OK, sorry to not do this with quotes but I'm scrolling through on my phone while I eat lunch
* aft decks on deck 8-11 - yes there were sun-lounges when we were on board in 2019, and no one else seemed to know about those decks, I was in an inside cabin and sitting on those aft decks with my feet up and watching the wake view, felt like I was on a private ship
* can anyone eat the "alfredos" lunch or just suite passengers and above (we're only in a balcony and we're only gold status) ?
* clothing - we are a family of 4 and we're doing carry-on only because I'm too scared to do checked-in bags with the airline in case they get lost. I'm good at packing light, have no trouble doing laundry including hand washing, and being from Melbourne, I thoroughly understand layering. I'm bringing tee shirts but also light cardigan, a fleece jacket, light weight down jacket and one scarf, all of which can be layered if I need (and leaving Melbourne at 7am on Saturday, I will need then!)
* thank you for hot water bottle suggestions
Lou 🙂
