Shame you’re not on the 29th Aug or 5th Sept, would have been good to catch up 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping Cruiser Posted August 8, 2021 #1254 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Insurance Could anyone recommend a UK insurance provider that gives you adequate cover for a Anthem British Isles cruise, as a UK resident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staysure is the most oft mentioned one. They will also issue you a cruise specific letter saying you’re covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was able to book everything we wanted, although could only get to see an afternoon performance of We Will Rock You, but was OK with that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ententecordiale Posted August 9, 2021 #1260 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I keep posting but my posts don't appear! Just heard the news that Norway is now on the green list for the UK. The 5th Sept journey was due to go there, moved to Scotland. I wonder if they'll rethink now and move back to Norway? We booked last week on the premises we were going to Scotland And Northern Island, happy either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardedladies Posted August 9, 2021 #1262 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Has anyone experienced, or had confirmation from Royal for an upcoming B2B with the UK cruises? I am wondering how they handle PCR testing for the second cruise in this scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyed Belfast Belle Posted August 9, 2021 #1263 Share Posted August 9, 2021 On 8/7/2021 at 7:31 AM, Cool1054 said: What is the Winterfell Experience, Belfast and why is it £273.00 per person? Winterfell is the Game of Thrones Experience - a lot of the show was filmed here in Northern Ireland. Point A marks where the ships docks on the Airport Road West to the Titanic Building Point B. If you are allowed to go exploring on your own there is a Public bus but it isn't very frequent (I think a day ticket is about £4.50). It would take you roughly an hour to walk down to the Titanic Building (roughly 3 miles) and it is through an industrial area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a B2B on the Anthem 3 weeks ago and the day before scheduled embarkation of the first cruise we had to go a nominated room ( Deck 4 Dining room) in our case. Eurofin staff are on board and they took the test ( swab in nose) on all 13 of us and we all waited in the room until the results were ready, took approximately 15 minutes for the results, thankfully all were negative then on debarkation day we had to meet in the Diamond lounge at 9.30am where we were issued with out new sea pass cards and waited in there until the ship had been cleared of all departing guests. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjmols Posted August 9, 2021 #1270 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Does anybody that has already done a UK Anthem cruise, do you by any chance have the daily planners to share ? Also do you know if in Star Class you still get the normal amenities along with the Genie? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. Were all the speciality restaurants open and things like ifly and bumper cars ? Did you also get reserved seating at the shows via the Genie?

kw1816 Posted August 9, 2021 #1275 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We're sailing on the 15th and booked the Skara Brae tour in Kirkwall weeks ago. Just had an email cancelling the tour and it's gone from the shorex list. Anyone else had the same ? We were *so* looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
