Not forgetting Adora Magic City out of Shanghai too!

LE Legacy TR Treasure or Triumph HE Heroine 🤷‍♀️

Strange: they usually have a van in the carpark collecting the cases from the boot ( trunk) of the car as you park. Or you wheel the across the road and drop them at one of the porters and then walk into the terminal

The shop sells all essentials - wine, tee shirts and toiletries…

Firstly you’re allowed to take one bottle of wine per person onboard. Secondly the wine shop is after the X-ray security at checkin. There has never ( in my experience) been a second X-ray machine as you board the ship.

You actually walk through the shop before going up the escalator onto the ship. You are already through security. There is nothing to stop you walking back off the ship and buying more. Repeat as necessary!

Not really. Outside of the Caribbean we only get $2400 off the cost of a cruise, excluding any WOW promos, your balcony discount… my “free” cruise is actually costing $300. @cublet I will buy you a drink 🥃 next September!

I heard that the increased sum was only for the first 48 hours. It’s never more than $8 for me too but DH won $101 with his once!

Yeah! Settling down for an enjoyable read!! We don’t go till next March but am a compulsive over planner too! We also use indirect flights so we can travel in business. For Japan we are going from LHR via ZRH on 🇨🇭 Swiss. Two people in business class for the same price as one on BA direct!! I’ll take that for the inconvenience of 90 mins layover in ZRH changing planes to save over £5000!! I digress. Back to reading 📖…

Large terminal, have never seen arrival appointments checked. Lots of seating inside if they do stagger boarding times.

Athens is a tent, it’s very stuffy with a few fans. Not a lot of seating, and if no room inside you queue outside in the sun. I wouldn’t rush to board.

Their instructions don’t work! So you have to call. I think I’m booked as something appears in my booking but there has been no confirmation by email and no adjustment to my OBC amount. Existing thread: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3023412-using-on-board-excursion-credit/#comment-67802208

I was on that one too! I sense a theme! Yes, it was a chunk of refundable FCC and I remember going up to the RCI lady that was in charge ( who was getting a really tough time from other guests) to thank her and say I was specifically going to buy a handbag with the cash to remember the cruise with. She was practically in tears with her thanks and hugged me, as she had got nothing but grief and abuse for days.

Mykonos is both dock or tender. I can imagine an itinerary with Naples / Chania / Rhodes / Kusadasi / Athens ports to dock at. I’m in!

Possibly because Harmony was not finished when she arrived in Southampton for those first sailings… it was a PR disaster. Wires hanging out everywhere, water flooding through ceilings, workmen drilling at all hours, shows not ready and … glass panel missing from pool deck leaving sheer drop to Central Park below. I was on those first 2 sailings. We got 50% refund for the first cruise and 25% for the second. RCI then lied and tried to mitigate the disaster by saying they were “shakedown” cruises as an excuse for things not being finished.. but strangely no one had any prior paperwork stating this!

Didn’t Wonder sail briefly in the USA first before returning to Barcelona?

Not new. They have inter ported in Europe for about 10 years…

Lol… in 2015… I guess asking for a new one every 11 years is being plain greedy!

Or they send her straight to the USA ‘cos we never get anything new in Europe!! Nice thought but I’m not holding my breath!

I am DBE but DH is not. Will he be allowed to board at the same time as me?

Strange. We always get the 4 separate little tubes. Sometimes they are even there waiting for us.

I did Harmony’s very first two sailings from England - The Ones Where She Wasn’t Finished —-! We got 50% back on the first and 25% on the second! I guess I should really see her when she is finished and there isn’t water pouring through the ceiling and glass around the edges missing! lol!

You have to call. The UK office dealt with this promptly today. We should still have some OBC remaining but this isn’t showing yet. I had sent a message via Twitter last week asking how to book as their FAQ instructions ( posted ^^ earlier) don’t work and what to do, but am still waiting for acknowledgment of message and a response 🤷‍♀️

Personally, my hair loves the gloop and it has never looked so bouncy! I try to use the gloop alternating with the stuff in the little tubes and I think gloop days are better. The brand is Salt & Breeze.
