I think the Titanic Re-enactment crowd (they're like civil war re-enactors, but they eat better) tends to eats at 830 and seem to travel only for the crossing.

 

However, as a practical matter, airline fees means that a tux and shoes squeezes out an outfit or two for the wife.

 

Whoever cracks the nut for ship and hold baggage at a reasonable price might bring back more formalwear. Right now it's just too hard to travel "Rick Steves" light on the continent, hopping on and off the trains with minimal baggage, AND have full regalia for shipboard travel. Frankly, dragging all the extra baggage around Europe for a week was a pain anyway.

 

I've got lots of pix and video that I'll post later. You can count compare the tux/suit ratio yourself. An interesting take on the dark suit was a dressy bowtie, saw that some.

So any suit is good does not have to own a black or dark suite right ?

As for the rest I kinda know what to wear but not sure about my amazing light blue suite with white tie and shirt.

We are 4 of us going on this cruise anyone else ?

Hello all,

I am so happy and nervous at the same time as we are book for a Med 7 days cruise on Queen Elizabeth.

We are 2 couples age ranging from 38 to 50 and have been on other lines a few time but never on such a prestigious line like Cunard.

Here are a few inquiries I got for you Cunard fans.

1-I want to plan my days on the ports we visit but have not been able to get the times of arrival or departure of the ship. Why or when will I get to know that ?

2-How is the entertainment and does the ship go dead early ?

3-Is it true men have to wear a jacket at ever dinner or is it ok to have a nice pair of pants and stylish shirt ?

4-How is the dress code on these Med cruise with Cunard as I have done with more mainstream lines and found that people no not dress to fancy. Maybe its because with all this overcharging with the airlines.

5-Any secret you know about Cunard that the line doesn't really tell us ?

Thanks in advance

Sea Ya

Hello all,

First of all it's fun to see you all arriving in port of PV as I am on vacation at my place "Icon Vallarta". I have been here for the past for weeks and have seen the Miracle every week. I love that it now overnight here as it makes it more interesting to discover PV.

I am sorry to here that the cruise ship was not that great as this has to be one of my favourite class of ship in the carnival line.

I still have one more week at my place so hope to see more cruisers in PV.

I also think they should never have people pay for the sanctuary. I personally will never par it should be included in the price but reserve for adults only.

Hello all,

Just off the Royal today and was able to run 5k each day. I found that late afternoon was the best time to go for a jog. The only downfall was that it tends to become windier during that period. I only have a few complaints about that track one is that they should have place the walkers on the outside as it is so true that couple like to walk side by side. The last complaint is the smell OMG sometimes it got really bad but only in one little area.

Voila

Hello all,

Do they do anything special if it's your birthday ?

Any way you can change it to the Courtyard Marriott FLL Beach? Much more to do there.

I will only be there 1 day prior to the cruise and not coming in that early.

Eric

Hello all,

Just book this hotel with my points.

Has anyone been here ? What's close by ?

Sea ya

Eric

I loved the drinks at Bellinis (deck 6 piazza), my favorite was one that had prosecco, white peach puree, passion fruit and some other liquor. I am not a sweet drink person, and this had a great balance. Vines is great if you like wine (they have wine flights and snacks). The wheelhouse bar on deck 7 aft has a whiskey flight and seemed to be popular. If you like piano music, crooners (deck 7 piazza) always seemed crowded at night. During the day the outrigger bar (deck 16 aft) had great looking margaritas that i didnt see until the last day of the cruise. The first three bars are open till "Late" in the patter, meaning they can close if there is no one there.

Thanks for everything.

It's not like I am going clubbing until 5am but I love to have fun when on vacation and clubbing is part of it as well.

Sea ya

Eric

Me again,

Did you do any other bars and what place is the best for before and after diner drink ?

Thx

Eric

I don't mine how people dress but when a dress code is mentioned by a line then they should make it respected.

Can't wait to hear about how it went with the new dining family style.

Sea ya

Eric

Can't wait to hear about the Glory and it's new menu.

Nice picture by the way.

Sea ya

Eric

Thanks for the review.

I only got one question was there a lot of people at the dance club or was it quiet or dead ?

Thx

Sea ya
