  1. Yes, it's 24 hours normally to pick your seats for free in economy class (think they call this World Traveler).

     

    I think (memory is fuzzy) that if you have kids they'll let you pick 3 days before.

     

    I don't know BA's status tiers, but last time I flew with them I was OneWorld Ruby (the lowest) and you could pick 1 week out. Higher status would let you pick at time of booking.

     

    BA tier status Bronze lets you pick seats for free 7 days out, Silver and Gold free from time of booking. The only seats you can book for free at the time of booking with no status is FIRST class, you have to pay for Economy (traveller), Premium (traveller plus) or Business (Club).

  2. As Bob said if book on a through ticket your bags will be checked to Barcelona. Flying into Paris from the US you will go through customs but since both France and Spain are Schengen countries you should not have to clear customs a second time when you reach Barcelona. However on the way back you may have to clear customs in both Barcelona and Paris as you are then leaving the Schengen area.

  3. For 7 days. I think the first day depends on the port you sail out of. The last 2 we done were from NY and Tampa and the bars we could get a drink as soon as we got on the ship and that was before midday. I believe that if sailing out of Texas you have to wait until you reach a certain point before the bars open fully, except for some select drinks.

  4. I wish I could purchase the Sheridan's Berries liquor! But I found out that it's only being produced and sold in the U.K. Not sure if it's specifically just in England or the rest of the U.K. I'm totally going to hit up my next relative visiting the U.K.!

    I have bought the Sheridan's Berries in Aberdeen, Scotland so not just for sale in England.

     

    Hope you enjoy your next trip to the UK

  5. Welcome to CC

    1. For us the drinks package was cheaper it was about 4 cocktails per day to break even and if you have coffee and fresh juice as well then even better value in my opinion.

    2. Not sure we had the internet package so didn't look.

    3. Its a paid service no self laundry

     

    Enjoy your trip we loved Anthem

  6. I don't believe that I clicked on anything tonight to indicate *wanting* to pre-pay. In fact, I re-traced my steps and did not see anywhere this choice could be made.

    After you have chosen your cabin and click continue, on the next screen you select which dining time you prefer at the bottom of that page there is the option to select to prepay gratuities or not. At least this is the case when booking on the RC site in the UK.

  7. Travelling from the UK we always fly at least 2 days before as you never know. I have once turned up at the airport flying to Orlando (not for a cruise) to be told "yes I can see you in the system but you're not on the flight" turns out the code share used by one airline was different from the one used by the other airline.

  8. Just tried logging on to check our upcoming cruise on the RoyalCaribbean.co.uk site and a message comes up telling me that the RoyalCaribbean.com.au site is on holiday. You would hope that a company this size would know the difference between the UK and Australia, no wonder people complain about the state of the web site. Tried clearing cache and private browsing on Chrome and getting the same each time.
