Does anyone have intel on the sauna situation on the new Cunard Queen Anne? -

To be honest I’d be less likely to use it. I was on Queen Victoria 3 times in the last year or so, and that still has men-only facilities. The vast majority of men use it naked, as nature intended. -

Yea, how would they know if you had anything on under the towel anyway? But that’s why I love the single-sex saunas - no bathing suit or towel wrap, just total freedom 😂 -

AussieVoyager replied to Kynance's topic in Cunard Line
Yes, I was on this sailing. I received the notice of change about 1pm on the day before embarkation. -
Who will be the Cruise Director on the Queen Anne do we think?

Oh, that sounds terrible. I’ve cruised twice since open dining was introduced and didn’t experience that myself, and I hope I never do!

It simply means you can turn up at any time the dining room is open - not a fixed time. It also means you don’t have a fixed table or waiter.

Brilliant job - on behalf of all ship-sauna fans, thank you! -
Juice, iced tea and lemonade are definitely all available in the buffet. I have never asked in the main dining room but I’d guess so. I’ve never purchased the drinks package either, as there’s no way I’d drink enough for it make economic sense.

Not in Australia either…

Feedback on Britannia restaurant open dining
AussieVoyager replied to Host Hattie's topic in Cunard Line
A couple of belated thoughts on open dining from me… We have done 8 Cunard voyages - 6 before the introduction of open dining, and 2 after it was introduced. We chose open dining when it became an option, and on our next cruise coming up we have selected open dining again. I have to say I always did enjoy the fixed seating, as it was a great opportunity to get to know table mates (even though we usually have a table for 2, the tables are so close that you can chat to others). I do miss that - it’s new people around every night. I also miss having regular waiters that we can get to know, and who learn our preferences. With open seating it’s a new waiter every time. On the positive side, we do appreciate the flexibility to eat when we choose. We usually selected the late sitting, but sometimes if we’re tired or wanting to do something different in the evening we now have freedom to eat a little earlier without going to the buffet which isn’t my thing. For that reason we do now always select the open seating option. My personal feeling is that the quality of the food was not as good on my last two voyages. Not bad, in fact still good, but just not as good as it used to be, both in quality and variety. Others I’ve spoken to don’t think so - even my wife disagrees with me on that - so maybe my memory is failing me! I wouldn’t think, if there has been a drop, that is directly attributable to the change in seating options.
