We don’t need double RCI points 😆. Yes, we’ve booked Sky Princess and used some goodwill bonus future cruise credits from a cancelled March 2020 sailing. So it’s a free trip including drinks. We booked Anthem as we wanted to see the ship and got 20% discount. I guess we’ll just pay as we drink, I’m sure it won’t be as much as package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 6 year old thought it was fantastic. As for the drinks, we got a soda package for the little one and as wife is T-total just paid when i wanted a drink.

sgmn Posted May 15, 2021 #767 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Does anyone know if Anthem's crew will be vaccinated? The rumour of some of the Odyssey's crew transferring to Anthem seems to imply that they haven't been vaccinated yet. As far as I know companies can't purchase the vaccine in the UK yet as we are still working our way down the age groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on the Odyssey should be vaccinated by now - they were ready to sail with passengers in less than 3 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew on Odyssey who do not have US visas will be transferred to Anthem. And any Anthem crew who have US visas will transfer to Odyssey. Odyssey will then sail to USA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigRoger Posted May 15, 2021 #770 Share Posted May 15, 2021 So frustrated with RC not being transparent about their plans (even if they are intentions that might not fully come off due to Covid case levels in given countries)…. Kept looking at Anthem from Soton but pricing for overall package with add ons still is just too high (celebrity silhouette from Soton is actually better value and higher quality)…. Really annoyed about no info at all about Harmony plans since it came out of dry dock so cancelled 2 sailings on Harmony today and one of Jewel Cyprus…. instead went for certainty of MSC Yacht Club on Virtuosa instead…. (Although still on for one sailing on Jewel from Cyprus!!!!)…. Just wish they would be honest about plans for Rhapsody and Harmony….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted May 15, 2021 #771 Share Posted May 15, 2021 @BigRoger next Thursday we will find out exactly how MSC are handling the protocols and procedures and how well it goes on board 🤞. Eagerly watching! Certainly their cruises are far better value than the RCI prices! I couldn’t justify YC on a ship that is >20% capacity though ( even though I wanted to!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand why they cant get set some plans in place in regards to vaccine, testing on board, masks etc. Its not hard to set the bar and then lower it. People have flights and hotels to book and sort and i dont wanna be doing that before RCL cancel.....getting very frustrating at their lack of....well anything.....oh and the average of two emails a day i get advertising future cruises....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you and I know what to expect with MSC with regards food,ships,service , I cannot wait for our trip in August 😎. Wonder how many RCI Status Match crossovers you will bump into on Virtuosa who will be bending your ear 😆. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
