We have hired a car.

Not working for me either.

WOW! Thank you so much for this. I've literally just got off the phone. The rep added this package to my invoice so nothing to pay today 🙂 I had no problem getting this deal, I just said I was calling from the UK and she tapped into it straight away. Amazing - thank you again.

Just adding my experiences to the thread and to vent. RC doesn't make price drops easy does it? I'm on my 3rd agent today and she's just put me on hold for the 2nd time. I specifically asked for a price drop and she keeps quoting CWC T&C at me. Well, yes - I do know I booked after March 31 - that's why I didn't ask about CWC 🙄 And to rub salt into the wound, she's just confirmed how much I could have saved if only I'd booked earlier. I may have to give up for today and try someone else tomorrow. I really despair sometimes.

Mykonos can be very windy and the seas surrounding it can be unpredictable. We’ve been on 2 cruises that stopped at Mykonos and both were disrupted. The first was cancelled due to high winds and we had to sail onto our next port Ephesus early for an overnight stop. The second time should have been an early morning tender but the weather had other ideas. After a rocky morning at sea, the winds had dropped enough for us to be able to port. Lucky for us we departed later than originally planned so we were able to enjoy the beautiful sunset as we sailed away. So just a heads up really to have a plan B just in case. Have a lovely cruise - Mykonos is one of my favourite Greek isles.

Christmas Day onboard ship. What can we expect? We will be in Saint Lucia on Christmas Day. Planning on getting off the ship and taking an excursion but what will be happening onboard? Would love to hear your Christmas Day stories. Does Santa come? Is there a special Dinner?

Re flights - I have been trying to get through to someone at RC for the best part of a week to sort out a problem regarding cruise credits and I’ve just about lost the will to live - I don’t think I could cope with any more phone calls. Fortunately, one of my DCs is able to get a discount with an airline so I we went with that. For the hotel, I’ve booked with one of those online booking sites and can cancel anytime until the day before. I did have a quick look online at RC flights and they looked roughly about the same price as booking direct with the airlines but they only showed flights arriving same day of the cruise.

Thanks all. Now I can plan our beach day 😎

We are sailing on Rhapsody from Barbados in December and departure is 10pm. What time should we be boarding? Would we have to board at the usual mid day time? What time would muster be on a late sailing? Normally we are first in line to get onboard but we have never been to Barbados so we’d quite like to spend the day on a nice beach somewhere before boarding. Is this doable? Flying in the day before so won’t have much time in Barbados.
