jms2362 Posted April 25, 2008 #626 Share Posted April 25, 2008 For anyone sailing on this ship I was just checking pricing from Charlotte, NC to Gatwick and the price is $1,053.00 plus taxes for two round trip. That is a great price as they have been around $1,200 roundtrip per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope2havefun Posted April 25, 2008 #636 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks for all your lovely pictures everyone! Just a quick question if you dont mind about setting up on board credit account. Just wondered (probably a question for the Brits!) whether its best to let RCI convert the dollars into sterling or your credit card company. Which is the most cost effective. Does anyone know???

james_19742000 Posted April 25, 2008 #638 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Probably a dumb question, but I presume she is staying put in Southampton now until the 30th when she does her VIP 2 night trip, as I am planning on visiting Southampton tomorrow to see her and dont want a wasted journey :-) Thanks James.

nerysj Posted April 26, 2008 #647 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Any UK passenger would save some money if they have a Nationwide Credit Card or a Post Office credit card, as both of these DO NOT charge an exchange rate conversion fee on foreign transactions. I only use these cards when abroad, and if you total everything on every trip - it is quite a saving! So I will be ticking (I already have on line) the box that states 'I do not require RCI to make the currency conversion fee.' Every little helps!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warringtonian Posted April 26, 2008 #648 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Did anyone else see Carol Thatcher broadcasting from Independance of the Seas on The One Show last night? The item was a bit short but at least you got a glimpse of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirite Posted April 26, 2008 #649 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It would have been nice to have seen more of the ship than the poor interview. Anyone going down to Southampton today/tomorrow for the launch party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sddsddean Posted April 26, 2008 #650 Share Posted April 26, 2008 ...and how many mistakes did you spot?! Implying she was the only ship with rockwall, flowrider, skating rink, biggest ship (then adding 'plus her 2 sister ships'), almost a passing mention of 'Genesis'. I know CT was only saying what she was told, but surely someone should have done a bit of research. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
