  1. Whilst I never reduce autotips, I do feel that it is wrong that the tips are shared, by some unknown formula, throughout the fleet. I would prefer it, if my tips go just to the staff on my particular ship. The end result is probably the same for the crew members, but it seems wrong that only a fifteenth of my autotips will go to "my" ship.

    Upgrade

    The price shown is the minimum bid. It does not follow that you will get an upgrade at that price - it depends on what your fellow passengers bid.
  3. So basically, not that many in the scale of things.
  4. I'm intrigued. The UK is in a bit of a mess right now, but we haven't had a riot for months !
  5. £40 a day should just about cover my evening drinks! 🍾
  6. Aren't Princess fares always highest when they first go on sale ? Perhaps wait until nearer the end of 2023 before booking.
  7. Well, she only bought one bottle, so not very romantic at all !
  8. Why amazed ? We normally only enter the MDR around 20:00. I am amazed at the number of people who eat dinner at 17:00, when it is still the afternoon, as far as I am concerned.
  9. I think we are of the same mind. The constant need to be entertained is not for us either, and certainly not those awful game show events. Like you, we will set our own schedule, certainly we never pre-book dining, and go with the flow, although we are quite happy to spend a fair amount of time in the MDR, as long as the wine keeps coming. Happy cruising.
  10. Apart from tea and coffee, and orange juice at breakfast !
  11. Thanks to all of you for the heads up. Looks as if all these 20% offers have the same conditions.
  12. I don't blame you. Off to have a look myself !
  13. I'm intrigued. What do you do with all your free time in the evening ? Naff quizzes, awful karaoke, terrible game shows ? Basically, the evening meal is the centre piece of our evening.
  14. You will get everything the package gave you, but not the enhanced benefits, such as reserved seats in the theatre etc, which are worth nothing.
  15. Yup - HL are in deep do dah !
  16. Excellent comment. I'm not going to carry around cash for the sake of it.
  17. Seems to me the issue is that so many American diners want to eat so early. Thus on cruises with lots of Americans there is an issue. On European cruises, with a wider customer base, there is no issue, as there is much more spread in dining times. After all, no one in Europe will eat dinner at 17:00 !
  18. Fortunately I dont use HL, for which I am very grateful considering the enormous law suit they are facing !
  19. So, MB, we are fairly easy going, have a wake view cabin on Britannia in early December this year, and have PE seats on TUI from BHX. After your experiences I am a little concerned, but hope that by avoiding Christmas we will avoid what you experienced. As The Clash so succinctly put it, " Shall I Stay or Shall I Go?".
  20. What I really want to know, is how you managed to get BA flights out of LHR ? And did you have the option to upgrade to PE or Club ?
  21. Let us know how you get on, as we are renewing our annual policies as well. Looks like Avanti are in the running, plus they have a 20% discount if you look at their press ads.
  22. Which is why I always do it myself. Print off my portfolio, hide/tippex all irrelevant data, take a photo and send off my claim. Takes five minutes, plus I have proof of my application.
  23. Personally I do not believe this is a charter flight, so you will be responsible for your own luggage.
