3,000+ Club

3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. The tub/shower combination is the reason we no longer get a full suite on Queen Mary2. The tub/shower is very deep, and neither DH nor I can get in or out without great difficulty.
  2. We always fly in 3 or 4 days pre-cruise to stay at the Riverside. If it's a shorter cruise we stay there a few days post cruise.
  3. We also love the conveniences of the large bathroom with 2 separate vanities and the large glass door shower and separate tub. As you say, great for guests with knee and hip issues.
  4. We just booked a cruise on Enchanted for May, 2024, and luckily we got an aft penthouse. I assumed that 360 was still a suite perk, but isn’t listed as a suite perk anymore. In other words, they’ve raised the price of the suites by $300 with nothing to replace the 360 perk. We already had the experience last year so we wouldn’t pay $300 for it because we think that a big part of it are the “surprises”. If they redo it to another part of the world we’d definitely be willing to pay for that.
  5. The sailing is Aug. 24-Sept. 22. It's a TA/British Isles cruise with an overnight stop in Bruges before the westbound TA. We don't like the hassle of flying so taking TA's from Brooklyn work well for us; only a short flight from Cleveland. We like the Williamsburg area, and we don't mind the cab ride from the hotel to the port. Thanks again!
  6. Thanks for the info. The cabin sounds excellent. I'll have my travel agent book it tomorrow. The club dining is exactly what we want. We've been in PG on the last 3 cruises, but dh has some mobility issues, and the tub/shower is so deep that he can no longer get into it safely. The stall shower with a glass door will be perfect. Also, thanks for previous info you've given me about where to stay in Brooklyn. We stayed at the Wythe Hotel last August, and we'll definitely be staying there again this year.
  7. Any comments on brittania club cabin 13010? I have 24 hrs. to decide if we want to book it or go on the waitlist for a different club cabin. Thanks.
  8. Yes, there’s nothing tastier than dried out prosciutto wrapped around a soggy bread stick. 🙁
  9. We were in an aft ph on the enchanted for 20 days last winter. There was more noise from moving and shaking of the ship, but it didn’t bother us. The benefits of the huge balcony area were well worth any noises or shaking. We were only able to get an aft cabin one 10 day segment on our upcoming 30 days next month, but we’re looking forward to it.
  10. I. Over 30 cruises on Princess we’ve been lucky to only have this problem three times. In each case we contacted GS, & they sent someone quickly. They spoke to the smokers, and in 2 cases we never smelled smoke again. Once they had to go back a second time to stop the problem. I don’t remember which ships they were.
  11. There is a new (2022?) bakery on the side street on the Cheesecake Factory side which seems to be part of the Riverside. They advertise them at the front desk.
  12. We love the Riverside corner balconies!
  13. We stayed at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg area, and we were very pleased with it. The rooms were clean & spacious, and the staff was excellent. The restaurant was a bit pricey, but the quality of the food was well worth the price at dinner. As I told our server, it was obvious that they had a chef, not a cook. We had breakfast at the Williamsburg Hotel, and it was delicious.
  14. This is the Elite lounge, not the Concierge Lounge which is for for suite passengers only.
  15. We were on QM2 from Aug.18-Sept.11, and we agree with your review especially your final thoughts. Also, we were in PG, and the food was a big disappointment.
