Just at the moment, I should like an ‘I am a moron’ button.
-
Well, that obviously made a deep impression. Oh dear. Next, I’ll be swearing I’ve never been on a Cunard ship, despite evidence to the contrary. Apologies all round. BTW, I really haven’t had a yearbook since Covid, I’ve just checked. Apologies again. Redfaced of Bournemouth

Lisbon? Now somebody is going to tell me it is Grimsby, I suppose. 🙂
-
Nope, not me. Was there an on line version?
-
Well, there you are. More favouritism for US passengers. 😀 I can’t swear I didn’t, though I don’t think I did.

I have just had one too. I think it is my first since Covid.

Try the wonderful covered market.

Exactly.

Cruising on Queen Victoria with walking difficulties
exlondoner replied to fabnfortysomething's topic in Cunard Line
Obviously a much less important issue, but it always amazes me, when people occasionally say they were astonished to discover after boarding that they were expected to dress up (ie not wear shorts) for dinner. -

Yes indeed. But, on the other hand, the quoted passage does say ‘all guests’ which may well not be what it means. -

This doesn’t accord with the fact it said when I booked that QG passengers would get priority embarkation. They can’t rescind that, if it was promised when I booked. Or is it simply referring to passengers needing assistance? -

Well, I found a section in MyCunard called On Board Needs, which appears to link to it. I don’t know whether it works. -
My problem is the varying meanings of pants. I’m never quite sure what’s going on. 🙂

But you have in fact made it too easy for them, by including the rhyming bit. Many would stop at dog. Now I’m off up the apples to have a butcher’s at something.

Another thing we see differently: I enjoy tea in the PG so much more, because there is so much more room on the table, and the comparative levels of the chair and table make dealing with the food easier.

But possibly less forgetful, or less prone to forgetting when convenient. 🙂 -
Are the MDR are all the food menus open? I agree, a (small, of course) glass of wine with the first meal shows the holiday has begun.

When he said he would be on his feet nearly all the time at work, it struck me for a fleeting moment he might be a ballet dancer, but I dismissed the idea. 😀

I was inferring that everyone got access to their cabin on boarding at, say, 11. Of course, if they are not allowed in until1.30, that is plenty of time. Your suggestion that people may not have much hand luggage does not accord with the picture our hero posted of the queue to check in at Barcelona, nor with his statement that there is hand luggage everywhere.

I just had the same email, and our cruise isn’t until May. I haven’t tried to do anything about it yet, as who know what decrepit state we may be in by then, but it is both ridiculous and reassuring that the IT doesn't work. -
So why would you want to go on board if you can’t put your things in your stateroom. Are people wandering around with the huge amount of hand luggage many seem to have. At least on Cunard, not boarding, usually, until after about 12.30, I have always had immediate access.
-
Goodness me, how on earth do they get the ship ready so quickly?
-
You’ll soon be back in the 36s. Never fear.
-
It is one of my favourite things, not necessarily for the food itself, but to mark a calm and soothing end to all the stress of embarkation day, with a small glass of rosé to signal the start of a holiday.
-
Were there people arriving that early? Not even a short hiatus?
