Can't see it going over for a few sailings to come back again.

My company won’t cover me whilst the U.K. government say we can’t cruise. Neither will ours and unfortunately are not in a position where we could travel without cover. Fingers crossed that Little Britain is right and the advisory will be lifted by then. We would definitely have booked one of these but we are on the Reflection transatlantic in April (if it sails).

Rare FionaMG Posted October 25, 2020 #57 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Something I'm wondering, and I know nobody knows the answer to this but just for argument's sake, let's say the UK government is still requiring 2 weeks' quarantine on people returning from certain countries and that Belgium and/or Holland are still on the quarantine list, would quarantine actually be required given that the ship is likely to be operating as an essentially Covid-free bubble?

I suspect then she will be a cruise to no where, with no stops.... but who cares! Of course the complaints have already started about no Deluxe drinks packages being sold on ex UK short sailings ....!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodgem Posted October 25, 2020 #59 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Anyone know if Eavesway coaches are doing transfers for the 3 night cruise? My parents want to sail but only if they can travel down by coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cublet Posted October 27, 2020 #67 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hello, So I received the customary email from RCI inviting me to lend them money by buying drink/food/excursions etc for the Odyssey. Only problem is none of the features worked and the text said to try booking on board. So much for the 'sail sale'. I'm not upset, just curious as to what the prices were - you'll not find me in a specialty restaurant since they got rid of Portofino's. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I've experienced the Degenerates, sorry - Deluxe, Drinks package twice: Once on Indy that was a TA's promo cruise and once on Celebrity Eclipse and the behaviour on Eclipse was far worse.

Roger88 Posted October 28, 2020 #70 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Deluxe drink packages are a waste of money in my opinion. You wouldnt drink that much anyway and having this cheap welcome drink is such a waste. I would rather go to the bar and spend 50-100 bucks but I will drink some nice cocktails and drinks the ship may offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jevsy Posted November 3, 2020 #71 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Did anyone notice on the announcement from RCCL last night that it said after the bit about suspension of cruises that Odyssey was cancelled up until April 17th? I read it out to my husband, and then this morning before he went to cancel our hotel pre-cruise he checked and the date had been changed to March 26th? Wish I'd taken a screenshot as I do of most things.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the original odyssey sailings that were cancelled until 17/4... then they added in these new shorties ... and in true RCI style, forgot to update the website! They have issued Twitter clarification and apology now, and updated the web! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd imagined it the next morning and then is it or is it not cancelled?! Hub said no he can still book it!

Rare little britain Posted November 6, 2020 Author #74 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Usually you cannot buy DDP on 3n sailings from England; but it is now showing for sale at £63.73pppd!!! That is $83.49!!! Edited November 6, 2020 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
