Yes, booked in Scotland (!)😀 It seems a pretty reasonable allocation.

We booked a guarantee balcony on Anthem 19 May. We have beeb allocated 6674. We are fairly happy with this as it has cabins above and, I think shops below. Therefore it shouldn’t be noisy. I have read contradictory articles whether it’s a restricted view and also , if it’s directly above the smoking area. Anyone have experience of this cabin and is so, what is your opinion?

Sailed many times from Southampton but always travelled down from Glasgow the night before. On our 19 May Anthem departure, we have to fly down on the day from Edinburgh. We arrive 9.30 but RCCL hav given us 1-1.30pm check in. Any point trying to check in straight from the airport. Or, can we put our luggage in straight away, then get taxi back to town centre? Or is it easier just waiting?

Can someone please explain the scanner trick. What’s a upc scanner?

As OP, thanks for your helpful replies. What I didn’t point out that my wife doesn’t drink any alcohol. That means I have 10 D+ drinks. She may have a coffee or a soda, but as a moderate drinker, I can probably go for a couple of beers to augment my wine at dinner and lunch, along with a few Scotches!

We are on Anthem out of Southampton on 19 May. We are D+ but haven’t cruised RCCL for a long time. To use our daily 5 drink vouchers, do you have to tell the bartender/waiter that we wish to use a voucher or will it happen automatically? I believe we can get a buy one, get one free on specialty restaurants on first 2 nights. How do we activate this? Should I just book for the 2 of us in advance and ask for D+ discount when signing on board or is there an other method of getting the discount?

Wife and myself

Yes

We were invited to bid on our Azura cruise this Friday. ( booked through TA) My bid of £205 for a family suite from superior balcony was accepted. It seems reasonable value to me.

We were offered a specific suite, D105. The email said we had to pay for it within 48 hours. Also said ,if we didn’t pay on time, we would revert to original booking level ( but no guarantee, same cabin). That meant it could have been a superior balcony, E deck, directly above music lounge

Now that tips are included on P&O, do you still leave tips? I am thinking the cabin steward or if in a suite, your butler

Thanks for your reply. We have done many suites in various cruise lines over the years. I guess the reason for my question was because of the unusual lay out of family suites and also their position. Anyway, I have now accepted their offer and booked it Thanks

I bid on several suites but have been informed by P&O that I have been successful with a bid of £205pp for a family suite. I have 72 ro accept and pay. We are currently in a Superior Balcony, Canaries, 26 January i not the “ suite” is an unusual lay out. Any experience of the family suite and is it worth £410? thanks

My pet hate is I’ve always pre paid tips, but that doesn’t stop the cabin steward leaving envelopes for “extra “ tips
