suekay Posted September 15, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2021 We usually book cruise only, but in view of the current situation have booked a fly-cruise package direct with RCCL for the first time. Very few details available so I'm wondering if any recent cruisers can help. What is the luggage allowance ? Is it possible to per-book seats on the plane, and if so, how? Can you check in for the flight online? Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted September 15, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2021 WE fly this weekend. Luggage allowance with TUI is 20KG checked 10KG hand You cannot pre-book seats, they are chartered flights You cannot check-in online for the same reason.

suekay Posted September 15, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thank you, most helpful. We fly this weekend too (from Manchester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted September 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Terminal 2 in case you didn't know. Apparently its best to be there three hours before... RCI have their own check-in desks but there are reports of delays getting through security 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicben Posted September 16, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Also when you arrive at Larnaca airport make sure you get your bus number before leaving the terminal. Just a heads up all food and drinks including water are pay only for a 4-5 hour flight and very expensive so suggest getting your needs in the terminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was ever an excuse to buy an extra bag of Percy Pig's then this is it! hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegcurry Posted September 16, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Where do you get your bus number? Do you collect your baggage or does it go straight to the ship? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notts1964 Posted September 16, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2021 We’re flying on 25 September from Birmingham, and I’m getting rather concerned that we have had no details of flights or transfers at all. We fully checked in some time ago and have a set sail pass, but no other documents are currently available?? I sent another email to my travel agent last night to try and get RCL to release our documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to check in at the airport is your passport, Cyprus flight pass and your vaccination details. Flight times should be on your invoice The only issue is that Birmingham flights have been cancelled and moved to Gatwick/Manchester/Heathrow in previous weeks, with RC letting you know a few days before. So may still be worth getting your TA to confirm the Bham flight for you We are booked on the last cruise 23rd October, and the Birmingham flight is full as it's half term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see RC reps in the arrivals hall-check in with them and they'll give you a bus number Your luggage will be taken from you after you have collected it from the carousel, and you'll see it next outside your cabin Edited September 16, 2021 by gooners1968 missed words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us IT IS unusual, on previous cruises, including fly-cruises we have received the guest ticket booklet via email in good time. On this occasion we had to request to receive it plus it comes with luggage tags. No idea why RCI are being so lax about sending documents out but if you are booked via a TA, they will refer you back to them. Bear in mind it is not essential to have them, all you really need to check in at the airport is your passport, completed Cyprus flight pass and your vaccination details. As mentioned in a previous post, flight times should be on your invoice but we have friends sailing with us who booked direct with RCI, they had to chase up the flight details (there were two flights departing from Manchester one hour apart) its nice to know which flight you are actually on!

tigerwilf Posted September 18, 2021 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hi we are flying from Manchester. What are people putting on the cypress pass for hotel name and address. Can you fill these out before 48 hours before flight. Also anyone know how full the ships are. I heard 50% capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
