I figured it was obvious, so I avoided directly admitting I couldn't figure it out. 🙂

I searched the forum for another instance of "BC" and couldn't find one, other than category BC. I'm sure that's not what was meant here.

Total agreement with posts 13 and 17. Don't try this.

Sir Samuel's has some surprisingly good, albeit limited lunch choices. My daily program archive confirms they are open at embarkation. However, it is never listed as a dining option and I can't say whether they were serving food the first day or not.

Princess emailed me about an upcoming cruise, encouraging me to explore dining reservations. There are no available time slots. This is not surprising as the cruise isn't until 2026. Thanks for the spam, I guess.

Thanks.

I'm late to the game on the whole Ben and David thing. The last time I was on MSC the Yacht Club was a private area, open only to passenger who had booked Yacht Club cabins. Nowhere in all the coverage and discussion of the "incident" did I see an explanation of what basis the gentlemen in question had for being in the Yacht Club. Did they have a YC cabin, or is the YC no longer a private area? I assume they didn't just sneak in. Otherwise, MSC would have had no basis for the apology they issued.

I used to be able to get a list of qualifying sale voyages in tabluar format. Does anyone have this for The Americas Sale?

I had transferred some deposits and started to lose track of what was what. I had a record of one more deposit that I knew I had paid for. All of them showed up as valid bookings in My Cunard. I appealed to my CVP for help. She replied that two of my booking numbers were not (or no longer) valid. After doing some digging I agreed with her accounting. Additional digging turned up one more valid one, which brought me to the total I was looking for. Observations: It's curious my CVP didn't point out the booking number that was missing from my original list. As mentioned, I had previously validated the two "bad" numbers in My Cunard. I checked again and they STILL show as current, paid voyages. Of course, as has been observed many times before, other cruise lines allow you to log in and see all your bookings concurrently. If Cunard had this basic functionality, none of this research would have been necessary. Sigh.

Great, thank you.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not hearing that anyone has booked on Day 0 through a TA.

Thanks for the responses. My cruises in the last few years on other lines have always had paper napkins (in addition to cloth) in the buffet and plentiful trash containers. On Ruby I never saw paper napkins in the IC; maybe cocktail napkins by the coffee.

I know I should know this, but I'm having a brain freeze. CWC members can book new voyages a day ahead of the public. You can do this through a Cunard CVP or by phoning the call center. Can you do it on line? Can you do it though a TA? Thanks.

One paper napkin vs. having to wash a cloth napkin and a set of cutlery? We have different concepts of waste. I should clarify "fully booked on line". I realize that fully booked on the app doesn't mean fully booked in reality. What I meant was showing fully booked on the app.

Agreed, it wasn't a big deal. In theory, we might have adjusted some plans based on a future menu, but that's probably overthinking. The point was it was implied it would work, I was told it should work, and it didn't work.
