Is it actually necessary to cause oneself anguish by having anything to do with this app? Or is it possible simply to ignore it, as in the past?
-
It gives you something to watch!
-
Is the ship decorated in a festive way?
-
I believe it includes service.
-
It certainly does. Do keep us informed about the rest of your jaunt, dreaded internet permitting. 😀
-
It obviously makes a great difference when they don’t have to disembark people, before getting the ship ready.

Are Cunard cutting down on number of Gala nights
exlondoner replied to Windsurfboy's topic in Cunard Line
Nothing whatsoever. You seem to misunderstand my point, which was that they might increase passenger numbers more than changes to the dress code do. However, now you mention it, from what I read on here, many Australian passengers have limited affection for formal nights. -

Equally, one could take the view that the more formal dress code has not put people off. But other things might have much more to do with it, such as seasons in Australia and Alaska. Me now, I just wish QE would come home, not that it would actually make me book more cruises. -

But Cunard’s ships usually seem pretty full, as far as one can tell. -
That is vaguely worrying. 😁
-
Worse and worse.
-
Btw, do those fares advertised to London, include transfers?
-
I’m sure you are right. It is irritating, though.
-
Saying you are going to London, when you are, in fact, going to Tilbury, as some lines do, is one thing. Saying you are going to London, when you are going to Southampton, which is over 70 miles away, quite a big proportion of a small country, is just inaccurate.
-
Bless. I should expect no less.
-
Mind you, this is a company that I remember once advertised a crossing as going from New York to London. They did do such voyages a long time ago, but not with QM2. I think they have also been known to mix up the two Cartagenas. 😀
-
I think you are right. She did do an early world cruise in less than 80 days, which would have entailed long stretches at higher speeds than she usually does now, I believe.

Although I have never worn a jean, I really cannot summon up much interest in dressing up, though I like seeing other people do it. However, on a practical level, particularly for men, it does seem to me that, if you are going to go to the trouble of packing dinner jackets and proper shoes, etc, you may as well get some use out of them, and have lots of formal nights. -
The Concorde waiting place was separate from the first class lounge, as far as I remember. Concorde flew nearer 60,000 feet, even worse for the palate.
-
Very wise move. I thought Concorde didn’t exist any more.
-
Interestingly, coming from the UK, I don’t find it particularly British, more mid-Atlantic.
-
You’ll probably be happier if you can, vexing as it is.
-
How much does it cost to park at the airport? Otherwise, for five days, you won’t have much luggage, why not train all the way, if it’s not a strike day, and doesn’t involve Nuneham Bridge?
-
And you get free bottled water in your cabin, I think.
-
The Grills don’t usually open till 1, occasionally 1.30, on embarkation days, so you should have time to inspect your cabin first.
