Jdf Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Finally onboard RC again Just left⁹ Limassol 15 mins ago. As Matt told all ships sail with low capacity. Jewel this week sail with only 520 guest (normaly aprox.2800). So yes its very different but I think it will be a unique experience with a very high level of service. 3 crew per 1 guest. bryresangel, FionaMG, WAAAYTOOO and 8 others 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em.down.the.rabbit.hole Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Do let me know what it's like pls ... I'm doing this cruise in 48 days. Did you fly out on one of the private charter flights? I'm on one from Manchester and a little shaky about flying in on the same day of sailing. How did you find it? Have a fab cruise and enjoy all the yummy food, sun , and fun. Jdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allancy Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 We went on Jewel July 17, it was our first time on RC. There were only 300+ guests. We were very impressed with all, particularly the condition. They must have spent the whole of the lockdown sprucing things up. Despite the lack of a TIa Maria & Martini Bianco it was the best cruise we have been on (smaller 6* before). We have already booked another this Oct.

Jdf Posted August 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 @em.down.the.rabbit.hole. Going to Cyprus from Copenhagen we went with Lufthansa via Frankfurt. I will say it was very different as everything else. Long queues everywhere because they have to check coronapass and cyprus flightpass for all pasangers. One really have to be patient travelling these days . About the ship yesterday we went to Izumi (early) and it was all empty so we had basically 4 waiters around us. The food was fantastic as always. With only 520 onboard the casino was ofcause emptier than normal. Every second slot machine is turned off for social distancing. Again, a different experience . For me its was ok as I dont smoke. Probably the cleanest air ever in a casino . em.down.the.rabbit.hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did RC arrange the transfer to the port. From the airport? I'm flying in from the UK for this cyprus cruise, which Royal included in the cruise fare . I had to ring to check as they don't stipulate it anywhere, but, transfers between airport and port (and return) are included with the included flights from the UK. I don't know about people travelling from other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pammie07 Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Airfare included is a massive bonus! We wanted to do this one from Uk as well but on 18 Sept please post back and update what it’s like on board and how you find the process Only really been on the bigger ships with the kids so no idea what to expect as just the 2 of us this time !
