thanks every one for getting back to me, i know you cant talk about TAs just wanted to know if it was possible and it is thank you, as i have been looking it would save me £400 per state room (and i need 3) with OBC as well now just to decide if i dare do it.

yes i thought i had read something along the lines, but would of liked to hear people's do and donts and if everything went smooth and would they do it a again.

Hi looking to book a cruise (but its not till next year) the question is mainly for uk cruisers but has any one in the uk booked though a american agent before and did everything go ok.:confused:

Hi does any one know yet what show will be on?

hi going on thomson spirit on monday someone has just told me the pool water is salt water is this true :confused:

thats good to know thomson want £99 per child per week soda package:eek:

so can you take cans of pop on board ?

has any one booked more then one cabin and all have been next or near each other, we have booked two on the spirit if we want to be next to each other we have to pay £42x2=£84 i dont want to be next door but on the same deck would be great:confused:

we have never done a thomson cruise before and will be on the spirit in august do they have a sail away party or deck parties at night?:)

sorry to be a pain but one last question when do you find out what number cabin you are ?

how we usually do it is husband and daughter in one and me and the other daughter in the other ( then we swap ) but on rci they just tell me where they are and i ok it, as it will be the school holidays its not cheap and i know its only £84 in the scheme of things, its just the principle, thanks for your help every one. :)

hi has any one booked two cabins at the same time ? and whats the chances that these cabins being next to each other or even on the same deck:confused:

thinking of doing a b2b on either splendor of the seas or rhapsody of the seas in the school holidays two children 12 and 17 we have been on independence of the seas, liberty of the seas, freedom of the seas and a short trip on anthem of the seas all brilliant we like a busy ship, so which one is the best for us? both itineraries are great so its the ship that will make even better:confused:

johala_reewi thanks for the info we are on this in a few days time so excited can you tell me roughly how much cocktails and lager are? i cant make my mind up weather to get a drinks package are not

i have just had this situation we go at the end of April on anthem passport agency says if the passport is in date on your return then its ok but Royal Caribbean says six months so i went with Royal Caribbean even though i know they are wrong but i wont to go on my little cruise any way sent it off last Tuesday they got it Wednesday 8th April and it come back today at 7.15 am HOORAY panic over dont chance it get it changed

doing a mini cruise on anthem at the end of this month does any one know if you can still take two bottles of wine on board per cabin like i did last year for the indy but this was for two weeks ?:confused:

hi going on a mini cruise at the end of April stopping at Bruges and Le Havre the ships excursions are a bit on the expensive side for four of us has any one done these on their own and could you give me any advice or information to help us, we would like to visit Paris most of all.:confused:

ok so you have all put my mind at rest thomson it is, the next problem is majesty or spirit?:confused: i like majesty's itinerary the best but from what i have been told its not the best ship wise what to do ? has any one been on both with kids?

can any one help we as a family have only cruised on royals ships ( freedom,liberty and independence) this year how ever for two weeks in the school holidays its just too expensive for us so we had decided to go for a package holiday but for the same money we can do a thomson cruise on the Majesty sailing round Greece and Tukey and a weeks stay, Spirit sailing round Turkey and Greece the last one Dream sailing round Spain and Italy are the ships that bad all the ports are fantastic and we love cruising has any one notice any kids stuff on board it will be in august two girls 12 and 17 is the entertainment good also the food and are the drinks priced ok sorry for all the question but whens its alot of money i just want to get it right:confused::)

does any one know if when the anthem gets to the uk is there any such thing as a open day to have a look around the ship?

My Hubbie is now currently looking at the US deal where you can get wifi on board for 12-17 year olds for half the price - not sure whether this is valid from the UK or indeed whether he's looking at the right info, but I will call rcci tomorrow and come back and tell you on this thread.

 

Last year we did the whole 'find a cafe' scenario (we did the same cruise last year - you are in for a treat). i have to say, in some ports it spoilt our experience as all DD wanted to do in port was find wifi. We are currently of the opinion that to would be cheaper to buy her a wifi deal on board (depending on price) and then we wouldn't need to buy coffees and burgers and ice cream and transfers to service her needs. She could then choose whether she wanted to come with us for the cultural experience :rolleyes: or not.

 

hi did your hubbie manage to find anything out about the internet for 12-17 year olds? i think its about $269 for the two weeks cant make my mind up if its just a bit expensive or not :confused:

hi does any one know how much the unlimited internet is on Independence of the seas for 2 weeks

hi can any one tell me how to find their obc before you get on the ship, we have obc but i cant find any reference to it on the set sail passes or guest booklet if there is a problem i would like to get it sorted before we go:confused:

Sounds awful but I suppose she loves the ship so much, she doesn't really want to come off.

that would great if its true fingers crossed, but i know megan will wont to get of the ship as she dose not like to miss any opportunity to spend money but she dose have her phone glued to her hand:rolleyes: let me know if you find anything out, i am sure we will get a % off internet with being c and a we used it last time but then again we was only on the ship a week

Anyone know close wifi points to the ship in the following ports?

 

Cadiz

Lisbon

Barcelona

Valencia

Gibraltar

 

This is for a teenager who prefers staying on board with mates to seeing the delightful sights of these beautiful cities .... But needs wifi as though it were water.

we too will be on this cruise and have been thinking about this but you can never go far with out there being a subway or mcdonalds and you can always get wifi in these places, i cant make my mind up about whether to get a internet package or not as they are very expensive and the reviews for them arent very good :confused:
