That is what I think of....having spent years traveling in a "land yacht".  😉

I am still confused why these are necessary if you have to be vaxxed to get on the boat. If it's because kids 11 and younger don't have to be vaxxed, then maybe just everyone under 18 should wear them. You can't tell me you might mistake a 21 year old for an 11 year old lol

The problem there is that those youngsters would just cut them off. And it is possible (although highly unlikely) that someone who is not vaxxed could get an exemption for medical reasons to sail.

BTW, social distancing staff are serious on looking for vaccine bracelets. Saw folks turned away at the show. 

 

I don't even notice mine being on at all....with that terrible "tail" cut off.  Most times don't even take it off in the cabin.

Thanks for that good information about low sodium diet options.  I recently went on BP medication and this will be my first cruise where I need to worry about the amount of salt in my food. I figured I'd just have to do the best I could - thank you again!

I am also  on BP meds and need low salt.
I can honestly say that the dining room food that is low salt  tastes so much better to me. You don’t realize how much they salt the food until you get the low salt version.

Gotcha, didn't think there were any exemptions allowed, makes sense then...

@John&LaLa We've been following right along and enjoy the pictures and sharing.  Thanks.

 

One question.

 

We've not been on Royal in awhile (new NCL ships for Haven and MSC for YC) then 2020 'hit' and put a hold on our plans.

 

We've never heard of "Unlimited Dining Package" (thought U was Ultimate).  We looked it up on the RCCL website.  Sure enough.  YIKES.  Multiple entrees and multiple venues!

 

We're not big eaters at all, however after reading what you ate and drank yesterday we've gained weight.  🤨

 

Continuing to follow....

Fixing to get real at the forward pool.

My view is definitely upgraded

Didn't know the Book had an 8:15 tonight?  Must be a change from the info page I have tacked on my wall.  Mine shows Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns at 8 and 10:15.  😮 

 

We have the Book reserved for 9 pm tomorrow.  

 

Going to Pete Matthews at  7 pm tonight.

That's OK.  My wife just let me know that my comment should have been to @BennyBrun on the Oasis.

 

I'll cut and paste over there.

 

Weight sounds good.  👍

You and Bucky are the exact same weight!!  He has weighed in at 171 for years.  He eats lots of sweets, plenty of drinks, and still never gains an ounce.  😮 

 

Me...I could probably smell food and  gain pounds in seconds.  😣  But I have actually been the same plump self for 30 years now...no smaller (unfortunately) and no bigger.   I eat lite and healthy, don't eat sweets, use sugar free, exercise...but I do love my wine.  The diet gods must be demons.  😈

That’s crazy all the chair hogging. Good for the crew removing the towels, but what does he do with all the clips? Turning them in to lost and found would be funny.

Chair hogs, just showed up, said they'd been gone less than 30 minutes 🤣🤣

 

My picture date stamp tells a different story😉

Plump body...brought to you by the wine makers of the world.  😄 🍷

Mine comes from chocolate.

My comparison could be skewed since our passenger numbers are so low. 

 

I know what a full Oasis is like

I was thinking more basic ship to ship comparison, the differences between venues.

 

From what I've been reading since Oasis made her debut, she seems to be the ship of choice for many.

I'm old and not sure how I made it this long. In my mind I think I am young, but the rest of me, not so much. 🤣

There was one ship I was on, can't remember which...but that is exactly what they did.  They had shelfs of boxes behind the towel station with a "lost and found" set up.  The Hogs had to go there to claim their stuff.  😉  

 

I wonder if they had to pay for the missing towels.  😲

Fantastic!  Thanks for the heads up....just used the app to book the 8:15!  😄  👍

 

Changing to that now instead of Pete Matthews.

Well, I am guessing since you and Bucky are both brothers that survived the "Land of the Dragon" that you are both the same age.  He grabbed himself a "young" bride at 5 years younger than himself.  😄
