Yes we’ll said

I am excited about having more dining choices on QA. We have cruised Cunard on several occasions and would like these extra dining venues. Just wondering if they will offer speciality dining packages as Celebrity do?

Thank you. I’m sure the performances will be extremely popular.

Will we need tickets for the National Symphony Orchestra performances?

Would love to hear some tips as this will be our first transatlantic

Does anyone know if they will offer a dining package on Queen Anne seeing as there are several speciality dining options?

Booked our first transatlantic in Queen Mary from New York to Southampton in October 2024. will be flying to Orlando mid September and then internal flight to New York ready for the cruise home. Can anyone advise me on long stay carparking at Southampton please? Is it possible to book with CPS for approx 4 weeks or would it be a better option to book a hotel with car parking package? We would then get a taxi transfer from the hotel to Heathrow and pick up the car on our return when we disembark QUeen Mary.

We are booked on QM2 next year from New York to Southampton. We are flying to the US a couple of weeks prior to the cruise. Is it possible to book CPS or with another parking company so we drop our car at the port carpark prior to our flight to the US and leave it there ready for our return on QM2 approx 4 weeks later?

Thanks so much for all the info. Best to be prepared. I feel sorry for those without prior knowledge!!! Going to be difficult for them to navigate all this!!!

Thanks. what about the 710 club? Is that something you have to book daily onboard? Also we would like to try Olive Grove and Keel and Cow. Are these bookable once onboard or do you join a virtual queue when you are ready to eat?

Iona

Thank you. Great advice. Makes sense to perhaps do the bookings in 2 transactions. Which restaurants can I pre-book? Thank you

Great tip. Thank you. on our first P & O cruise in September and wondered if, when booking the dining 2 weeks pre-departure do you book each restaurant reservation separately? Or do you put them all into your basket at once? if you could explain the process that would be so helpful….thank you

What is the standard charge? Do you pay for what you order plus a delivery fee? Thank you

We are boarding Iona in September and staying in a mini conservatory suite Can anyone tell me if there is a charge for room service when staying in a mini suite or do you just pay for the items you order? Thank you

Have heard that Amsterdam is banning all cruise ships from docking in the city. We have two cruises booked next year so how will that affect visiting the city?

Thank you

Can you confirm what time is open dining on QM2? Thank you

We are keeping our fingers crossed there won’t be too many rowdy children onboard in September. As far as Arcadia goes how do the mini suites compare to the mini conservatory cabins on Iona?

Embarking on our first P & O cruise in September on Iona. 7 nights Sept 16th to the Fjords. We have previously cruised with Celebrity, Cunard and MSC, our favourite being Celebrity so far. We decided to try P & O as we really liked the look of Iona and the variety of food options onboard. We generally prefer specialty restaurants than MDR’s on cruises. We are in our early 50’s with no children and are hoping there won’t be too many children on this cruise. What is the general demographic on the Iona out of school holidays? If there are young children on board, where are the places to go to have a quiet meal and drink? Any recommendations would be really appreciated. The Arcadia being an adult only ship also appeals to us and any comments regarding the differences between this ship and the Iona would be appreciated too. We are really hoping we love P & O as there is so much choice sailing out of Southampton

How does the demographic compare on Ventura to Iona?

So is Ventura an adult only ship?

Thank you so much for all this information. I want to book dinner with evening entertainment in mind so thirds timings are ideal. Much appreciated

Ahhh thank you so much for that.

Thank you so much for that. We will definitely book the Limelight Club before boarding. Sounds great. Hopefully someone else will have the information regarding the 710 club and the Headliner Theatre.
