So far on Getaway “regular” looking cookies spotted atM and G and casino. Haven’t checked buffet at all.

Searching CC to see what practice on QM2 might be for being offered a comp beverage (tip only). 1 person said free drinks for all slot players, nothing for tables unless pit boss offers to buy a round or such. Another response was slot players receive comp drinks once they've reached a certain points level. If so, how many points to qualify? Do you have to check w/casino host or is there a set procedure in place? Thanks!

Open seating an addition since last sailed QM2. What are experiences with waiting times? Obviously it varies but in general are there lines?

Thanks! If you book in advance for a particular evening and then need to switch to same pop up say a night later, is original price honored or will they charge the extra?

Hi Bird, Priceless comment -as one always looking for shade, I admit I could never be as creative as the Bird! Thanks as always for such an informative rundown on the latest. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

Really appreciate your review as I'm going on Getaway in a few days and the last time was when she first came out! So things like the magic-dinner show in Illusionarium rang true. Good to know MDQ as good as I remembered it. It'll be good to experience some changes as well. Did you by chance have a M & G and could you share the list of officers from that card? Will definitely check out the musicians you mentioned! Thanks! Was there a house band/Caribbean band?

Got the same info yesterday, OBC down from 100 to $75 for Pearl and it takes 4000 pts to reach Pearl. Since my birthday is in April with 2 cruises booked I also inquired about the birthday free play. That's gone as well.

Are pop up's common on QM2 transatlantics? Any examples of what a typical pop up might be and what the cost is? What's the best way to find out about these - the daily? This is something new since I was last on Cunard and have only been on QM2. Thanks!

Are the lectures available on cabin TV on demand? Thanks also for the suggestion. Just sent an email for info on speakers for our crossing.

Yeah, it does say it will be "automatically rescheduled" once guest is onboard. I'm on the transatlantic and hope the show will go on. Excellent production. I don't know if Kimberly Locke (from American Idol) is still the lead. Every rendition of Donna was really good.

Probably redundant but I take it there's no way to "earn" drinks package through points like before?

It could be any balcony, if you "win" the upgrade, not just those cabins designated "solo balconies." I'm currently in that situation waiting to see if bid for balcony from solo inside on Getaway works out. Good luck! No clue on how the MC points work as I've not used them for a cabin upgrade.

You guys have sure gotten around recently! Too bad paths won't cross on Getaway in April but sure appreciate the good comments about Goran. Happy cruising!

Do the tuk tuks go from the pier all the way to the pool/lazy river area? Thanks.
