3,000+ Club

3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. I've used a voucher a couple of times in specialty restaurants. One vouchers for 40% off a bottle (under $100). It's been available for around a year so they should be aware of it by now.
  2. We were amazed how nice various shades of light grey looks on the walks, very restful. We started with the study and ending up doing the whole downstairs in different shades
  3. When you open the app there will be three icons at top, a ship, a calendar and a person head/shoulders. Click on person, this takes you to your profile and bookings. At the bottom of your cruise it should read 'don't see your cruise, add it now' click there. This takes you to another page where you could add details of other cruises booked OR click on 'Browse our ships'. Click on 'Browse our Ships' This takes you to list of ships. Click on one you are interested in and it gives you a list of sailings. Click on this week and it will be populated with all the activities, dinning, bar menus, entertainment and excursions with prices
  4. Happy Birthday Dani !! Hope you gave a fabulous day and get to do all your favourite things . VID-20240214-WA0011.mp4
  5. Porridge pots from M@S too. Just add boiling water. £1 each. No need for bowl and use the spoon that comes with the in room tea/kettle tray. A lot cheaper and healthier than the overpriced buffet breakfast in the hotel
  6. Prices vary widely, but more to do with I think how many drink packages they've already sold or how many they think they will sell. If they think there's high demand then the price is high. For instance in a sector of the world cruise on Serenade the DP is showing as £52.50 pppd in my planner (including tax as UK prices) for 16 day cruise. But apparently Anthem ex Southampton is £76 pppd, 14 day cruise. My thinking is on the UWC most full world cruisers have drinks included, there will probably be a lot of Diamond and up who get free drinks too so demand for the DP will be low, hence a lower price. On the Southampton cruise, a 14 day cruise will be most people's main summer holiday, and us Brits like a drink on holiday, so I think the demand for the DP will be high. As far as speciality dinning then my experience, comparing Symphony to Serenade last year, is the bigger the ship and more choice, the more expensive the dinner. Symphony was £60pp for Chops and Serenade £46
  7. We've had an extremely wet winter with rain most days. But molly still needs daily walks. Yesterday we had a rare few hours of sunshine at a National Trust property about an hours drive from us. Petworth House and grounds. It has a large deer park with a big herd of deer as well as gardens and an amazing collection of paintings including many Van Dyck and Turners. Only disappointment was lunch was not up to the usual NT standard. Looking out over the Deer park. Zoom in to see the herd close up of the deer 🦌 the house. Only about a third was open to the public , the family still live in a wing of the house. the Chapel, parts of it are from the 13th century Petworth, https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/sussex/petworth
  8. Wish they would bring back those drink cards, 10 drinks for $80 or whatever. They were handy when we were pre diamond, and shareable too.
  9. Diamond Lounge also pretty empty on Spectrum , and this was in a cruise with over 5000 on board. Maybe half a dozen at most. They did have sandwiches and pastries there all day as well as breakfast and pre dinner snacks but still not enough to entice people to stay
  10. @Hlitner and anyone else with knowledge, does uber or similar work in France? We're in Le Harve overnight in July and thinking of train to Rouen one day and car hire the next. But a bit concerned about the scarcity of taxis to and fro port to station and car hire office
  11. I think we're going to hire a car as we're in Le Havre overnight. DH is happy to drive on the continent and we've been to France multiple times
