Hi
This will be my first winter crossing and I would love to hear from anyone who has done it before. Is the promenade deck open at all? If not, is winter outerwear ( parka, hats scarves boots) superfluous?

Can someone tell me how a private cocktail party works in one's stateroom? What's done as far as drinks are concerned? What's available to be served? How does one choose? Is it limited to the one spirit/one wine that are complimentary?

Has anyone noticed that grill accomodations on qm2 in 2019 are easily 25-30% higher than in 2017-18?. Can anyone comment on whether these fares are likely to be discounted or the increase is here to stay?
