Necessarily. I used that email address in February and within 12 hours received a call from an executive assistant in Miami. With a few strokes of the keyboard he resolved my issue, that I have been battling for months.

Yep, have put the kids and grandkids in these rooms on Liberty

You were absolutely using the wrong TA

Well there ya go, Yahoo is far from a reliable news source.

No way, if they are still testing in September, they will test through the 4th quarter and holiday sailings.

Not sure where you got your information but there isn’t on single ship coded green; not that it matters
