Aware lots of issues been noted with this. 
 

First time I’ve logged in for a couple of weeks and distinctly different layout/look

Should I be worried that it has “no information” under my World Club membership section?

is it a glitch that will correct in due course or do I need to speak to Cunard?

Oddly enough, it's possible both are correct in one sense. Here is a partial quote of a post by Host Hattie from an earlier thread about "2 night mini cruise dress code". This may be relevant to Underwatr's question above as well.

 

 

Now we’re on board I can say that the linked information is correct and you’d be best to ignore what VP says

I’d even rang Cunard to ask who told me to follow VP info

Information desk staff have helpfully advised us that we could dine in the lido second night. Since we’ve upgraded seems like a waste of our upgrade to not have the dining option for 1 of the 2 nights on board 😡😡😡

off to try to find out where to hire Tux from

It looks beautifully appointed, very modern inside and gets extremely good reviews and has a fabulous roof top bar. Tempted.

Stayed here 2 years ago for my 40th

perfect location to be central to most things

didn't hear any outside noise from the room

roof bar was lovely albeit freezing (and they stop serving around midnight)

On QV 28th April - 2 days to Hamburg. VP site shows smart attire evenings, link above shows 1 gala night

which is correct?

Did the transatlantic to NY just before Christmas and stayed in an average NY hotel for 5 days after.

Thought prices on QM2 were higher than I’d pay on most nights out in UK but mainly due to the 15% (I’d much prefer to just see the final price on the menu), without that they are not far off town centre bar cocktail prices etc.

Yes, you can get cheaper cocktails/offers but the bars on board have a relatively captive audience so don’t need the same promotions to entice people to purchase the drinks.

However, once I got to hotel and saw the hotel bar prices were the same for a very mediocre cocktail in a glorified deli as on QM2, it suddenly felt like the prices hadn’t been so high after all and that it’s more the US:UK difference that makes it seem that way.

Basically, the prices are on a par with an average NY hotel price and on QM2 were generally made far better, had more options and a willingness to customise if you needed/wanted something different. 

My memories of the day spent wine tasting, cocktails before dinner, wine with meal and more cocktails in G32 is one of the best of the holiday.....my other half even dragged me up to dance, a first in over 30 years - it’s always been me doing the dragging. Managing to dance in heels during a very uneven crossing was an experience too!

So for our next trip we’ll pay as we go and have some days with several drinks, some with very few and just factor it all into the total holiday cost.

Thanks - all packed and ready, I think (1 week in Orlando has flown by!!!)

Getting excited to be on Allure now

Have allowed plenty time but thanks for the advice.

Am just not sure what to expect.

From posts I've read I know there'll be signs directing us where to go but do we take our cases to a particular place, what paperwork is needed at what point etc?

I think what I'm asking for is a step by step summary of what the pre-boarding procedure is. Or am I worrying about nothing and it's all really clear and I should just go with the flow?

Thanks

Never been on RC or USA departing cruise before. Leaving Orlando for Fort Lauderdale in the morning.....what is the normal procedure at the port?

Will be returning hire car at Airport (Alamo drop off zone), besides heading to the port not sure what to expect?
