Hi, We were booked on the 28th of April cruise. We got a price for a like for like switch to the 14th sailing and it was much more expensive. It's our first cruise as a family (husband and I were on Odyssey in July). We booked direct through RCI, and the agent who booked the original tried his best to match the cost but it just wasn't possible. I thought that was it. Then he checked the cost of a different itinerary on Icon. We've gone from 2 Jr suites on Oasis to an ultimate family infinity balcony room (5 of us), sailing the 27th, and the cost has reduced by almost £1.6k. Ask your agent if there is another sailing after your 14th. It won't be your b2b, in the same room with the same staff, but you might be surprised at what else is available x

Hi, curious - were you able to have your child in the 13-17 club? When we sail, our eldest will be 12, but she'll be 13 two days before the end, so hoping she can move to the teen club!

We're parking at the airport, and have paid to fast track check in and security checks. The liquid thing has been common knowledge for years. And electronics? Who does that??? I'm a major prepper. I have a file for all our travel docs in order of need, I have our travel sized toiletries ready for the main suitcase, you name it. I would say I can't believe people are being so stupid, but, well, I can sadly. I just hope our flight isn't cancelled!

We were supposed to fly Edinburgh to Amsterdam to Rome, but I'm terrified if flying so driving down to Manchester for a direct flight. We've been counting down for almost a year, and the lack of staff is honestly terrifying me!

I'm not going to lie. We're down to 5 weeks to sail date and we're flying Manchester to Rome. Except. Airport chaos is bringing a lot of anxiety. Flights cancelled last minute etc. We're flying on a RC package flight. Does anyone know what happens if the worst case scenario happens and we can't get out of the airport to reach our port check in? I'm a worrier by nature, and news reports of how bad it's been is not helping!

Hi, First cruise and I've just gone to do the online check in for Odyssey. I've selected a time, added my passport and vaccine statue, but the time was for a pre cruise wellness check. I know this is a stupid question, but is that the same as our check in time, or will that come later?

I'm looking at ordering the champagne and strawberries. Do I select both of our names, or just one? If I select both, it obviously doubles in price, but I don't want two lots if its a bottle and strawberries each?

Thank you. We have never cruised before, and don't want to offend or tip in the wrong currency. We have a Revolut card, purely for this holiday for spends as can have $ and €, but tips are throwing me. I'll pick up some Euros for the port.

We're going on Odyssey and will travel from the UK. Do we tip in Euro or Dollar at the terminal (Rome)? Trying to work out what currency we'll need, and roughly how much of each!
