Mike.s Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Be interesting to see how the pricing compares to Celebrity, they're doing similar itineraries, 8 days with drinks, tips and wifi in a balcony cabin from £1449, I thought that was quite competitive.

Am sure curious what will happen in mid September. I have a cruise then. Plus I am in US and the cruise goes to other countries. France, Norway, Denmark, etc. I would sure like to know as it affects flights, pre-paid hotels in London, etc. No telling what will happen, so I will wait and see. But glad to see the sailings starting out of Southampton! Brogan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 @Brogan thanks for posting these dates, I was looking for them so I could plan ahead. Not sure where you found them, but did dates for Jewel OTS for Cyprus also get released? They also go on sale on April 7th...

Pricing isn’t officially public yet, only dates and itineraries. Pricing will be confirmed on Wednesday when the sailings are available to book. I know what you mean I am very keen to find out the prices too. According to a few different people Ive spoken to (my travel agent and also a few different people on Facebook) the prices seem to range from £400 to £700 per person for the lowest price room depending on length of cruise. This to me is very reasonable and a lot less than Celebrity’s pricing, Celebrity do have an all inclusive model though so obviously will be more expensive. em.down.the.rabbit.hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 With those types of prices I'll be booking a b2b on the 7 nighter on 25th July and the 6 nighter on 1st August... Brogan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brogan Posted April 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 6 minutes ago, em.down.the.rabbit.hole said: Which vaccination group are you in? Group 12 There’s a chance I might be in group 6 though, I’m seeing my GP this week as I may have underlying health issues which would make me eligible for a vaccine now. The issue is that as they say 12 weeks between doses it makes it harder to get both doses in time. Which group are you in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 @Brogan my sister in law just rang her GP up and said she had a BMI higher than 40 and he just bumped her into group5 (GPs have all the power to determine who's in group5). If in Group12 then its all about when the 2nd dose is given, if group5 its all about getting dose1 in to start the 12 week clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkyy2k Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I was surprised at Celebrity's pricing this morning! I expected them to be pricey but £1500 each for a week round UK, ouch! em.down.the.rabbit.hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celebrity price includes drinks, wi-fi and gratuity. RC is always expensive out of Southampton. em.down.the.rabbit.hole and Brogan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Ok that took 25mins to get through... They were unable to book 25th July as system broken on dining options ... Also advised they are not doing back2back cruises because of the kids requiring negative PCR tests, and even though you can purchase the 2 cruises separately, it's in the t&c's...not that they're making that clear to anyone!!! They also only had all the info dropped on them this morning - how organised is Royal, NOT!!! So not booked yet, but wanting 25th July Brogan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brogan Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 @em.down.the.rabbit.hole @Mike.s Another thing thats interesting is that when booking a Jewel sailing it comes with a warning saying you must be vaccinated to sail on that cruise however no such warning appears when booking one of the Anthem sailings.

em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I was just about to ask about the health warning... However, have they missed it... Once lockdown is fully lifted in the UK (circa June 21st) then we will be allowed to travel anywhere in the UK...Anthem is only doing UK itineraries for UK residents only.... technically they won't need vaccinations or negative tests...‽ Brogan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Well RCI just allowed b2b on July 25th and August 1st sailing . I will need the vaccine and my 2 nieces will need a negative pcr test (within 5 days of sailing), but Royal confirmed that if I "forget" to get the tests done then they will provide the test free of charge at the port (would just delay boarding for a couple of hours whilst you wait in the queue to be swabbed and for results to be returned). Still eyeing up Cyprus for later on in the year though... Brogan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brogan Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 BOOKED! 1st August 6 night British Isles on Anthem of the Seas. I am PRAYING I am vaccinated in time. Seems like the vaccine rollout is stuttering here in the UK so maybe they’ll change the requirements of two vaccine doses. em.down.the.rabbit.hole, KristiZ and twangster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
