Suites give you space to relax The Epicurean breakfast much more relaxing Butler useful if you want light lunch in room, also for restaurant bookings I'd go for rear suite ideally corner , so you have sun all day and your own sunbed , a big bonus . Rear suite better than not knowing if sun on your side of ship. Whether it's worth £3500 only you know what you are not buying instead. I'd certainly also reccomend premium economy

Study the deck plans, see if for the type of cabin you want there are any locations that would ruin your cruise. If yes you are taking a risk with smart . If no then very well could be worth it.

Thanks, I'm like Vivaldi, like a wine to go with each course. But couldn't drink two bottles even if I spread it out over two days. No every day for a months cruise. Once it gets nearer to my cruise I will confront Mr Blanks with the difference between website and reality

Any premium wines by the glass?

Do you need to pay for Wi-Fi to use app, or does it use very limited free WiFi

The service on app shouldn't depend on people having latest technology

PS it's free

Yes , it's a very simple processes to apply online takes 15 minutes to fill in form , once you have registered again simple. Took under an hour in total to do two of us. We got email in return in 10 minutes, which we printed out. Just Google Australia e-visa

But this is not a winge about compo,it is about a statutory right if your plane is 3 hrs late,except under circumstances beyond airlines control

The delay is measured by CAA as time between scheduled arrival time and the time first passenger being able to get of plane. Airlines may try and fob you off that arrival means touchdown, it not it's when first passenger is able to get off. 3 72hr delay gets you statutory compensation.

Given this premium for Christmas they should have gone the extra mile to give premium service and food. No excuse for drunken louts at any price. First holiday since lockdown is no excuse for bad behaviour

I hadn't realised they charged such a premium for Christmas. Even knocking off airfare, megabears cabin is dearer than our June suite.

Life would have been so much easier if they ,started ship off with easy old fashioned club dining for all, then moved to freedom and apps once team was up and working

We are happy with company , my wife would talk for the 4 hour journey. however it's a pity they don't let you know well before hand , the extent of any detour. If it's significant would happily pay the extra given time to arrange it. As you say its peanuts.

There are so many versions of dress code hard to keep up with changes, and differences between different parts of website

Still says dress shirt under what to pack

Simple test, if you won lottery would you still go for inside

I love a teacake (exactly as pictued) but only if still warm. Prefer to scones for afternoon tea but never seen them on Cunard. Now that will be something worth ordering off menu in QG. My understanding of what the Americans call an English muffin , ie what they use as base for eggs Benedict, is not a crumpet or a tea cake, it's something I've never seen in UK except in this .

I think the code does actually say dress shirt

By water in tins do people mean cans like coke , if not Can someone post a picture of the water in tins.

I have no choice, made the mistake of booking a suite on first cruise so that's what expected. I obey! But that doesn't stop insides being fantastic value for money.

No one can argue that a inside guarantee with P&O is anything but fantastic value for money. A balcony cabin on the bigger P&O ship is similiary very good value for money. But no-one should expect luxury or fine dining , you get what you pay for. but you can make it more luxurious with speciality dining. If you want Michelin dining and luxury then pay £1000 a night for one of the luxury cruise lines.

Saw some very good deals advertised in paper January fly cruise 7 days balcony on Azura plus 3 hotel nights Tenerife under £1000, up to £1100 in March. By the way , Saga cruisers aren't all on Zimmers. 20 passengers (out of 500 passengers) entered 10k charity race for Ukraine on our Black sea replacement cruise. Doubt if you'd get same % ie 200 out of 5000 on Iona. Hotel general Manager (not included in 20) won and was only one to break hour. But quite a few passengers were well under 1.30hr. None were spring chickens, only one under 70. I was second youngest, and second passenger.

Firstly, let's not compare any cruise ship with Premier inn, but with holiday or resort hotels. In both you will get bargins if you look at quiet times , although last few years UK "staycations" have been rip off. But in 2023 sure there will be bargins around on land and sea out of peak season . Especially for those that cater for families, who are more likely to be struggling with cost of living and mortgages. So bargins in big hotels and big ships Pound for pound, land holidays will offer bigger rooms than ships. Whether they offer better service will vary. So an inside guarantee cabin will offer better service than a similarly priced 3 star all inclusive med holiday. But on the same ship a bigger cabin doesn't equate to better service, so for a select balcony cabin , looking at a much better hotel with perhaps better service than P&O. Once you get to suite prices hotels offer more space and service However hotels don't take you to a new place every night.

We are waitlisted for well over a year for our return from Capetown in April for QG. I've been checking Cunard website. QGs have come up which have all been portside, which we didn't want as Starboard gets morning sun, so stuck to our PG. However our wait list request was any QG which have been available , but not a dickybird from Cunard, so relying on waitlist waste of time. Just keep checking website.
