  1. I don't think it was you 😀 I'm sure I saw it on Cunard's own website. Maybe I had a dream ....
  2. I thought that too, sure I read it somewhere.
  3. I dropped Latin in 1975. It was that or Domestic Science 😄
  4. I was pleased to see oysters too. Many years ago when cycling on the Ile de Re me and a pal managed to wrongly order 3 dozen oysters rather than 1 dozen. The guy selling them was so impressed that we ate them all he gave us an oyster knife each 🤣. We'll definitely be booking Sir Sam's in June.
  5. I have all that, plus a couple of actual books plus the library onboard. Plus a further "emergency book" just in case of a zombie apocalypse or simialr. My husband laughs at me, but I don't care!
  6. We're in the UK and when we were in Malaga, Spain last year we had to try 3 different ATMs before we found one that didnt charge a fee for withdrawing money. It never used to be such a problem but it seems to be more common now.
  7. that's a shame We were on Azura in October and our steward brought body lotion and faceloths (and changed the facecloths daily). He had been working for P&O for 20+ years and was excellent. As far as the OP asked - I felt the menus in the MDR had definitely deteriorated on our Azura cruise in October. I'm a true omnivore but there wasn't the same amount of choice, and as for the cheese .... The veggie cottage pie was delicious though. I recently came across our menus from Oriana several years ago and the range of food offered was definitely more then. The ship was excellent and the staff very good. I wouldn't say it had gone "down market" but it didn't feel special any more. We have a Cunard cruise and an Oceania one booked this year but then we'll go land-based next year. Unless we spot a real bargain of course 🤣
  8. me too! We were on another line just before Covid (a line no longer with us) and one lunchtime a chef from south Indian was making dosas to order with sambal. Absolutely delicious. I had more than one ...
  9. and marinara to me (UK) is a pasta sauce with seafood! Just been having the "how much drink can we take on board" conversation with relatives we're travelling on QA with soon. We've decided on a couple of bottles of champane for on their balcony and they'll take some rum as well. Already got the premium alcohol free drinks package but I'm disappointed ginger ale might no longer be on it. I do hope the Sicilian lemon is still available.
  10. eek! That's huge. Fortunately I've just found out that the possible health condition (cardiac) has now been ruled out and I've been signed off, so I'm hoping there won't be too much of a jump - we're with Nationwide and haven't had to pay so far for certain health conditions.
  11. best answer! I will be trying it though.
  12. Look forward to reading about your experiences, have a great time.
  13. Interesting We don't go until October, but I'll be looking out for my information pack! Have a wonderful time.
  14. the latest one on "My Cunard" is showing as 14.45, which is probably the 14.55 train as t's so close. We're on the 13.30 train. Yes, we're thinking of the funicular in Bergen, then walking back down. We'll wait and see what the weather is like too.
  15. it's infuriating isn't it. I'm more concerned about it curtailing my traveling than the actual condition! I hope I find out soon.
