    In Split it is very easy, the ship arrives a few minutes walk from the old town. There is a lot to visit while walking around the city. For those I want, there is a small beach nearby.
    For Dubrovnik, the ship arrives at the port which is a bit far. Take the shuttle or public buses. Again, there is much to visit and even more for lovers of "game of thrones". For the beach, from the small port of Dubrovnik, possibility to take the public boat to the island of Lokrum. Beautiful, without car. It is a nature reserve. Attention, the site is paid but included in the ticket of the public boat. If it’s a private boat, you’ll have to pay extra.

    The arrival of the ship is a few dozen meters from the boats that go to Capri. It is very easy.
    At the port of Capri, either the staircase or the cable car to go up to the old town.

    We did a 2022 transatlantic on Rhapsody. We absolutely loved the crossing experienced.  Less crowding on the ships, more mature cruisers, we made multiple shipboard friends and that’s not normal for us.  We sailed from Barcelona to Barbados.  It was mid October and every day got warmer and better for the pool.  Also we kept picking up an hour of time change overnight as we sailed west.  We liked that the beating of the long flight was at the beginning of vacation when  we were excited rather than at then end when we are exhausted.  We’ve heard from others on the blog who feel totally differently about east bound vs west bound.  
    Our only issue was that 8 sea days on a Vision class ship (Rhapsody OTS) became a bit boring.   The small ship provided little diversion from the pool and dining room.  The same lounge singer was in the Centrum day after day.  So we booked a west bound crossing for 2025 on Independence OTS.  Our thinking is that an AMPED Freedom class ship will provide more diversity onboard.
    As soon as November comes this year and the 2026 transatlantic autumn deployment schedule is released we will book either a Quantum or Oasis class crossing.

    cedricmr got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in GTY room question   
    11 cruises, still in GTY.
    Until 2023, we had the assisgnation several months before the cruise (for example, I already know the cabin of my cruise next September). But for 2025 cruises, no information.
    For the 11 cruises, the cabin only changed one number because we were in B2B. We believe that Royal has moved the cabins closer to avoid a long baggage transport.

    I am cheap, I only book the cheapest option available and look at my bookings everyday and re-price if it gets any lower than what I pay 😂
    I do Royal Up, but never gotten anything so far.
    I am happy with regardless of where we sleep, as long as I am on a ship! 😁 I am not too difficult to please.
