I always go against the main flow of strollers when jogging/power walking, otherwise you are constantly saying excuse me, and waiting for people to hear you or bother to react. Or worse you think you can easily pass on one side or other and they suddenly veer across your path

In the buffet it really matters that others passengers wash their hands. Hence I avoid it like plague. In waiter served venues it far more important that staff wash their hands. I trust training of staff. Apart from that the covid lesson of keep hands away from face and wash before eating serves me well.

P&O prices have come down, yet people complain foods not as good as it used to be .......... You can eat everyday in Epicurean and not spend anything like Saga or Fred money. Indeed in real terms you can eat every night in Epicurean and spend less than you used to to eat every night in MDR. As an experiment have booked Arvia Mediterranean cruise next month, a rear corner suite, have booked Epicurean, Sindhu, Limelight and Sushi (can't spell mizuh...) every night for £750. Total cost still less than 2 weeks in an ordinary cabin on Saga. Waiting to see how it works out.

Looks like they are getting anyone with high priority on very early. Hope it goes smoothly.

I'm not sure there will be much if a loss, may not look as traditional but QA also has many advantages over the older ships. Better bathrooms. More dining choices .

I don't think so . On P&O the two mega ships, have significantly less crew per passenger than older smaller ships. Which is what gives them scope to reduce prices. QA has a similar staff to passenger ratio as other Queens, so expect same service and same cost . The only thing that can make it cheaper is lower running fuel costs of a newer ship.

The answer is simple, P&O continue to allow you to bring drinks on board but charge say £10 or £15 corkage on any bottle you bring in. You pay corkage online in advance and show receipt.

Just watched a few videos of QG bathroom. Some may say I'm picky but shower does look a bit small. Looks very hard to stand back as you turn it on and stay dry until it warms up. Like a walkin shower with controls not under the shower head. Picky yes but this is QG.

The solution to facing wall in QG , is to make it a mirrored wall , will also make room seem wider.

first port of call is a well known English saying for the first place I would go.

Given only 825 in theatre, may have to follow big ships and have 3 shows a night. Perhaps with pre booking via app

Yes , never thought when I said first port of call, meant first port of call ie first thing I would do, would be a shop to...... This is one advantage that was never discussed of buying air tickets via Cunard. Although the airline would be the one legally responsible to reimburse you, there would a moral responsibility for Cunard to be accommodating as their agent had caused problem.

Completely agree, but not sure about rented clothes . First port of call would be one of well known shops to buy the basics, underwear , nightwear, shirts , for a week ...... A tux would be bottom of list.

In general looks nice , glad they made it a modern ship not a pastiche 50s liner. Faults QG, Restaurant for seatstwo, shower in QG too small. Grills terrace seems heavy on chairs and tables light on sunbeds. Still worry about grills terrace becoming a walk wayfrom front to back

Completely agree, I can't sit on banquette, also I would feel obliged not toletmy wife sit facing wall, she like to see what's going on. So will not be cruising QG on Queen Anne
