Lots of rumours flying around; but yes, they test on Jewel before you get off so you have a Fit to Fly so no reason why they wouldn’t do it on Anthem. *I think your relationship with this ship is jinxed! One of our favorite ships, not jinxed! I also just noticed that all Anthem September and October cruises have been pulled. Yuck. Was so looking forward to our trips.

FamilyCruiserUK Posted July 31, 2021 #1186 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Looking at switching our harmony 29th aug cruise to anthem 29th aug cruise. Although may not get the weather, with the way international travel is in the uk. I think this is the way forward. Cant cruise next year due to work so the FCC wont work.

I did find this as a possible alternative: https://nlcliniciow.co.uk/ Thanks for your reply, in the end we’ve booked eurofins, Solent hotel Fareham, which is the nearest. Just accepted 1/2 day off work and car ferry cost. Looked at the island clinic but was hesitant in case it wasn’t accepted. The company never got back to me to confirm if they met RCI required standard for PCR test. Such a shame Boots on the island aren’t offering.

hayleyp Posted July 31, 2021 #1193 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Anthem does appear on other sites but when you go to book it doesn't let you. With Anthem now appearing on UK cruise port schedules it's looking likely that the Europe season has been pulled and will continue with UK only ports. Hope I'm wrong because I was just about to book yesterday but it's not looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping Cruiser Posted July 31, 2021 #1198 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It’s looking more and more likely that Anthem will continue with British Isles cruises for the rest of this season. The Royal app has been updated showing the following itineraries: 19th September: 7 night British Isles (Southampton - Cruising - Liverpool - Glasgow - Belfast - Cruising - Cruising - Southampton) 26th September: 6 night British Isles (Southampton - Cruising - Belfast - Liverpool - Liverpool - Cruising - Southampton) 15th October: 5 night British Isles (Southampton - Cruising - Liverpool - Belfast - Cruising - Southampton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are canceling my October cruises I wish they would tell me. Royal's US website doesn't show any cruises from Southampton for September or October 2021, unless the cruises you are seeing are for UK residents, which contradicts from the UK said when they opened up for US travelers.

Just wish Royal would tell us what is happening. Edited July 31, 2021 by HighlandBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
