That is the bottle water industry in a nut shell. And people complain about the price of gas. It is laughable as they drink their bottled water that is 10000 more expensive than safe tap water in the US.
"SAFE TAP WATER" May depend on where you live. We have a water well ,not city water and we don't even cook with it. My in-laws live in town in a neighboring city and the water quality is so poor they also use bottled spring water for most things, NOT even cooking

If we don't take that 10am flight out of SEA we won't get home till after midnight, so we plan on being 1st passengers off ship, self carry bags, we feel the risk is worth it

In my experience cruising to/from Vancouver and living nearby just across the border:
It would be very tight with a very good chance of missing the train. Also in flux are the Canadian Covid entry requirements. If it were me, I would look at later options.
Ovation is sailing from Seattle

I have a 10am flight booked for summer ovation cruise and the airport is farther than train station, so my opinion would be you are ok

We are boosted BUT since royal can't be bothered to include kids over 5 INSTEAD of 12 In their policy, if they require a boosters .... That's the last straw for me ... I'm done with royal
BECAUSE I believe they should require ALL eligible people to have vaccines and/or boosters NOT just people 12 and up

My TA didn't automatically change it
I called and after she made a mock booking THEN she changed it

So they'll require a booster and yet still allow non vaccinated on board? Makes sense.
EXACTLY

Thank you all for your replys. I will contact my big box TA today, I was hoping their website would automatically adjust the date because they don't allow email and hold times are BAD. But if on the off chance they won't update the new date, I'd rather cancel and rebook thru Royal.
-
I was making a mock booking to check for price drops and it seems royal NOW has a final payment in April for our May 2022 cruise.
Would this be available to people who booked thru a TA? Another words if I called my TA tomorrow would they adjust my final payment according? (Instead of Jan 29th) and if they adjust the date, I guess my booking will remain a refundable deposit (just the date changed), correct?

individual guests and guests in non-contracted groups
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY TA BOOKED ME AS A CONTRACTED GROUP ????
Is this a "group rate" thing or something else I need NOT worry about and be on hold for 2 hours to find out.

I'm sure it's just my anal-retentive tendencies, but why use the word ask rather than require. Saying, "we are asking" seems like they are opening themselves up to someone brining a non-vaxxed 5 year old onboard and claiming that they didn't think it was truly a requirement...just a recommendation.
Excellent point

You will pay whatever the nonrenewable rate is at the time that you call
That's what I needed to know THANKS

I paid handsomely for a refundable deposit For our spring 2022 cruise. I have seen on these boards people mentioning changing to nonrefundable deposit just before final payment.
My question is ... How???
When I call my TA is the booking ,
>> completely redone at current prices?
>> Simply changed to nonrefundable and $ , removed from balance due ?
>> Or something else ???

Bayley hinted today at vaccines becoming optional in 2022.
Did he hint that the masks will also be optional????
Because if vaccines are optional but mask Are Not, I will need to get a refund before final payment!

There are exceptions for very specific cases where an unvaccinated adult could qualify to cruise.
Furthermore it can be hard to distinguish between an 11 year old and a 12 year old. Some 10 year olds look 13. Some 13 year olds look 11. The original intent was to have more unvaccinated sailing and that day could come again once certain destinations update their requirements.
As much as I dislike the wrist bands, it is nice knowing they allow crew to ensure that only vaccinated are accessing vaccinated venues.
Wouldn't it make far more sense to require the unvaxed including those under 12 to wear the intrusive wrist bands? ( since they are in the minority) and even more so once the age changes to under 5.

Am I missing something? I thought the wrist bands were originally to distinguish between vaxed and unvaxed people.
BUT NOW that all people 12 yrs and older MUST BE vaxed (and hopefully 5 and older soon), WHAT IS THE POINT?

Recently did a cruise with RC where we are diamond, and one with NCL.
Wow! Does no mask wearing make a difference during a cruise. We will be back to RC when masks are lifted, but for now time to build up NCL points.
I mean come on. Virtually 95% vaccinated, all tested for Covid. Safer then any place on planet earth basically. So WHY the masks? Let people wear them if they choose to. Let me choose not to. 🙄
I SURE HOPE the people at Royal... actually read these threads, because i couldnt have said it better 🙂
