Geared toward what demographic? Early-mid 50s for us, American…

Can someone give me a sense of a typical theatre/evening entertainment schedule? DH was wondering what could be expected if we book a 14 night.

Sad to end a vacation but it’s always kind of nice to get home…

A good bananas foster takes the ick out of it too…sounds very similar.

Oh yes, the only place mushy old bananas belong is in banana bread. Certainly not in some of the forms you’ve seen.

I feel the choices in the “greens” department were selected for their hardiness…iceberg and arugula can usually survive a big longer…spinach too but that wasn’t on the menu. 😉

So, I asked a friend that travels/cruises frequently and am in contact with their TA. We will see if they can do better. 🙂

Makes sense but I don’t have a relationship with one so I’d be randomly picking. That makes me uneasy so I guess I pay more. 😂

DH and I are seriously considering a 2025 14 night Med cruise. The pricing seems fine right now but I’ve never sailed Cunard before, nor watched pricing/incentives. We are going with Balcony (non obstructed) and not the club Britannia option due to budget (flights alone will be almost as much as the cruise.) I’m guessing some of you know the ins/ours on best time to book/promotions/etc. I do not use a TA simply because outside of big box stores I don’t have one as I always book trips on my own so I have no level of trust with anyone.

That is not panzanella salad…lol

And you made it sound as if you were drinking water tonight.

We are seriously looking at a Cunard Med cruise for 2025…the idea of dressing up seems slightly fun. lol.

Agreed. Looks doable.

I missed pasta on the menu but can get behind adding lobster to pasta.

Well don’t let being full hold you back from ordering or we will all be disappointed.

I “think” that’s the timing of when it was served which gives a nice view on how long the meal might take.

Okay makes sense that they are giving something free. I read something about pre buying credits for jewelry or some nonsense. To each his own, but I’m not into it.

Okay, I’m not familiar with effy. What is it and is there a reason (like a huge discount) to buy jewelry online? 😂

Thank you! Queen Victoria and I’m looking at the Balcony Category but not one with an obstructed view. Yes, US resident and the price seemed consistent. I did read the find print on % reimbursement based on days from sailing. Just feel like I’m missing something.

I like most fish but salted cod salad? Hmmmm..,

That allows a better ability to consume mobile bar drinks as well. Kind of a symbiotic relationship.

Agreed!!! Either would be acceptable in my eyes. Like a pre dinner appetizer selection or dessert before dinner.

I am looking at Cunard for the first time so I have a ton of questions. In looking at fares, I’m seeing the option to add Cunard Care but don’t know whether it’s worth the pretty small investment? Mostly concerned what benefit there might be if I were to cancel before final payment is due. Also there are three fare options…selecting a balcony (non obstructed) but don’t particularly care where it would be located (distance from things, floor, aft/forward doesn’t influence us much (unless there are particularly unsavory locations.) Thoughts/opinions/experiences? Confirming that unless in a “Grills” stateroom nothing common is included (gratuities, beverage packages, etc?) Anything I’m missing?

DH wants a balcony (his condition for cruising) whereas I like to keep my money tight in my fist.
