We're on her in August, but looking forward to hearing about her beforehand. Noticed you live in Inverness. My Uncle has lived up there since the 1960's. He lives in the Blackpark area. He used to live on the other side of the hill overlooking the Firth in an old Shepherd's Cottage, but he moved last year. I adore Scotland (I'm a quarter Scottish) although I haven't been for some years. It's certainly a long drive! I've driven it myself from here in Oxfordshire, but down to Southampton is even further. Have a safe and enjoyable trip down. 🙂

Thanks for this. Sounds very similar to what Princess used to do. We've already downloaded the app so will check at the appropriate time. 😊 Once on board can you go straight to your cabin or not? Also, where is open to eat? Many thanks.😊

As a first time Celebrity passenger, can anyone tell me how boarding works when you board in Southampton. We're from England and travel down from Oxfordshire on the day, which usually takes about 1 and a half hours. We've done a lot of cruising, just never with Celebrity. Many thanks for any info. 😊

My Husband and I were on QV just before Christmas and all the Formal nights (and I prefer that term) were well adhered to - thank goodness. In fact, we saw staff politely asking passengers on a few occasions who were in the Chart Room Bar to leave after 6pm as they were not dressed appropriately. No fuss was made, and the passengers got up and left. Yes, you can dress in whatever clothes you are comfortable in, but you should then keep to the areas designated for more informal wear on Formal nights and adhere to the dress code for certain areas after 6pm. I do agree that the 'themes' can be taken for 'fancy dress'. Perhaps it would be an idea for people to use the internet to look up what 1920's styles, for example, actually mean. Items do not have to cost a lot. I purchased accessories from Amazon at extremely reasonable prices, and 1920's style dresses do not have to be 'expensive' (although that term means different things to different people). Cunard are, unfortunately, one of the only cruise lines that continue to have such a formal attitude, and it is what most of us travel on Cunard for. As most cruise lines do not now have this attitude, perhaps those people who prefer a more relaxed way of dressing for the whole of their cruise should stick to those lines and leave Cunard to those of us who love dressing more formally.

Do you know why? Is it a medical emergency? (By the way, we were on the cruise before you and were in a Penthouse Suite (R612). We thought Georgia (the lady Suite Concierge) was wonderful, as was the Suite Manager. We loved that every morning she would come round Sabatini's during breakfast asking how we were. We also enjoyed the pre-dinner drinks and food between 5:30 and 7:30 every night. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. 🙂)

Blimey! I didn't guess that one! That's unusual.

Why is Iona stationary off Bremerhaven? Lots of SAR vessels as well, plus a helicopter. Has someone gone overboard?
-
Is this only an Elite perk or do Platinums get an invite too?

Thank god for that! We're getting on Sky on the 29th out of Southampton and I was worried you were talking about our cruise! 🙂
