Also, why are ghosts portrayed as pre-1900s? Where's the ghost of the guy that died in 2007 and screams IT'S BRITNEY ***** at 3am?

If you saw the ghost of a guy that died in 2007 would you know it was a ghost?  you could be seeing ghosts of people that died recently all the time and you wouldn't know it 😉

he he, save us a seat by the pool

Yes, should be a short walk from their according to Google, I'm getting the train from New Street, there should be a long line of us after breakfast walking down. 😁

Calm down mate, I never said it was on any other day. I said "I take it the free shuttle is on the Saturday" with no question mark. 

I was just commenting because I am going on this cruise and wanted to say something, no need to jump down my throat.

I take it the free shuttle is on the Saturday, we're getting there on the Friday and staying in a hotel close to the port.

Using a VPN I can log in from every country I tried, including the US, except for Canada from which I get a 403 access forbidden, im not even redirected. I wonder why that is?

I thought so, I had visions of getting turned away at 10:30 and having to mooch around Southampton for 4 hours.

I have never come across this before, does anyone have experience of this and what did you do?

I'm staying in a grand suite, on the Guest Ticket Booklet it says I can board anytime between 10:30 and 15:00, but when I completed the check-in I was forced to choose an arrival time for my set sail pass and the earliest was 13:30.

I thought one of the perks of suite life was early check-in.

Just off the Brilliance and I'm far from disappointed. Staff fantastic, food usual cruise fare, a few rust spots here and there but nothing more than you would expect, smoke nowhere near as bad as I expected, room clean.

In short, I don't recognise it as the same ship the OP sailed on, loved every minute of it and met some great people, especially doing tea time trivia.

I'm not sure how I feel about a crew party for an area that should be reserved for guests, but the noise would not be an issue for me.

 

 

Me too, I would be OK if they didn't totally take over the area. Excessive noise I would be unhappy with but I don't think I would be back in my cabin at 9:30 pm

I've seen some really funny autocorrects, I've spent ages reading them via google.

True I forgot to mention that, especially if your sailing close to land. You've just got to make sure you're not connected to the ship.

I like the irony of the Yank giving the Brit an English lesson. That post wasn't ignored.

lol most Brits are rubbish at English, it's a minefield, including me, don't know what I'd do without a spell checker

Edit: sorry it has already been answered.

On land and in an EU or an economically associated country you will not be charged roaming.

At sea you will be using the ships tower and you will be charged a fortune.

In short:

In an EU port you're OK (check with your carrier what non EU countries are included.

At sea airplane mode.

Not very consistent on their ships are they.

Thanks very much.

I can't find the answer to this one.

What does TWO PLUS ONE L mean under Additional Items on the booking page?

Ah ok I understand

We used to enjoy Quest.  After 30 or so times it became so repetitive it wasn't funny anymore.  Not to mention the people who bring bags of stuff they know they will be asked for just to win a stupid key chain.  I'd rather spend my late nights elsewhere.

 

 

Never been to the Quest, what exactly happens?

What the need for oral sex or a person being unwilling? 😲

like the adult only karaoke, they had all the same songs as the other karaoke venues, nothing "adult" about it

Maybe they meant only adults were allowed to take part, not that the songs had sware words in them.

If it's advertised as adult that's what I'd expect and if I didn't find it funny I would leave.

I fully understand what you mean but sometimes we have to judge for ourselves and not rely on others to censure things for us.

What a rotten time to fall ill. Still, you have a few days to make up for it 😀

Please, someone, say it's on draft on the Brillance, you can't beat a cold pint of Newky Brown.
