Any ideas which ship will replace Anthem out of Southampton?

Best -Mama Mia

Worst - Grease

They were open on our cruise when we were in port but closed on sea days.

So lucky I secured mine for £40 per day!

Big thanks @Stephen

I managed to get a drinks package for £275

Anyone done this recently? 
we did it a few years ago,  anaged to purchase the refreshment package for my husband who doesn’t drink.

This time round I’ve purchased the refreshment package and called up RC to purchase the DBP on a promotion I saw but because I booked through a travel agent they couldn’t put it through. I contacted the TA and they are saying both parties have to buy the DBP.. 

I wonder how long it will sail from Southampton before heading to Miami?

If you click link and scroll down Randox website there is a section for clinic appointments which will be supervised by Randox Staff.

 

If you are able to go to one of the clinics listed on Randox website then these tests are suitable so TA is correct. 

No the travel agent was saying I could buy one of the £12 tests to do at home, scan the results on my phone and then they send a certificate... I don’t see how this is going to be excepted.

I kept saying this to them and they won’t listen! And that’s a travel agent

I contacted my travel agent and they have assured me several times that the test below will suffice..but I really don’t see how as you just do the test at home and scan the results in an app and then presumably get a certificate..

I love the curries!

I’ve been watching the series, it’s good!

Does anyone know where we get our pre covid tests from? Last time I went on a cruise last year, RC arranged and paid for the test. When I’ve looked online there’s info for US passages not U.K.

I have booked loads of cruises direct with RC before and never come across this..

I managed to get it sorted. It seems it is a requirement for certain ships but not the one I am going on so they changed it for me. 

The TA said they are waiting to hear back from RC on Friday (who knows why it takes this long) but that was only after I persisted..

Yes my MIL used a different travel agent.

Yeh Manchester UK.  

I recently booked a cruise and my Travel agent has said if I want to go My time dining then I have to pre pay gratuities, but my mother in law booked the exact same holiday and had no problem booking My time dining and paying gratuities onboard. Does anyone know why this is? I have questioned it.

Does anyone know if the smoothies at the cafe near the gyms are included?

Are they perks for suite guests only?

I have also read that they will often allow one person to get the DBP and the second person to get a lesser (less $$) package....like the Refreshment Package.  I guess it depends on who you talk to !!

We rang up RC and did this as my husband doesn’t drink, they were fine about doing it for us.

That’s a great idea!

I dislike the cans as well.
 

We each brought a reusable water bottle from home and they will fill them for us.  I know for certain they are filling them at the Windjammer and Cafe Promenade 

We did the same

We stayed deck 3 mid ship on Independence of the seas, absolutely fine, never noticed any noises..
