    Can’t help with Grills I’m afraid, I’m in steerage. But will wander past the Chart Room later and take some pics. No obvious changes in my cabin but I’m in one of the solos on Deck 3L which were in fairly good nick anyway. (No shower curtain! Hurrah!)

    General consensus seems to be Illuminations seats have, at the very least, been recovered. I’m back in there in an hour so will try and take pics. Can’t help with the spa I’m afraid.

    If there’s anything specific you’re interested in seeing let me know and I can try and take a picture today.

    Symphony certainly had both 70s & 80s parties last month.

    This company frequently gets recommended here: https://www.internationalfriends.co.uk/shore-excursions-and-cruise-transfers.html#tour-tab2

    Absolutely fine.

    They're saving that delight for the Queen Anne!

    Apart from the kennels being replaced by a rollercoaster, the Queens Room transformed into a ten pin bowling alley and the Commodore Club now the first Nando’s at sea, I’m not sure anything’s really changed.

    I was on Symphony last month and got in at 6pm twice, as soon as they opened. As usual with Royal, it’s probably inconsistent and depends on the individual ship or maitre d’.

    It’ll be day 2, Naples. The majority of passengers will disembark in Barcelona on day 4 so day 3 (sea day) may feel a bit like the last day, even though for you it’s not. There should be another ‘formal’ night on day 5.

    The official policy is MTD starts around 6:45, once the first early traditional diners have finished and left. Unofficially, if there are spare tables due to early traditional diners no-showing, they’ll fill them from the MTD line so you can get in earlier. No guarantees though.

    There was one on the Jewel TA in September.

    Tends to be 80s on the bigger, newer ships and 50s/60s on the smaller, older ones to reflect the average age of those on board.

    If they want a tip, they know what to do.
  19. gumshoe958
    Agreed. I don’t carry cash. No receipt, no tip.
  20. gumshoe958
    Relatively low on board spend though. High proportion of top tier cruisers so poor bar revenues.
  21. gumshoe958
    Exactly. They are the real cash cows. Long cruises to ‘interesting’ ports are not.
  22. gumshoe958
    Whichever makes them the most money.
  23. gumshoe958
    Points normally post six days after you disembark.
  24. gumshoe958
    Check in opens 45 days before departure.

    £76 is definitely not a bargain. You’d need to buy 7 cocktails a day to come out on top. Any fewer than that and you’d be better off paying as you go.
