Morganno Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 We are going on this cruise with family 4 adults 2 teens (17-19) we are also staying in Rome from 8th July. (Party of 3, party of 2, and solo traveler.) We live in Ireland and Belgium and we also have 2 other couples coming along on the same cruise from England and Ireland so we will be 10 in total at some point. Been on Independence, Explorer and Harmony before so this is our first Quantum class ship, looking forward to the port stops and to hearing what others are doing. With less than 3 months to go we will probably have to test somewhere in Rome before our cruise so also wanting to hear of experiences regarding this. I'm starting to look at excursions now it's getting closer I will post here if I see anything interesting. Happy sailing all, John WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaRMC Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 We're (my husband and I) boarding this journey as our first cruise. We were planning to fly over on the 9th, but it looks like we need to have a PCR test done within the last 24hrs of boarding, so not sure how that will work? We'd be flying out of either Edinburgh or Birmingham (trying to get a direct flight) early on the 9th, so we would be outwith the 24hr period?

Morganno Posted May 22 Author Report Share Posted May 22 Hi Donna looks like we will have the ship to ourselves. For the testing you don't need to have a PCR you can do an Antigen at any chemist, it's the ones where you get the result within 15 minutes and now Royal have announced that for Italy you can do it 2 days before you board.

DonnaRMC Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 More chance to get a royal up bid accepted lol. Although, a lot of the excursions have sold out! I have my countdown going, got my magnetic hooks and other tips purchased and ready to go. It's ridiculous how excited I am, but we haven't had a holiday just for us since 2008 so I'm ok with being a big wean Morganno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganno Posted May 23 Author Report Share Posted May 23 We've managed to convince another 4 people onto the cruise one gets sea sick so I hope the cruise to Mykonos is smooth.... Looking foward to it. Only 48 more diet days to go. DonnaRMC and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaRMC Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I bought little patches you put behind your ear for travel sickness. Never been on a cruise ship, but I'll struggle with the shuttles from the ship to port, so ideal. Got them on Amazon Morganno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaRMC Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 All checked in, ready to go. I think I may be even more excited now check in opened at 11 last night (midnight on the ship), so was in there quick! Paranoid I won't get decent dinner times for the specialty restaurants, so got the earliest time I could. Roll on July 10th!
