Bit concerned about effects of Covid on cruising but apart from pre-covid tests everything was as experienced in previous cruises. Anthem is a nice ship with lots of different areas and plenty of seating around the ship. If you wanted to do a quiz etc it was best to arrive early to get a seat however.
Entertainment was mostly good, especially in the Theatre. The Beatles tribute were very good ...
Hello everyone!
From a long-time lurker too shy to put myself out there I have finally decided to give it a go and post a little review of our recent Med cruise onboard Wonder of the Seas (my 12th RCCL cruise - for those who are interested I have sailed on Mariner, Freedom, Navigator, Explorer, Harmony, Independence, Anthem, Jewel, Rhapsody, Brilliance, Symphony and now Wonder).
Rather ...
I really had fun. But... I thought I would be able to see the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. I thought the Almalfi Coast was lined with pretty brightly painted homes as they show on TV. Nope. Not much time either. I give it 4 stars because of the ship itself which was nice. The food was decent. The shows, for the most part, were good. The cleanliness was great. The service and attention from ...
I hope in this review to give an idea to families with younger children what the experience of cruising with RC is like - this was our 1st time with them. By comparison we have cruised 3 times previously with Celebrity (all fantastic), once with P and O (disappointing) and once with Princess (similar disappointment to P and O.
We did a lot of research prior to the cruise and had high ...
I will start with a few basics, this was our first cruise on Royal, first cruise post pandemic and first non Caribbean cruise, so there were a lot of new things to experience.
About us-
married empty-nesters, we both still work ft, so this was a true vacation. We are not big on 'shows' or games and tend to unwind by walking the promenade or listening to live music at one of the smaller ...
Although the ship is a little old, recent renovations have kept it very current. The food was always amazing, the menu in the main dining room was so good we didn't feel like going to the specialty restaurants. The crew was always attentive to the passengers and happy to help us with any needs. The script is incredible, even without the stop in St. Petersburg, the Baltic Sea (due to the Ukrainian ...
Just got off from Anthem yesterday and already miss it!
Our last cruise was 3 years ago at Independence with extended family and we only booked this cruise 2 months ago wondering if it will be the same but it turned out to be absolute success. This time it was for family of 4 including myself husband and 7,11 years old children.
At terminal we were told it is about four thousand something ...
My wife and I chose this cruise purely because of timing. My wife works a lot in the USA and this week fitted in with her trip home in between various other family events. We would not have actually chosen this itinerary, but that wasn't really a big point of the cruise, we just wanted to get away and (mainly for her...) relax. We have also cruised with RCCI a number of times and have always ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary primarily. Wanted to see Greece and Croatia without finding a way there and different places to stay. Cruising is the best of all those worlds. Plus we got to see 2 cities in Italy where the cruise began. Win-win.
Was very pleased with our cabin (#9254) and the overall ship. Ship was clean and was very visible they took effort in maintaining the ...
Covid tests
Pointless as we took covid home along with lots of people.
Had to have a Covid test at our expense this year (last year Royal paid) no more than two days before. We were booked at Lloyds pharmacy which is £30 each but when I rang up they didn't have any lateral flow test kits in and wouldn't know if they would have them for our appointment. So we used MedicSpot this time as ...
