Rare Captain-John Posted March 10, 2018 #127 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Had a really great time, sadly disembarked today. I'll do a proper review after our few days in Dubai and try to upload your menu photo. CF, sorry about your earlier travel troubles. I am also looking forward to your review - as we are just back from Orchestra and looking at planning our next cruise, we are thinking of doing the YC on Splendida out of Dubai.

Rare Beamafar Posted March 10, 2018 #128 Share Posted March 10, 2018 CF, sorry about your earlier travel troubles. I am also looking forward to your review - as we are just back from Orchestra and looking at planning our next cruise, we are thinking of doing the YC on Splendida out of Dubai. CJ, we'll be onboard Splendida in YC this day 3 weeks (hopefully!). If there's anything you want to know, I'll try to find out for you. I'm expecting the ship to be transitioning to suit the Chinese market, so it may not be quite the same as when it's sailing the ME routes. I got our tickets yesterday and we have got one of the larger, square cabins, so keep an eye out for one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff Bea - you seem to be one cruise/ship ahead of me at the moment - no doubt your thoughts will help in my decision as to whether to commit to YC on Splendida (this kind of gives away the ending to my Orchestra review!) Once I finish the review, I'm going to go into full research mode to see if YC on Splendida is a go or not on the ME itenerary - it's just an idea we discussed towards the end of the Orchestra cruise but so many factors in play to see if we can make it or not.

Rare Beamafar Posted March 10, 2018 #130 Share Posted March 10, 2018 We can discuss it further - on your thread - when you've finished your review, CJ. I don't want to interrupt it and I'm conscious of being off-topic here, so apologies to the OP and I'll see you later over on your thread. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No storm, like there was with Emma, threatening to clash with the Easterlies, this time. Looking forward to hearing how your trip went. I see the MSC for me app is still not available to use on Splendida. It looks like it won't be up and running 'til the ship gets to Asia. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerryincork Posted March 21, 2018 Author #138 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Well folks I am home again. Unfortunately for me I caught one of those dreaded aeroplane colds[emoji26] I haven't had the courage to look at my credit card bill yet. But I will have to see if I can bé reimbursed by my insurance Sent from my VTR-L09 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryincork Posted March 21, 2018 Author #139 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Another warning for you I think earlier in this thread there was a number posted for the cruise ship. I tried this number went through to voice mail. Call lasted 16 seconds. It cost me €25. My calling privileges were cut off as I have a €50 roaming limit. When I got home and checked my bill I saw the charge. Also this was identified as an Australian or New Zealand number. Just incase anyone was tempted to call the ship [emoji3] Sent from my VTR-L09 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted March 22, 2018 #140 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Ouch and oh no! It's certainly been the gift that keeps on giving this holiday for you! One that will live long in the memory. Good luck with the insurance, we received a small amount for the delayed departure but couldn't claim for anything else and can't claim from the airline as it was due to weather. Hope you enjoyed your time on board though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdowney Posted March 22, 2018 #141 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Glad you had a good time. Sorry to hear you caught the Aeroplane Lurgy. Happened to me last time too! You are home in time for Beast from the East 3.0 that we have been promised!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryincork Posted July 4, 2018 Author #142 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well I thought I would give you an update. I heard back from my insurance today and I am getting a payout of €470. This is for the expenses incurred for missing the cruise and having to pay for extra accommodation. I didn't expect to get the whole lot back so its better than a kick in the pants I say [emoji4] Sent from my VTR-L09 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
