What’s wrong with a cab 🚕? Plentiful and cheap and metered. The only time I ever used dot com for a car they never showed up! I do use them the whole time for hotels though.

It’s also good to create an “app” for this website just in case you aren’t automatically taken to the login screen https://onboardicafe.com/royal/defaultlogin.aspx#

The airport Post Office can be found in WHSmith, Terminal 3 Departures, Landside (next to Pret A Manger) and in WHSmith Terminal 5, Landside Departures (Next to the South Wing).

Dozens of cabs at the port. No need to waste time looking for your pre booked driver amongst the throng. Get in cab and go.

I caught an Uber from port gates. Not sure if they will pick up in port ( they certainly drop off in port) Uber in Athens are regular yellow taxis 🚕. It’s less than €20 into the city centre.

Singapore is hot and sweaty.🥵 I wouldn’t want to get on a long flight after walking around all day. Can you find a cheapish hotel where you can freshen up before the flight? Drop luggage at hotel in the morning; sightsee; go back to hotel around 3p at checkin time. Use the pool, eat early dinner, shower and leave for airport around 8p. Just a suggestion

My Australian application was for an Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) Travelled there in January this year. UK 🇬🇧 passport

Notable: It’s only on the Southampton short sailings where they don’t sell the drinks packages… on an ex-USA short sailing they do!! Us Brits and our booze eh 🤷‍♀️!! Even the short Anthem sailings now without drinks packages are still carnage. If that was your first RCI experience you would say never again. I would never use a short sailing as a good trial of what a product is like @Blue Eyed Belfast Belle; MSC is an excellent product with beautiful ships. I certainly wouldn’t dismiss them

What a waste! I’m sure you could have asked on your RC group if someone wanted it?

I’ve found Sunny Service Wash which is just beyond Chinatown, apparently a 20 min walk from Osanbashi. At least the name is in English which is encouraging ! What could possibly go wrong lol! Thank you for the translation.

It’s a turnaround day. As we are spending 12 n on a ship around Japan and then another 8 days on land. I can afford to spend a few minutes in a laundromat.

Post it from UK back to your house? I wouldn’t risk it catching up with you in Athens

Seriously?! So they take away a ship launched in 2008 and now give the Brits a ship launched in 2007!!! Jeez they really treasure that UK market don’t they ?! 🤦‍♀️

Brilliance dry dock April/May 2015. First sailing after DD 5/15/25

Have just come over on the transatlantic and had no issues with MTD at all. Walked up to the desk and were seated within a minute every time we went. Only on the first night did I see a queue.

It took the police 20 minutes to arrive in an international airport 🤷‍♀️

My handbag (purse) was stolen after we had checked in our cases. We were still land side. - an Algerian youth distracted us whilst his accomplice stole my brand new bag containing both passports, credit cards, cash, spectacles, etc. So hang on to your possessions- although my friend had her new iPhone stolen in the airport terminal too on another occasion

We are b2b in Yokohama so an ideal time to get the laundry done! Assuming B2B formalities are quick (🤷‍♀️) has anyone used a coin operated laundry in Yokohama they can recommend?

It depends if you have a Formica countertop or not 🤷‍♀️

When your online check in opens 45 days out you pick your Arrival Appointment time. Earliest is around 10.30/11 for those who want to rush on. Last is about 90 mins before sailing time. New AB parking 🅿️ discount code PARK2024 brings price down to £112.50 If cruise is in June hasn’t check in already opened??

Thanks for asking. It still weighs on my mind a lot for my stupidity. We submitted the insurance claim of over £2200 for that one second of taking my eye off the bag 🤦‍♀️

Largo della Pace

Need pics of the Sandro handbag please??! Glad to see you’re keeping hydrated with Aperol Spritzes!! 😋

Sadly, it is being reported that Captain James has passed. Smooth seas Captain; RIP

The block will be left on your bed during the cruise. If concerned it’s worth swinging past the LA early in the cruise to check you are on the list to receive it.
