Thewild_cruiser Posted April 14, 2021 #676 Share Posted April 14, 2021 All very strange, I heard that they weren’t going to get UK gov approval because they weren’t mandating vaccine and they have no prior experience of dealing with that unlike MSC. We shall see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules did state only one entrant per household but not sure how they'll enforce that... 🙂 Fingers crossed to all others taking part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD449 Posted April 16, 2021 #680 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Are you allowed to get off at the ports? Or is it paid excursions only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine because it's domestic that you will be able to explore. The excursions for Liverpool are Beatle themed and there is a Giants Causeway one for Belfast amongst others. Not sure about Greenock and Kirkwall as I am not on a cruise that calls at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that but yes I knew too , we had been on Dream and Celebration which is why I said the old old ships 😆. We had the honour of being on the Legend’s final RCI cruise and met one of the operations managers from TUI at the key handing over ceremony . I have photos of a wonderful send off they gave Legend . They still don’t have a lot of balconies with the current fleet 😊. TUI refused the offer of Vision of the seas because she had not been upgraded like Splendour and Legend when they converted deck 6 OVs into balconies many years ago. I had that info on good authority from one of the HDs at RCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profdot Posted April 24, 2021 #690 Share Posted April 24, 2021 We have a food and wine cruise booked on Anthem around the 12th of September out of Southampton. Two questions: we are Americans. Do you think it will be a "go" for us? RCI announced this month that everyone will have to have a covid test 48 to 72 hours before sailing, but we booked a flight and hotel package two days ahead. How can we get a test in London and get the results back in time? We are fully vaccinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
