    9/5/22-Unvaccinated travelers can join RCCL for almost all U.S. sailings.

    Got off of the Wish recently on a B2B. Even with the pre-testing, people contracted Covid. Lots of people got sick (Covid or something else) on the cruise(s) or shortly thereafter, including us. We tested yesterday and were negative. I have no problem saying it was my last cruise, ever, if...

    Our cruise leases next May. I will be canceling.

    Royal Caribbean drops testing for 10 days or shorter

    I'm not confused, I'm disappointed. Disappointed that they are willing to put others at risk because they do not want to take a test. We had an RCCL cruise we had to postpone from last May until May 2023 due to issues with a family estate. With RCCL eliminating the testing I do not feel...

    Best Way To Book A Cruise?

    We need an accessible stateroom so it has been better for us to look at the deck plans, find the accessible cabins and make a list of where we would like to stay, then call DCL. If none of the staterooms on our list are available, then we move on. We are accustomed to making our own travel...

    Any Luck Parking at Manhattan Cruise Terminal?

    There is a ramp near the south end of the cruise area, but not the one all the way at the south end. IIRC Google maps street view shows this ramp as a down ramp. It was not.

    Any Luck Parking at Manhattan Cruise Terminal?

    There are several piers there, also the probability of several cruise ships. There are three ramps - ground level, middle level where the porters are, and upper level to get to the parking areas. Enter at the north end, exit at south end. Our first pass was to drop off the luggage with the...

    Dream B2B Procedure

    I picked the latest PAT for the second cruise in our B2B to let someone get an earlier PAT slot. We're just going to the testing tent rather than leaving the terminal. We should be on board WAY before that PAT comes around.

    Pre Cruise Testing

    We used the BinaxNOW proctored tests from emed.com before our cruise last year. Testing at home before we left on the trip gave us an extra level of security that were we would pass the tests in the parking lot two days later. Another thought was it would be a lot less stressful cancelling /...

    Princess cruise lines dropping Covid requirements

    We're booked on the Oasis of the Seas from NY (actually NJ) next year with a stop in Port Canaveral. Don't remember where else it is going other than their private island. I'm hoping they do not stop testing prior to the cruise. As much as I want to go, I don't want to put myself at any more...

    Princess cruise lines dropping Covid requirements

    I'm sorry to see them do away with the pre-cruise testing. It removes a level of safety for me as I'm in the at risk category. Yes, I'm fully vaxxed and boosted, but this increases the chance of sailing with someone that may be infected. Hopefully, DCL will not make any changes to the policy...

    Please help with understanding about having an ECV ON Magic

    We were on the Magic in 2018 out of NYC, and were on Deck 6 where the EVC and stroller is located behind the elevator bank. It was full, mostly strollers just pushed into the space. Some of the outlets did not function properly. Yes, I reported it to guest services. There is some space on...

    Backup Plan if Denied Boarding?

    Could be... We ordered a six pack online after seeing some cruise youtubers doing the tests. I believe there are two types - one you do by yourself, the other is proctored where you are walked through the process in a video call (pc or phone). Don't open the box until you are instructed to do...

    Backup Plan if Denied Boarding?

    We did Binax proctored tests the day before we were scheduled to leave thinking it would be much easier to cancel everything from our kitchen table than at the port.

    No bringing food on board, but... Question

    We had some bottles of water freeze in the little fridge on the Fantasy on October.

    At Home COVID testing

    We were able to do the proctored Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Card Test at home with our smart phones. I have our network set up so we can print from our phones, tablets, pc's. The test wasn't required for our DCL trip, but we thought it best to test at home the day before we were scheduled to...

    I'm so nervous!

    We picked up a six pack of the proctored Binax tests. We tested ourselves, at home, the day before we were planning to leave. It would have been a lot easier to cancel our plans (Auto Train, pre-cruise hotel, cruise, and two hotels after the cruise) from home had we tested positive. We still...

    Inbound flights and airlines

    We recently took the Auto Train south for our cruise on the Fantasy followed by a couple of days at WDW, then drove home to South Jersey. I enjoy the drive. The traffic around DC can be pretty bad but this time there were no problems. The only back up was going north in Delaware. Bad...

    Sobering videos of fantasy cruise

    We got on after you got off. It was a fantastic cruise. 1049 passengers. More crew than passengers. No trying to get through huge lines in the main corridors or at Cabanas. I didn't miss the sail away party where it seems loud equals excitement. Disembarkation was great without a huge line...

    Park day after debarkation, how to get Genie+?

    We updated the app on my wifes phone before the cruise, left mine un-updated in case there were issues. We set an alarm on debarkation day . With airplane mode turned off, she was able to connect to a verizon tower from our balcony as we were already docked. We spent a bit of time in Epcot...

    So I test positive for Covid19 at the port, now what?

    We did the drive to NJ, again, last week at the end of our cruise and WDW trip. Very enjoyable. If you are positive there are plenty of places to gas up and get something to eat. We were not positive so we stayed in Smithfield, NC. Remember to gas up before you get to NJ as the gas here is...
