  1. Good info here. Thanks all for the posts/replies...
  2. Hi @TexanTwoStep and @Leroyr55. My GF Janet and I are on this cruise. We also have a GTY ocean view balcony (XB) which was assigned very early on. We booked in August of 24 and in early 25 we were assigned 6306. Do you have your rooms assigned yet? I also put in LOW bids for a few upgrades, but don't expect anything...
  3. Bump... Anyone know if using this (new?) on-line link is the best way to curently apply for Shareholder OBC? It has been a couple of years since my last Royal cruise... https://rccl.my.salesforce-sites.com/shareholdersobc
  4. A real improvement - nice!

  6. Were there any get-togethers with Matt? Never saw anything posted...
  7. And a much different view looking at Geiranger off of our balcony [11636]...
  8. You can find the town of Geiranger at the end of the Fjord [looking from the windjammer deck]...
  9. The pictures are nice, but there is no way to really understand what this looks like unless you see it with your own eyes!
  10. Love the way the sun is peaking through in this photo heading into Geiranger Fjord...
  11. @snowhiteheather You are welcome. It looks like Anthem will not only do the Fjords next year on May 12th, but will do two possible B2Bs: Jun 14th + Jun 21st and Jul 5th + Jul 12th. We did ours in May and so I like that you picked that cruise. I would worry that Jun and Jul might have less snow left on the Fjord mountains and so you might not see as many waterfalls. I guess it is a trade-off of colder weather and more spectacular views vs warmer weather and less spectacular views...
  12. Geiranger Fjord is considered by many as the most beautiful Fjord in the world... 20230524_102222_001.mp4
  13. We flew British Airlines from BOS -> LHR and LHR -> BOS. Only direct flights we could find. We wanted to keep flight time at a minimum, due to my ill wife. Cost was not the priority. Flight time is about 6.5 hours. Due to the luggage we were carrying we wanted private transportation in England. Medical equipment, medical supplies, and a wheelchair on top of all our regular luggage for 2 weeks (B2B). So we used British Express Cars for our ground transportation - that worked out great for us. https://www.britishexpresscars.co.uk/ Stayed at the Premier Inn Stains upon Thames in London near LHR. It was very nice. https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/surrey/staines/staines-upon-thames.html Also stayed at the Doubletree in Southampton which was OK, but wouldn't stay there again. https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/souhndi-doubletree-southampton/ It looks like next year the Anthem will not do Norway B2B, but there does seem to be 2 cruise choices. Which one are you sailing? I would love to come back!
  14. Christine from AZ was on-board last week and this week with 3586 C&A points. Same for Jack from TX with 3150 C&A points.
  15. Thank You! The medical team on-board the Anthem were wonderful. And I can't say enough how wonderful everyone in Norway has been, including the Hospital doctors in Forde.
  16. Back on the Anthem today. Went to Forde Hospital on Thursday and missed the boat in Bergen by a half hour on Friday. Not fun. Flew Norwegian Air from Bergen to Southampton yesterday to catch the ship today. Ceil is better now - hope she stays that way...
  17. On this cruise too! Watching The High Horns right now. But my wife is sick in the infirmary and it looks like we will be leaving tomorrow to head to a hospital. Also have next week booked, but not sure we will make it back on-board...
  18. We are currently on Anthem and will be off on the 28th- when this cruise starts. Since my cruise disembarks in Southampton, it must be where this cruise starts. Does it sail a round trip?
  19. @FireFishII Thanks! My wife is working on this, but no definitive answer from Option Care. Our final payment is due on Monday (and we booked 2 suites), so I am very nervous!
  20. https://optioncarehealth.com/ They are an infusion care company and I think their policies are different than pharmacies. We have a call into them, but so far no luck with how they can help us. It would be great if they could ship the supplies to RCL in Norway and RCL could deliver them to us on the Anthem. But so far that doesn't look like it can happen.
  21. Thanks, I plan on doing that this afternoon. FYI, the infusion pump is battery-operated, so we will need to take a supply of batteries with us on the trip! Once her backpack is all setup, it is completely portable - except for having to carry the weight and size of the backpack around.
  22. Our TPN must be chilled and cannot be at room temperature for more than 24 hours. She infuses 5X a week and for a 14 hour period. The bag and medicines need to come to room temp for about 4-6 hours before infusion. Yeah, I am very interested if anyone has taken a cruise with TPN, but the responses here make me think not. But Ceil really wants to see Norway and so I really want to make it happen for her.
