Thank you for the pics of the ship. Glad to hear she is in such great shape. As shared we will be sailing next May in Japan. Looking forward to reading the blog on the cherry blossom cruise to get more information. Cheers!

If you buy the all inclusive which provides basic internet and classic beverge when booking. Watch for offers for upgrades before you sail. I just upgraded from classic to premium for $9.99 PP per day. Some hit it for $6.99 PP per day. Onboard it can be $20 PP per day or as in the sample above $18.99 PP per day! That does not include taxes and gratuity. 🙄 🍸 Cheers!

This may have been said before, you will need to go the Captains Club on your next leg to get new cards with your Elite Plus status. We had a change from Elite to Elite Plus during our winter cruising last year and the system is not updated to reflect your points by the next cruise. We were told it takes up to 2 weeks. I know they can look up your points on line ( showing points prior to the cruise you just completed), however I took a screen shot of our points from the website and then went to Captains Club where they added the past cruise points and produced new cards for us. Cruise is going well so far, thanks again for sharing making me get excited for our winter cruising! Cheers!

If you are staying in Southampton try the Pig in the Wall B&B. Right by the port and it is a great place to stay. Cheers!

Jumping on board to enjoy another Live! This looks like a great cruise and moving up to a Sky Suite along the way…. Wow! We enjoyed a Sky Suite on Edge back in the day and it was outstanding! Love the window between the bathroom and inside the cabin. Take advantage of the Retreat! I have to say I really like the infinity balcony too. Also, glad to hear about your Japan cruise since we will be joining DaKahuna in Japan. Safe travels! Cheers!

Signing on to follow! Will be interesting to read your thoughts vs Celebrity. We have that Caribbean sailing for 30 days this winter and then Japan next May all on Celebrity. Looking for alternatives going forward. Bet you wont get the lemon tarts on this sailing! 😂 Thanks again for posting! Cheers!

Looks like no other local beer since you are heading out. Next time. Cheers!

Enjoy your trip! Will be following along. We just returned from England. Spent 14 days sailing the Mediterranean then back to Southampton to go up to Wigginton just outside of London for 10 days visiting friends. We actually lived the local life! Small village with a great pub. If you try another beer try Side Pocket. A local beer from Tring. British Airways Business class is outstanding! Wouldn’t fly to Europe any other way. We sailed Apex this past winter in the Caribbean and enjoyed it. We love the Edge class. Cheers!

Thank you for taking the time to share a live! Knowing the time it takes after doing one, I really appreciate it! Your shared experiences were outstanding! Until next time! Cheer!

You will have priority tender based on your status. 😀 Cheers!

This is great! We believe in the same thinking. we took our Nephew ( God Child) on a cruise for his birthday. It was delayed a year because of Covid but still it was just a plus one. We have no children so the Nephews and Niece get spoiled a bit. Introducing them to the wonders and adventures of the world is fun! Cheers!

@DaKahuna, funny they were able to find a bar open in town on a Sunday with stores closed. Priorities! 🍸 🥂 🍺 😂 Cheers!

I looked into booking this excursion when we are there next month and it was full. Looking for alternatives, but I must say your photos show 2 very medieval towns. The scaffolding in the one church a shame but you never know what will be there when you arrive. Have to keep the buildings standing! 😄 Your overall thoughts of the day and what you saw? Cheers!

Jumping on board to enjoy another live! We will be sailing next month for 14 days on Royal out of Southampton. You say you have a countryside tour in Rome ( Civitavecchia ) did you use a private tour company. We stop there and have no interest in Rome since we have been there 3 times. Looking for a private excursion. Thanks and safe sailing with the Queen! 👑 Cheers!

We sailed on Equinox this past winter for 19 nights and Reflection for 14 nights. We never eat in the MDR, Tuscan has always been our MDR. We have sailed these ships many times and have to say that the quality of Tuscan and I will include Murano have gone down. With that said I alway say that food is subjective. What works for one doesn’t always work for the other. I would say go for the experience and make your personal judgement. I would make one suggestion, it those with you are meat eaters, I would pay the $15 up charge for the better New York Strip. It was well worth it. We were with friends from Texas ( meat Eaters) that didn’t upgrade and wished they did. Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!

Oh MY! Cheers!

Looks way better than the original ones. Cheers!

It’s Tito’s not Toto’s! 😂😂😂

It’s a vodka that I drink on the rocks with a slice of lime! 🍸😀 Thank you Cheers!

@xpcdoojk would you do me a favor? As said we will be on Anthem June 23rd and haven’t sailed Royal in a while. Would you ask a bartender what the cost of a double Toto’s is on the rocks. On celebrity it fell within the $ limit on the drink plan. Wondering if it falls within the Diamond Plus vouchers that we will have. really appreciate it! Cheers!

Following along, will be on Anthem June 23rd for 14 day Med cruise. Have sailed Anthem when she first set sail. Interested to hear your thoughts on the ship now. Take the block! We have two and enjoy having them. Not sure why you have to fill out paperwork. Ours just showed up. Cheers!

We will be joining you on the May 2nd 2024 sailing. We are in Aqua A1 and they are sold out now. 🤞🏻 Cheers!

WE spent 14 days on Reflection this past March. We have sailed Reflection 3 times and also Silhouette 3 times. I would sail Silhouette before I would sail Refection. Just for some reason we walked off Reflection saying we think it’s the last time we will sail on her. We enjoyed Refection last year for 14 days but the Reflection vibe just had changed. But each persons experience is their own. Like food very subjective. Cheers!
