Sadly I can see where Daisy is coming from. I have seen posts here which refer to Britannia guests as riff raff in steerage. I suspect that it was a dubious attempt at humour, but it doesn’t feel like that when you are one of the aforementioned riff raff. The people on these boards are very helpful and generous towards us new to Cunard. However I do get the impression that a very few posters do have a high-low mindset. I choose to ignore posts like that.

There was a sale recently, although I believe this is not something that happens routinely. We had already bought an internet package, so cancelled and bought st the discounted price.

Might it depend on whether the first named is travelling? I don’t think Cunard will change the name of the first named so may not transfer it to the second named passenger.

When I have bought a dining package on another line it was available for any number of nights from 2-7. You could choose which restaurants you dined in. That worked as all the restaurants had a very similar cover charge. In Anne I think it would only work for 4 meals - 1 in each restaurant, due to the very different charges.

Menus and prices for speciality dining as they appear in My Cunard for the May 10 voyage. Sir Samuels dinner $58.50 pp Sir Samuels lunch $31.50 pp Aranya $31.50 pp Tramonto $18.10 pp Aji Wa Pay a la carte $20 deposit to secure a booking, to be taken from the final bill. There are no details at present of a dining package.

I love a waistcoat.

I think it’s a very individual choice as each persons’ habits can vary greatly. For us what helped us to decide is the temperature of the area we are visiting. I don’t cope very well in the heat and will drink much more bottled water, juices and soft drinks in warmer climates. As with D & N I will drink water with every meal to keep hydrated. The 15% service charge is also a factor. I really think it pays to spend half an hour doing the maths before deciding.

I plan to take a spray starch that I use often. Would be concerned using a different one for the first time on a special garment.

So far no further info has appeared re pricing - except for the pay as you go prices in Aji Wa. No menus yet for Sir Samuel’s or Golden Lion.

The blurb includes the following ”. To dine at Aji Wa, we ask that you pay a deposit of $20pp at the time of booking. This amount will then be taken off your final bill on the night.”
