  1. Be sure to include the ships name and sail date in the subject line. Also I suggest you put in your reservation numbers so they can be linked, I usually email them two weeks before the date of sailing.
  2. If you can’t get back Royal can’t get back they use the same ferries/hydrofoils.
  3. This is great advice exactly what we do and never had a problem. Its only about a two minute walk to the ferry/ hydrofoil terminal from where the cruise ship docks. We always travel over to Capri under out own steam and usually the ship tours are also on the very same ferry/ hydrofoil. When you dock in Capri and exit the port turn right go up the hill for about 50 metres and there’s a kiosk selling bus transportation tickets for a few euros to Anacapri or there’s plenty of Cuban style open top taxis that will transport you up there.
  4. If you’ve never been it’s probably worth putting up with the transfers but totally agree that Honfleur is well worth a visit.
  5. We have found them to be excellent in both Chops and Jamies although we normally order steak in Chops Grille.
  6. They were all over Anthem when sailing from Southampton last year.
  7. Our experience is that all announcements are made first in English then in Spanish. These are both daily tannoy and at shows etc.
  8. We’ve been lucky enough to sail on Vision on three occasions always had a great cruise. Having said that our preference is for the bigger ships in particular “ o “ class primarily for the extra entertainment.
  9. Always had enjoyable cruises on both. But prefer Allure mainly because of the entertainment.
  10. If the tour goes ahead it’s an extremely long day but definitely worth doing.
  11. Personally I’d try and get a small group together ( maybe via your roll call ) or maybe six to eight persons and book a private tour with Romeinlimo and pay the extra for a guide. Superb reliable company.
  12. We recently returned from a Caribbean carnival cruise and although we’ve cruised many more times with Royal think you’ve given an extremely fair assessment. We’ve always thought the cruise lines were more similar than not and at present time we think that the food especially the on deck burgers and MDR on Carnival and in all most other venues is definitely better than what Royal is offering. Entertainment is similar Carnival is probably that little better on most ships except on “ o “ class where Royal is probably better than what Carnival is offering.
  13. I would definitely sail on Allure in preference to Anthem.
  14. You’ll be fine arriving then we normally aim to be there also about that time.You certainly won’t be the first in line.
  15. Definitely Barcelona The port is about a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport. Hotel suggestions Jazz SB Diagonal Zero Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona if sailing on an “ o “ class ship is regarded as day one with Rome ( a minimum 45 minutes transfer time over an hour in heavy traffic ) regarded as interporting, Be sure to pre book any visitors tickets you may need for Park Guell or La Sagrada Familia. If you have the time I’d recommend a minimum two or probably three days pre cruise. Taxis are plentiful and there’s also a very good metro system.
  16. We recently had an 11.30 embarkation time at Port Everglades checked out of the hotel at 10.15 arrived at the port at 10.30 and were onboard by 11.00. I honestly don’t think it’d be an issue.
  17. It’s very easy to do on your own. With a 10pm flight that’s definitely the way I’d go.
