We Went on the 1st @RoyalCaribbean Cruise in 15 Months out of the U.S.! What is it like to cruise post shutdown? On a cruise that does NOT require vaccinations and with a 5 year old who is not vaccinated. Well, follow us to find out. My son Rider and I were first to set sail on the Freedom of the Seas on Friday, July 2, 2021 out of the Port of Miami for a 3-night July 4th Holiday Sailing. See how embarkation was, complete with checking in, having my son take a Covid test and waiting for the results. Also see what Adventure Ocean is like on board and what sort of restrictions they have in place. As always, feel free to ask questions and I will address them as much as I can. Day 2 & 3 will be posted later this week and I will post a wrap-up on Monday July 12. Also be sure to check out @RoyalCaribbeanBlog.
