UK cruisers will get the 10% off the cruise fare (excluding taxes) if quoting the Blue Light or Military discount card number (I have both). Rarely can the price be beaten from UK or US TAs although I have once by booking on the US site. Recently booked a Princess cruise and have claimed $100 obc for being ex-military on a weeks cruise.

@Redking that does look like the Waverley😀. My in- laws saw the Silhouette yesterday in Greenock. We meet them in Dubrovnik tomorrow. Happy memories of visiting last year on the Silhouette. Definitely the best form of transport to reach Greenock. Been on the Silhouette three times😀 P.S You asked me if I was a Kiwi previously. No, but we lived in Havelock North and I believe I used this handle for a couple of forums when we lived there. Bit daft now!

There is a thread on the Barcelona Port CC section. We are off in September. I can recommend Prenetics but as we are travelling with IT illiterate friends will likely book at a test centre in Barcelona.

Last time we visited Naples we used joe bananas for positano-sorrento-Pompeii and had lunch in a vineyard. Small group. Walked down into Positano too. Good tour although the lunch was not special, although enjoyed by most. https://www.joebananalimos.net/cruise-port-tour/all-inclusive-pompeii-sorrento-and-positano Am currently considering this company for a Messina tour this Summer but I see they offer Naples & Salerno too. https://www.italytours.eu/shore-excursions/salerno-shore-excursions/ I could probably book a weekend in Rome from London for the prices Oceania charge for their tours. The prices are unreal.

@sgmn I imagine you get a discount from working within the travel industry? I always wondered if my wife could access travel industry benefits. She works for a healthcare accreditation company but mainly audits Cruise ships medical centres (not RCI). Handy living in Southampton ?? Count for travel industry work?? Naturally she cannot get any discount with those lines as that is corruption😟. Any info would be great. We have just achieved elite and I do find the Elite breakfast attractive. DW heads to the healthy cafe for a smoothie whilst I find Blu or the MDR too slow and find the buffet too busy. What are the options for Elite breakfast on Edge class. Have a Beyond cruise booked and only sailed S-class
