  1. I often wear dresses in the Mediterranean as I just find it easier to sling on a loose fitting dress. That way I can eat desert!
  2. Anyone know if we cancel before sailing how easy it is to get a reservation at the speciality restaurants please?
  3. When I have used wheelchair at the airport & tried to tip they haven’t accepted it. If you are going to tip then do so in Euros.
  4. I’ve looked at Virgin & don’t think it’s for us. A shame as we like Virgin Airlines & the best place land or sea we have ever stayed is Kasbah Tamadot in Morocco owned by Branson. If it had been along the Tamadot experience we would have signed up so fast. But it doesn’t look like it.
  5. I think they need to limit cruise ships to a max of 2/3 a day that may help or to stagger the times.
  6. For me it’s fairly obvious I’m not for & healthy as I walk with a stick. It’s especially useful on the tube. I usually always get a seat.
  7. We are Aqua on Silhouette in May & really looking forward to that cruise.
  8. We had a bar set up of gin, my choice & JD, Dhs choice when we were in PH. In CS this time so no bar set up. I’m sure we will cope 😂
  9. My sister got me hooked onto X. But she also started with Chandris. That was her first ever cruise & she’s stuck to X Since.
  10. I much prefer bed by the bath. Don’t know why they put beds by the balcony.
  11. For me it’s also to do with the wines. I’m very fussy. I like good wine. I generally will try the premium wines & then will more likely order a bottle as they are often better. I get a discount on the bottles so it’s a win for me. I drink white. Dh red so he does the same.
  12. I will not be pre paying gratuities for my upcoming May cruise. We will pay the new amount at the time. For my October cruise we will be tipping the extra amount personally as the cruise starts on 17/10.
  13. When we were in PH it was pretty much unlimited although I think officially it was 2 bags per person per cruise at the time. Laundry perks I think are RS & above.
  14. My favourite place to visit in Paris is the Musee D’Orsay the impressionist museum.
  15. My friends mum was on P&O recently & they were told expressly not required to tip extra. She found it refreshing & one less thing for her to be concerned about.
  16. My alma mater 😂😂😂 Happy days.
  17. Haven’t they tried to eliminate it by including auto tips? But some people still tip extra which I think is the confusing part especially for us who don’t come from a tipping culture.
  18. I love Virgin mojitos & coladas. Always feel like I’m on holiday drinking them. I love a cocktail while sunbathing but can’t tolerate alcohol during the day.
  19. Some good deals there. I’m still sort of regretting cancelling my RS bid but decided to put money towards another cruise next year…
  20. At the prices I’m paying for a suite I expect to get the drink package. I also think it’s probably easier for the staff as well.
  21. I had issues this morning (U.K.) for a few hours. But mine is working ok at the moment.
  22. Does anyone have a breakdown of how much staff are paid daily please? Or where I can look for it? Thank you. Edit: prices are increasing everywhere else so I don’t see an issue here.
  23. Is there a difference between a kettle and a tea kettle? Always wondered!
  24. I wore a mask for the first time in months yesterday. I don’t usually. Was on the tube & rammed Like sardines. The smell was horrid. So fished in my pocket & luckily found one. Wasn’t due to covid that I wore one though just the smell was so awful.
