Fingers crossed

Not if you are going to pay £20 per bottle corkage

That might be true of Cunard but not P&O, you can get nice wine for £30 However a £30 bottle plus £20 corkage Will be far far better than a P&O £50 bottle

Why not they expect that of you if you drive, never mind how long the journey. Anyway it's not a precise time , it's a not before time.

I didn't think there was any problems with people arriving later than expected, unless everyone turns up at 5 mins before last boarding. I do not see the problem with people given allocated times , which are realistically not before times. The more you pay or more often you sail with P&O the earlier you can check in. Not Woke but that's life.

Surely coaches should be made to stick to their allotted arrival times. Grossly unfair to others if they arrive at allotted time and a coach load arrive early and force them to wait.

By the amount of people that complain about any boarding time after 1pm and say they will turn up when they feel like it. Also the fact when I turn up at my allotted time of 12nòon, terminal is full to the brim of people with later boarding times. I thought every cruise line gave people allotted boarding times.

Cunard online check in you preregister credit card and upload photos, thought P&O would be same. Could also ask to upload covid certificates and any thing else. Don't know about logistics of sending out cruise cards. If the did they need to be smart cards that don't work till your allotted boarding time

With the big ships they must be strict or there would be absolute chaos. Think if 5000 people turn up at 11am. Cars queuing for miles , terminal overflowing.

BA allows up to 32kg per case , gold executive club members, 3 cases at 32 kg in business.

The answer is to restrict the number of booking someone can make across all the venues. No overlapping bookings and say no more than two venues per night. Should be easy to implement, simple IT.

Agree completely Only question 1 is relevant in that there is a defined Cunard dress code in black and white. It's easy to understand Question 2 , cannot be answered as there is no definitive answer to what is socially accepted standard. Everyone will have their own definition. Some are stuck in the fifties, some think anything goes especially if it has the right label. Why are people making a simple question so difficult.

're @spaceoddity post "Brittania restaurant around point of least motion , in middle low down on decks 2 and 3 " They then went on to put Grills higher up on deck 7 (but no views) and to rear. Perhaps they thought grills guests more experienced sailors😂 Learnt lesson and put grills in Middle on newer ships

Still only 2 out of 3 lifts on staircase D. Never any queues.

Fantastic news. Fantastic value an absolute steal, if only we lived nearer, and hadn't just got off QM2 on Sunday. Safarigal should be able to book on board, or walk across road to carnival house

Thank you Solent Richard where was is ,or is it a TA that can't be named

Can't find to book coronation cruise anywhere,

Can't find coronation cruise anywhere

Currently being the key word.

I hope Cunard have learnt the lesson from Covid. When even though it was clear to world and it's dog that something was drastically wrong when QM2 didn't leave Fremantle. Cunard kept on telling me its OK, it will arrive in Capetown , no need to book alternative arrangements. Glad I booked flights. So I'll believe QM2 is back in action when we see it leave with passengers on board.

Smooth ride all due to hull shape and weight. Layout doesn't effect ride.

This was a specialiality restaurant every night and no way through on deck 7 As I said we liked Carpenthia lounge, light and airy. Commodore to small and same pianist every night. Queens room awful.

Solent Richard blog on one trip spends a day in civtavecchia itself.

When you come out of either grills restaurants at night , you cannot walk through kings court as it is a speciality restaurant. Must either go up or down to go forward or walk outside.

I would classify bathroom as adequate, shower is over bath but easy to get in and out. Bath is small, Short and narrow. I have 34 inch waist and found it a squeeze. I think better cabin , food and service is more read on for PG.
