Thanks Mark, I'll gave a go at this, only the bar code so far. We've got a muster and floor assigned so far.

We're pretty cool with whatever. It's only a four night cruise. I'm a little concerned it may be right above the smoking 'bus stop' on five but the website shows only central and forward cabins available on six at mo , 🤞 It's Spectrum ex Singapore. The Serenade WC segment isn't till July, BCN to Southampton

Thank you, there's a muster station assigned and a floor (6) on Spectrum but no numbers under the bar code as yet. Still six weeks to go so I'll keep looking

Can anyone remind me how to find a cabin number from the boarding card bar code? Our cruise next month from Singapore still has no cabin assigned and I'm wondering if I should bid on a royal up

Great news about your mum's op going so well. 👍

Gary was telling me today that his friends in Edmonton posted that's it's -40c there at mo 🥶

Something similar happened to us a few years ago on a transatlantic . The Viking Crown lounge is a favourite of ours on ships that have them for a predinner drink. On this cruise it was closed from 4 to 8pm nightly for the overspill of the Diamond Lounge due to high numbers of D and up . Now we are finally Diamond it looks like we may be shut out again

Loving hearing about new parts of the world (to me). Here's the Wikipedia page on Drakes Passage if anyone's interested in learning more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_Passage Hope there's some Naturalists on board giving talks on the local sea/bird life in the area

+1, Happy Birthday @DaniDanielle Sorry I missed a few posts, trying to play catch up

Congratulations to Owen, @A&L_Ont He'll love his freedom that a driving licence brings. Agree with Debbie, I use to be up all night worrying until they got home, when my boys passed their tests. I told my boys I would put a third towards their car, they could take a third from their savings but they had to contribute a third too. Worked with the oldest but I seem to remember our youngest got our old car when we changed cars.

It's been a very wet autumn and winter so far. Lots of flooding and the Thames has burst its banks. Fields near rivers are now lakes. But at last this week we've got a period of sunny and colder weather. One of our NY resolutions is to get out more and not just stick to our everyday walks. This week we went to a National Trust property and had a fascinating tour of the walled gardens and yesterday we drove down to the coast and had a great walk on the beach.

Thinking of you always Dani and hoping for a speedy end 🙏 That dinner looks very yummy. Aaron is such a talented cook and artist

There is a downside on having a birthday on a special day. On mine, Valentines, the restaurants are sold out with lovey-dovey youngsters and special 'valentines' menus. Higher prices too, though my lovely hubby always gets me two bunches of flowers, one for birthday and one for Valentines 💕

Agree, it wasn't that good.

Also their ships were used and very recognisable in the new-ish drama series set on a cruise ship, 'The good ship murder'

Hi Ella, I guess the cruise has finished now. Will you be posting your final thoughts on the ship and Singapore? Looking forward to our visit next month Thanks again for doing the review, as you said there's very little about Spectrum on CC

I have an A34, Samsung buds, smart watch, and pad. Very Happy with them, my second Samsung phone. Great photos, does everything I want and only £29 a month on a two year contract. Works for me. Yesterday we bought a Samsung microwave and have a Samsung TV

How wonderful and great the cousins will grow up close in age

Sounds great Debbie. Ours is a coastal cruiser and only 29' so you should have plenty of room. How many people will be on board?

There's usually a water package in the planner. I purchased it for under £19 in a sale for 12 x 1litre bottles of Evian, though its more now. Nice to have it waiting for you in your state room

On one of the you tube blogs they said there was quite a lot of enrichment lectures. I know they've had these on transatlantics and I've usually enjoyed them in the past

How is the food on board? I'm hoping for a good stir fry station in the buffet. As its only four nights we're not doing any specialist restaurants when we cruise next month

I seem to of somehow skipped some pages so I hope everyone is well. Wishing everyone on Dani's thread a Very Happy New Year and wishing for peace, happiness and healing for our World 🌎 🙏

There's an awful lot of ports, though I admit i don't think I could stay on a ship for longer than 3 weeks max

You don't have to have a drink package. Just pay as you go. There's lots of free non alcoholic drink options, tea, coffee, iced water, flavoured waters, hot chocolate. Plus you can bring one bottle wine per adult on board. When we first started cruising they had a wine and beer package which was a reasonable cost. We've only had full drink package once when it was included in the price (Different cruiseline).
