Ray reacted to FionaMG in Anthem to Asia! Any idea on repositioning cruise?
I went to Captain's Corner on Anthem this morning and asked specifically about a possible repo to Singapore and when the Singapore itineraries would be released.
It appears there is going to be a repo in mid-October 2024 that will go through the Med and the Suez Canal. The Singapore itineraries will be 3- and 4-nighters.
All of these are currently at the final review stage and the Captain expects them to be released very soon.

I will admit that it is hideously ugly....but aside from the aesthetics...

Ray got a reaction from Rackham in So many people cruising without passports on Independence this morning
Not true!
Member countries of the EU plus a few other countries that are on the approved list ( basically most of mainland Europe) can travel to and from each others countries with only an ID card.
I would say the reason Europeans have passports is so we can travel to places we need them such as the US, Australia, Africa, Caribbean etc.

Ray got a reaction from Dwenzl in Ravenna to Rome transportation
You will get all the train details online ! Just search ravanna to Rome train.
Not sure if you have already booked flights to Palemero if not then you can also look at flights from Bologna.
From cruiseport to Ravanna train station i believe it's either Bus or Taxi

Ray got a reaction from Baked Alaska in Advice on how to escalate RC losing my luggage. Give me all your tips!
You could use the insurance money you get for your missing bag claim to pay for the transportation costs.

Ray got a reaction from SemperMom in (Insert word here) of the Seas
I still cannot believe after a public vote in the UK they decided against naming a ship this even though it was the clear winner 🤣

Ray got a reaction from FionaMG in NCL Cancels Entire Winter 2023/24 European Season on Epic
Agree 100%
No way i would cruise or even visit the Med in Winter.
Like yourself i have previously mentioned cruises based out of Maderia which is a completely different geographic to the Med in Winter.

Ray got a reaction from Ampurp85 in Deluxe drinks package - expensive
If i remember correctly it was £41 per day for cruises booked within a certain time period.
I paid 51 usd for my cruise which wasn't that bad, for next cruise it was showing as 91 usd per day, however it is on sale right now for 71usd which at todays exchange rate is £954.
954 ÷ 2 guests is £477 pp for 7 day cruise or £68 per day, so roughly 6 -7 alcoholic drinks before breakfast sorry i mean per day 😉 to break even.

Ray got a reaction from ChessE4 in Tax rate on ship
You need a special vat refund reciept from the shop you purchase goods from.
These forms have a special number on them that is used by refund counters at airports or other locations.
Refund must also be done before you leave the country! Only variation to this that i am aware of is Finland & Sweden where you can get refunds from 1 country in the other.
Some countries do not have a minimum purchase, you can purchase something at €10 and claim back as long as the shop is part of the programme ( not everywhere will do it)

Ray got a reaction from Eamon in Tax rate on ship
I could be wrong but i was under the impression that VAT refund was only for actual goods that go in your suitcase!
I do know you cannot get for food and drink but i have never read or heard about VAT returns for Internet and i use this refund service where possible when travelling.
This is from the company i use

Ray got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in USA's foreign national vaccine requirement ending May 11.
I actually thought this had already been removed because when i travelled to New York this year for St Patricks Day i was not asked for proof of vaccination either in UK on departure or at JFK on arrival.
