At the end of the European season there is also a short 3 day cruise boarding in Civitavecchia where you will debark with everyone else in Barcelona (before the dry dock / TA takes place) - ensuring hat the ship will still be pretty full even then.

No it wasn't. What a horrible thing to make up.

Yes, tonight I’ve just found out that I clearly work for every company that I’m not overly negative about on the internet 😂

Never seen them be able to fill so many ships at such a high rate for cabins. Mightily impressive.

You can indeed - Eurostar goes direct from London to Amsterdam ☺️

Really does doesn’t he. Must have got off a totally different anthem that I just have. Or maybe I got better service because I wasn’t determined to moan about everything and treat the crew with utter contempt? Oh and MSC is garbage.

This was trialled a number of years back on Navigator of the Seas, when sailing from the UK. Sabor Mexican was changed into an Indian restaurant for the season, presume it wasn't a great success as has not been repeated.

Jamies Italian has the flavoured versions, on the ships that have it.

Barcelona doesn't - due to the size guests have to check in at one of two adjacent terminals (B/C)

... and the E-Mail posted above clearly states that the website will be updated later today.

Hopefully will change soon at Royal - directly from a Senior EU Executive

Greece no longer have any requirements for testing - most lines have dropped the requirement to match but not yet Royal unfortunately!

As os Saturday 24th September, Greece removed their requirements for cruise ship passengers to test prior to boarding. Celebrity have updated their protocols now to reflect this, however Royal Caribbean don't appear to be yet. https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea/italy-travel-requirements "Please Note: Greece has removed its unique testing requirements as of Sept. 24, 2022. Please disregard any previously received communication with special instructions for sailings visiting Greece and follow the above guidelines."

You're able to use the App to book them if you wish too - I did this recently as soon as I'd boarded, and was all OK. You may not see as much availability this way though than if you're asking at the restaurants.

It can be either a Antigen or a PCR test - and can be done any time in the two full days before sailing. So you’ll be able to have it done anytime from Friday morning onwards to be valid. The exception to this is for unvaccinated children who need the test the day before departure (so Saturday) There’s no requirement for masks on any RC ships, except for when sailing from Singapore. (Where they are still required indoors)

P&O have already dropped pre cruise testing for certain sailings from the UK now, so it’s beginning to happen elsewhere 😊

If it was to happen, you’ll also get the extra crown and anchor point per night for sailing solo 😊

Alcoholic Diamond drinks kick in at the minimum drinking age for the particular cruise, be it 18 or 21!

Just to be clear, in the UK, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia it is 18+, not 21.

In Italy (where brilliance is based) you must isolate for 7 days if your most recent vaccine dose was within last 120 days, or 10 days if it was longer than 120 days.
