Sorty I never went to the spa.It’s not an upsell area that interests me in any way. I don’t even know where it was.

I wasn’t allowed to transfer to a Cunard cruise recently so lost the deposit.

No difference

Interesting thank you

Glad you were able to book for next year and does seem a good deal with all that OBC

Well I was excited today when I got to my fabulous solo cabin on QM2 to find 2 bottles of Pol Acker. Win for me as one of the minority on here who like it.

They are all the same Bears just with the name of the ship on them. There are also different special edition ones wearing different outfits e.g. Prince’s Trust one. They are all one size. You can also get a dog with a QM2 kennel coat on and a generic cruise ship in plush fabric. All cost around 22$

I was on the next crossing and was fine. You can’t prevent people bringing it on unfortunately.

It is my understanding it’s not just the most senior officers its senior officers too.

It’s all subjective even the definition of great. Just wait and see who is presenting is my opinion. One thing I never do is walk out mid way if it’s not too my taste. To me that’s plain rude. I have only been disappointed once as I have mentioned before. I don’t see any point speculating who they could be. I have only once had a repeat speaker and that was the delightful Maureen Ryan. Would love to hear either Chris Frame or Steven Payne but never been lucky enough.

Me too what a treat.

I have heard her speak twice now fascinating also attended a small Q and A with her in Carinthia lounge

Good I am glad you got a booking . Watch out for when it changes. The app is very fair and won’t let you book for the same show twice.

Never has been any different. I don’t like paying double or 175% as a solo for my cabin but if I want to cruise then that’s the cost to me. I have never had double OBC. Depending on the offer if it’s per person it’s just one allowance and per cabin well speaks for its self.

Cunard offer drinks packages on shorter cruises but the under 5 nights daily rate is more then than 5 nights or more price. Last time was 95$ a day I think for under 5 nights.

Glad you are settled on O K. Looking forward to hearing about your dining tonight. Book Bright Lights as soon as you can. Might be open today for booking.

Not when the berth has been given to another cruise line the schedule was forced to change.

How exciting. I would enjoy paying guess the cruise line.

Very little doesn’t interest me and I can only remember one being awful - a talk on wellness and heathy eating. Didn’t help she had spelling and grammar mistakes on her slides which was a no no for me what ever the topic was.

Yes I tried to change a Cunard one that was only a few days over the 12 months and the computer said No so had to chose another one within the 12 months window. Win for Cunard as I was so up for the original choice I ended up booking it anyway.

Single balconies on Iona and Britannia are not worth the small saving. Never had an solo inside. I always now book a standard cabin and take the hit and enjoy the extra space.

I am a bit nearer to Southampton than you and it’s steady rain here too at the moment.

Yes I just had to renew for a December sailing but looks like mine lasted for a year as two sailings in September and October were applied against last years upload but needed to re upload for this application. Upload was approved just waiting for OBC to be applied. No drama. Just used an image of share certificate from my phone. Edit Since writing this just checked my emails and I have received a new booking confirmation overnight showing the OBC. Started process on Tuesday and received it today so really only 4 business days plus Saturday. Definitely quicker than before

Yes but it goes up as you move through the tiers. My allowance covers internet for a 7 day cruise and if I use my share holders OBC on a 14 nighter I am still left with dollar up on the deal . There are other useful perks too.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did. Very similar itinerary. Will look forward to your updates.
