One of the best things about going on a cruise ship is all the fun packed onboard, and a sea day is a great time to try it out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before we hit up the fun, the matter of testing was needed.<\/p>\n
Royal Caribbean transformed deck 5 of the main dining room into a rapid test center, and guests had the choice of getting an antigen test today or tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This test serves two purposes: satisfying Bahamian law and providing a test result to get back into the United States.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This was an antigen test, so it was quick and easy. Most people made reservations once onboard the ship for a time slot, although they seemed to have more availability and took walk-ins.<\/p>\n
Since we are doing a back-to-back cruise, my kids had to get an antigen test, but my wife and I did not since we are both fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n
Test results are emailed back to you, as well as delivered to your stateroom.<\/p>\n
The weather today was not great, with lots of clouds and even some rain. The forecastwas for things to clear up as we got closer to The Bahamas.<\/p>\n
Something else new on Royal Caribbean is a new fleetwide drink menu.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Every few years, Royal Caribbean updates its drink menu for locations that do not have a specialized drink menu. One noticable difference with this year's edition is there is a focus on drinks sourced from Caribbean islands, as well as more attention to low alcohol and no alcohol drinks.<\/p>\n
Royal Caribbean set up a sampling event where some of the new drinks could be sampled.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Don't worry, the menu is just a starting point, so you can still order all of your favorite cocktails.<\/p>\n
With the weather iffy at best, we enjoyed some time relaxing onboard.<\/p>\n
A few fellow RoyalCaribbeanBlog readers even took over a Blackjack table in the casino for some fun.<\/p>\n
The casino is limiting tables to 4 people to enforce social distancing.<\/p>\n
Dinner this evening took us to Izumi, which is the only location in the fleet on the Royal Promenade.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I love sushi, especially from Izumi, and they also have a menu of non-sushi items to enjoy as well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After dinner, we went to Studio B to check out the ice skating show.<\/p>\n
Many guests onboard were equally interested to see one of the ice show's cast, Jordan, who had been doing vlogs on her YouTube channel about being a crew member on Adventure of the Seas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After the show, there was a comedian in the theater, who did a great job of working the crowd into his act.<\/p>\n
In both Studio B and the theater, many seats and even entire rows are unavailable to sit in for social distancing purposes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tomorrow is our last day of the sailing, and we will be in Freeport, Grand Bahama.<\/p>\n
