Three more parts then thesail across the North Pacific to Alaska. The ship is currently pretty full but there is availability for the repositioning. We did a cruise like that 4 years ago on Queen Elizabeth and many (all?) of the ports in Japan, Alaska and Canada were maiden ports so we had some great arrival welcomes. In one Japanese port there were hundreds of school children with their band singing, dancing and doing choreographed actions, it was quite moving.

Dermotsgirl Posted May 22, 2023 #46105 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Well, today hasn’t gone as planned. According to our confirmation from Warners we were booked in for today’s 11am ferry back to Portsmouth. When we got to the ferry terminal it turned out that we weren’t booked on that ferry at all - Warner’s had booked us on the ferry for Friday 19th ( the date we would have returned if we’d been on a standard 4 night break) I had to phone Wightlink and they were able to put us on the 1pm ferry, which is where I am right now. We will now be later than planned arriving at our next hotel, which is disappointing. When we get home I will provide Warner’s with feedback about this. Fortunately, I have been able to sort this out with only minimal inconvenience, but it might be a different story for someone more elderly than me, or if it had been high season when all the ferries were booked solid. Hopefully the holiday will now proceed without further issues. 🤞 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey16 Posted May 22, 2023 #46106 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Been another lovely sunny day today , been sorting some of my clothes out for my forthcoming cruise and sorting a kitchen cupboard out and I came across my old gala plate that was gifted to me on our very first cruise 20 years ago, and looking at the menu what choices we used to get to compared to now I think there is some differences 🤔 but thought you’d all like to see how it’s changed now. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splice the mainbrace Posted May 23, 2023 #46110 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Disappointingly cloudy here so far but I have gardening to do before we go away tomorrow for our round Britain cruise. We will be packing this afternoon (well the wife will she doesn’t let me anywhere near the cases!😊). I’ve put out too much stuff for the 12 night cruise so will put some back in the wardrobe, our recent trips have been longer and I’ve taken virtually all presentable clothes that I own. We drive down tomorrow to Southampton stopping off at our favourite pub which is the May Fly south of Andover by the river test and then staying overnight at the Harbour Hotel at Ocean Village. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve even recently added Dublin (Dunleary) to the itinerary replacing a sea day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also got that plate along with ones from Oriana and Oceana. Do you remember the cappuccino cups that they also did I think we've still got a couple of those knocking about somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not really I’m not a coffee drinker, but I have two of the plates one signed by the captain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirephil Posted May 24, 2023 #46118 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Currently in Starbucks Yokohama, cracking scones. Lots of people disembarking today plus the new pax embarking. The ship has been full but only 1200 for the repositioning. The weather is great today after a dull sea day, we had a great view of mount Fuji from the top deck tis morning. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted May 24, 2023 #46119 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I believe you are on board Queen Elizabeth, Phil. 1200 is only about half full - should be heaps of room for everyone! Could you say where you are now headed for please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted May 24, 2023 #46120 Share Posted May 24, 2023 A lovely sunny day here. I was woken by the birds at 4:45am so the house is sparkling clean, 2 loads of washing done, dried outside and ironed. So now I am planning a lazy rest of the day sitting in the sun. Have a great day everyone whatever you have planned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cunard or Princess continue with Japanese cruises for 2025, will be seriously considering scrapping our Azura 2025 booking for a big birthday and going to Japan instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted May 24, 2023 #46123 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Clear blue skies here temperature around 18C, but northerly breeze a little nippy out in the open.

There are a couple of online TAs that combine a cruise with a landtour inc the bullet train,Mount Fuji and the Blossoms.Worth a look at,good luck,Brian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
