  1. Before I forget to mention, as I’ve wanted to share this in the past but I believe I’ve just completely forgot to.

     

    If you’re an ice cream lover, definitely give the ice cream in the Food Hall a try. 
     

    I’d argue it’s better than what’s offered in the dining room, and better than the machine on the other ships.

  2. Early start this morning with breakfast in bed which was very nice. 
     

    Lovely weather again so laps around the deck before doing some blackjack for a bit.

    Tonight they have my favourite show on, Imagination, so I’ll be setting time aside to see both shows. 
     

    Definitely have enjoyed the sea days this trip, no that I didn’t before, but the weather has just made them so much better. Really relaxing.

    What was the main in Sir Samuels and can I ask if you get a discount for frequent cruiser/user? Do you have an aversion to using the main dining room given you opt to dine alternatively every night?

    I use the diamond benefit to get $30 off

    dinner there, but that’s once per cruise.

     

    I have nothing against main dining, just felt like something different this cruise.

    I was just about to ask the same question 😅 after all,  he has occasionally   mentioned complimentary drinks in the casino 😅 

    I can get a few drinks on the casino playing the tables, sure. But I’m playing for a fair bit each day. Certainly given more than it’s costing them I suspect.

  4. Dinner in Sir Samual’s last night was again fantastic. Opted to try something other than caviar and wagyu this time:

    I fell asleep in the room early, which meant staying up way later than expected, meaning 3am pizza…

    Of course, it being a late night, it meant a late start. I woke up 20 minutes before the start of the blackjack tournament and managed to win it. (Well, tied in the final. We opted to split the winnings)

     

    Another hot and beautiful day at sea. Hotter than yesterday I believe.

    I have been watching some videos of Queen Anne inside cabins and the wardrobes look tiny. I am wondering if I need to reduce the number of suits I take. 

    For a solo passenger I’d say it’s no problem, for a couple we made it work.

     

    Planning for our world voyage I’ll dedicate a wardrobe to suits, and half of one to t-shirts, shorts, etc and keep the rest in a suitcase and rotate them out every week or so (washing them periodically of course)

    my 2025 one isn’t showing up under my future voyages

    So this and the balance still owed issue is down to the fact it can take up to 5 days for the payment to process, which given the size, is understandable. So hopefully all okay in 5 days!

    Perhaps Cunard have just got to the stage of assuming he is (or will be) on everything.

    They got the manifest from the head office, and I have nothing booked on either of the ships for that period in 2026, so this is the best theory so far! 
     

    (Realistically, my guess is head office sent 2025 and 2026 by accident?)

  7. Late start again today, will post photos of the daily programme once I get back onboard. 
     

    A grey but warm day in Cadiz, at least while I’ve been awake. We were allowed off just before 11am.

    No walking out of the port on foot today given there is a military ship in port, but the shuttle busses are taking us to and from the ship fine.

     

    I had this letter this morning, which is a bit confusing given I’m not booked on a 2026 World Voyage, and interestingly, my 2025 one isn’t showing up under my future voyages, so I’ll make an appointment to confirm all is okay with it later.

  8. Happy to report the show times for tomorrow have returned to 8 and 10:15pm respectively.

     

    Unsure if this is due to the now later departure or they’ve reverted what I was told was a trial change

     

    I guess we’ll find out when receiving the next daily programme!

  9. Well I just did our 2025 World Cruise final payment onboard, so feeling a bit surreal and definitely don’t think I’ll be extending this trip anymore! 
     

    A late start today, woken up by the midday announcement. We’ll be a little late to Cadiz, arrive at 10:30 - however, we’ll be leaving at 18:30 to make up for it. 
     

    Up a little on the blackjack today, and enjoyed a nice burger by the pool.

     

    Tramonto tonight for a change, looking forward to that as well.

  10. A relaxing evening onboard yesterday, another great dinner in Aji Wa where I saw and felt us go into a little rougher weather as the meal went on (from 1.4m to 2m waves)

     

    IMG_8379.thumb.jpeg.a16ea4f596986908420a5c939456c1ce.jpegIMG_8381.thumb.jpeg.8508b6d3936ac2725e2d116ab44625b4.jpegIMG_8382.thumb.jpeg.94deb10ee699de600af7e91bbdc80b80.jpegIMG_8385.thumb.jpeg.afb6e0af08ffdefc1762ef8a089719f3.jpeg
     

    I cancelled Noir as I wasn’t particularly in the mood to sit down and watch something for an hour, so I relaxed at the bar and also enjoyed some blackjack.

     

    I’ve actually been looking for drinks outside of the drinks package as well, as unfortunately all of my drinks from the kindness of the casino have been “free” anyway! 
     

    To counter this I’ve been recommended either Johnnie Walker blue label or champagne cocktails, the latter I chose last night.

    Show time have changed for this cruise now 6 and 8. Apparently decision of the cruise director , ‘to enhance the customer experience ’ . Time will tell how popular it is . Audience for the first show yesterday could only have been around 100, interesting to see how many turn up today.

    Apparently it’s only temporary, or so I overheard. 
     

    They were saying people weren’t finishing dinner in time for the shows!

  12. Grey first day at sea today, with little movement of the ship. Highest wave height so far has been 1.7 meters, so definitely not bad.

     

    Signed up for archery this afternoon and the back of house tour again, as while I’m sure not much will change, I’m sure there’s new information to be learned + it’s a very fun way to kill half a sea day.

     

    The watch shop had an unveiling of Rolex’s today, doubtful I’ll be making a purchase though.
