It is a challenge for sure. The manual just makes it extra difficult. The first time I drove on the left was in 2020 when I went to Ireland by myself for three weeks. Drove all over the island and the narrow mountain roads were death defying. I can’t believe they think they’re meant for two vehicles at a time. First few days are terrifying then it was exhilarating. I’m hoping it’s like riding a bike 😬 But if the rates change I’ll definitely do the car or bus service.

Ty so much! I’ll look into it.

They are, but I think I saw enterprise uk had a car for 230 pounds for two days. To get a private driver was over 400 pounds, plus we’re stranded once we’re at our hotel. I honestly wish I had it where we fly into Southhampton but out of Heathrow, which is where we’re currently flying in and out. We’re staying in London a week after the cruise, so we were just going to try the train back into London when we disembark. but I really want to go to Lyme Regis and bath, being such a huge persuasion and Jane Austen fan. I’m totally going to drive my husband crazy reenacting all the scenes on the Cobb 😂. And your blog was so helpful, btw, especially about Bergen being a long walk to the city center. I’m really debating, also, on getting the u limited dining package. I feel it would be worth the money to be able to try them all.

I haven’t read yet but just want to say thank you for writing all this out. We’re going on the anthem out of south Hampton July 7-14, but going down to Southhampton two days early. As of now I’m tempted to rent a car for two days because the alternative seems very pricey. How did you get down to Southhampton if I may ask?

We did wonder of the seas last month and our attendant told us he was going to clean our room in the evening, but put the sofa bed away in the morning. He only did that on the first day and for the rest of the week he just left it out. The problem being, not only is the room small, but the sofa bed blocked the balcony so not once was I able to sit out there to enjoy it. In hindsight I should’ve went to guest services but didn’t want to be a ‘problem’. That was my sixth cruise with royal and by far the worst. They need to address this stateroom business.

I’m guessing the prices are high because it will be a brand new ship in 2024/spring. In 2025 the prices should be lower, so a good deal for you!

They are..I booked the icon for next spring on ‘next cruise’, March 2024 and for two adults and a teenager in an ocean balcony was $6200 usd. So I just upgraded and did a suite (first time ever) in the family surf suite. They’re not much more at that rate plus you have the sky class benefits.

I just bought 6 of them to take with us for the wonder of the seas next week. I fly out early to Barcelona, too early to be able to go to a Walgreens. Do you know if the emed test can be done at 6am? Not sure if the medical professionals are working 24 hours or between certain times.

From your lips to God’s ears 🤞🏻

strange, I’ve never been charged in selecting a specific room. Either I can or can’t—meaning, if I go with the cheaper option with ‘guaranteed ocean balcony’ then it’s picked for me. Otherwise it has you select the room number on the map before buying your cruise. The only time it’s more money is if you select a room above the class you initially selected.
