Hi, I've been cruising since 1992 myself, but not anymore after the pandemic. My friend enjoys dressing up for dinner and good food. In the past, he has cruised on Cunard, but there are noticeable cost cuts there as well. Could someone recommend a cruise line that still has those two criteria (2 weeks no more than 2500USD/pp)?

I was on board Sky Princess (145 000 Gross Tons) last June and without any problem we visit Isafjordur via tender.

from 2026 and onwards, only zero emission cruise ships can enter the famous fjords like Gairanger fjord or the Flåm fjord. Flåm only allows cruise ship by order, so maybe HAL was late with their berth reservation, Flåm also favors smaller ships more than bigger ones.

Working with cruise business during several years, every 16. pax cruise line get one free. Cruise line´s rep. usually go free too for "quality issues".

I have been thinking about a cruise on the QM2 and would be interested in seeing Britannia restaurant's dinner menus for this year if anyone has any? Is there a charge for cappuccino at dinner? Does QM2 still have a lobster dinner and can you get another one without an additional charge, as is the case with so many other cruise lines? Have there been noticeable changes in food quality or selections since the pandemic?

My previous Cunard cruise (QV) was in 2007. Now I'm thinking about QM2 for next summer in Europe. Can someone tell me how QM2 (or Cunard in general) has changed since the pandemic, are there many changes/new surcharges/smaller portion sizes, etc.? And has someone perhaps cruised in the IF inside cabin category? What is it like; is it so that there are only 2 chairs and no couch? Porthole supplement (EF) for inside cabin is as much as 485GBP/person. I noticed that the QM2 dry dock is now in October-November, but what is the condition of the ship now?

Does anyone know if there will be a QM2 dry dock this fall and if so, when and what will be planned?

On my Sky Princess cruise, my waiter tells me about a passenger who ate 21 lobsters. The waiter had to make several trips to the kitchen just for one person.

I was more than happy with Novotel Southampton last June pre-Princess cruise.

Thank you so much!

yes

Does anyone know if shipwide savings coupons are tied to the cruise reservation or can I use them freely during the cruise? Does the staff check if you have the right to use them?

Thank you for your information. I appreciate it. This article will come out in Finland. My last cruise with Princess Cruises was in 1992 and yes I know than the dining on board and the cruise industry have changed a lot during this time, because I have had the opportunity to cruise with 30 cruise lines during all these years. And each of us has own favorities with different cruise line. Mine with Princess Cruises are cold soups and beef Wellington.

Hi! I would need some help from you. I'm sailing on Sky Princess on June 3rd to write an article about onboard meals and dinner options. So I would be happy if I could hear your own favorites on the following topics: -What's your favorite appetizer? -main course? -dessert? -What are your personal favorite restaurants on board and why? Thank you very much for your help!

I don't think so, because this summer in Reykjavík, for example, there are several days when there are three or more cruise ships in port. For many of them, Reykjavik is a turn-around port. Ports of Reykjavik and Akranes (about one hour from Reykjavik) will have 269 cruises ships and 280 000 cruise pax during this season.

Norwegian Prima is now in Akureyri, so it could be possible for Sky Princess too.

Only zero emission-free cruise ships will be allowed to call at Geiranger and Flåm. Both fjords has already opened applications for cruise calls in 2026 but not single cruise ship has applied.

From 2026 there will be changes for cruise ships in Norway´s fjords.

Which cruise ship?

So sad about the harbors in Iceland. Is Marco Fortezz now the captain? I will have this same trip on June 3rd. Has anyone rented a car at the Iceland destinations on this cruise? Have you reimbursed the price when the ship does not visit the port? We have a car rented in Iceland in a couple of places. I hope you can make it to Reykjavik!

Thank you so much for all this help. It will be "cold weather cruise" so maybe the Enclave´s hydro-therapy pool would be better choice?

Does anyone know what Sky's Sanctuary full-day passes include; drinks, snacks, etc.? Do we make a reservation on board or in advance?

Same hereillä no any reply from them...
