250k Views!, your blog is obviously a lot more intersting than mine

The TVs on QE will accept a USB stick so we generally take along a few movies/TV series to watch between our early evening trip to the Commodore Club and dinner, although we haven't watched any on the last few cruises, they were a godsend when quarantined with Covid. The local time is displayed on the cruise Navigation page. CH 40 ?
-
Also have a look at the Deck 4 balcony cabins (fore have a solid balcony and aft glass) these balconies are larger than the ones on the higher decks and very convenient for the theatre, MDR etc
-
I assumed it was from the same source as the water served in the MDR, I don't know if this is "general ship's water" or special filtered drinking water - Either way Jane was fine with it, I don't drink during the night so never tried it.

Rich Tea biscuits on the Queen Anne cheese selection?
rakkor replied to kmw350's topic in Cunard Line
If it's a hiccough, then it's one that gets repeated. We had exactly that selection on the Cruise to Nowhere post Covid -
More importantly have they stopped the abomination of serving Rich Tea biscuits with the cheese ? Asking for Jane as she needs to know!
-
It's a bit of a temptation, especially with the new ports
-
I was very disappointed with the Commodore's selection last October, so much so that I'm now going to wait until embarkation before buying in November - No more Fizz, Port or even Rose
-
A little reminder for the copious water drinkers, in Britannia, without the Drinks Package is that Room service will provide a jug of Iced water on request that can then be put in the fridge - something we only discovered recently
-
I created the Chart Room menu PDF while onboard in October from the Menu on the Cunard app, so it is as current as anything I've seen. Edit - Actually not true I created the Gin & Fizz one one the 18th October Gin and Fizz menu.pdf
-
It's from 15th October, but feel free to post a more recent one - It was only intended as a guide - my point about the drinks package is it's not very good value, unless you can consistently drink 7 drinks per day, which I couldn't and even less value if you have a half decent amount of OBC
-
Re: The drinks package, here's a fairly recent Chart Room drinks menu from QV to give you an idea of the prices (all are +15% gratuity) - I've toyed with the idea of a drinks package, but I would really struggle to make it pay - I could easily drink enough on a given day, but not every day, each to their own though. For our 14 night cruise the drinks package is $2016 for the two of us Chart Room Menu.pdf

500ml cans

We were back in Briannia for a short cruise last September, I'd forgotten what a nice "vibe" the restaurant had compared to the Grills.

-
Looking at that menu and reading some of the recent QM2 reviews, I struggle to see how people find the food boring and tasteless on board - I know food is subjective, but I'd happily order everything one that menu except goats cheese tart, since that is the work of the Devil
-
No, if everyone goes against the tide it's conformity - sorry for the pedantry
-
The QV Chart Room menu from last October's cruise list Fentiman's Brewed Ginger Beer, whether they actually have it available is a moot point, they didn't have any Dandelion & Burdock when requested. Chart Room Menu.pdf

The gym is free - some classes are extra chage

This was from our TA in 2019 - it was certainly open at 7am and the promenade deck is a nice way of cooling down after a run on the treadmills

I'm not sure it would, Whispering Angel was included in the Commodore's wine package, and those wines tend to be in excess of $60 per bottle or $15 for a medium glass. I've just had a look at the chart room menu from last year on QE and it looks to be just outside the limit for a small glass

Has anyone seen the PG bathrooms yet - are they still shower over bath ? If so I'm envious of the Britannia guests being able to get their hair wet - PG showers on QE/QV are chest height for me.
