We are regular cruisers with Princess and think they are fabulous but booked the Royal Caribbean (RCCL) as there were a party of 7 of us, myself & disabled hubby (in an electric wheelchair), 2 kids, 2 parents aged 70 & my 38 year old brother, and we got a great deal on the holiday. Now I wished Id stuck to Princess and paid extra!!

we travelled from Edinburgh to Venice on Jet2.com (booked through RCCL).

when we arrived at Edinburgh airport & went to check in with Jet2. we checked in as a party of 7, then after weighing the cases(all were under weight limit) and checking the passports we were told we would need to pay for our checked luggage. i explained that we booked a package through yourselves & RCCL and this was all part of our package. she didn't understand what i was meaning and she called over a supervisor who never listened to me and just kept repeating that the bags have got to be paid upfront before we check them on. I showed her our paperwork that we printed off and still no further forward. 40 mins later she made a phone call , came of the call and said to her supervisor that we had paid £10 for each cases online at jet2 and that we were free to go!!! This is something i obviously never done and Ive no idea where she got her information from. but she let us go through anyway. Read more
