It will be interesting how they handle the disco when the ship is 75-80% full. I can't imagine a full dance floor right now Do you have to wear masks whilst up and dancing? This whole mask thing is new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybecks Posted May 23, 2021 #177 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Are there any big screens anywhere that they might show any of the Euro 2020 games? We’re on board for England v Scotland which is gonna be a pretty popular sea day with just a British cruise crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under current rules there is little dancing - socially distanced and in masks. Last night in the Carousel Lounge when Soul Sisters were on a family started dancing without masks - staff made them sit and put on masks, passengers near them moved away. You can only remove mask when drinking or eating. May change of restrictions are further eased on 21 June.

So if they can get broadcast rights they may. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Not seen any but they are having ongoing TV issues. The programmes keep dropping out every 30 seconds or so - sounds very intermittent and error message.

Stu UK Posted May 23, 2021 Author #181 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Room service menu. This is all free if you have Premium Plus package as is the mini bar. It’s not with the included premium package. One tip if you are a G&T drinker get cans of tonic from a bar as housekeeping are struggling to provide them.

Stu UK Posted May 23, 2021 Author #182 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Loving the entertainment. So much for a short cruise. Agree with other comments that the theatre production shows have no clear story. However the music, singing, costumes, lighting and sound are stunning. Not seen the comedian but went to see Soul Sisters last night who were great. We don’t like pre-dinner shows so with new times we were able to do 9:30 in theatre followed by 10:30 in Carousel Lounge. Evening ending in the Champagne Bar 🥂.

Stu UK Posted May 23, 2021 Author #184 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Pleasantly surprised with cabin. Great to be first users able it a couple of problems. The lights kept going off so card slot now disabled (easier for us), TV issue ship wide I’ve mentioned higher up and for us a surprise that cabins are not serviced in the evening. Lots of storage when you work out where it all is but wardrobe is too small. It’s fine I think for up to 7 days but tight for longer. Kettles added for UK cruises. They provide powdered milk but room service will bring jugs of milk - not sure if Bella would charge delivery. Yorkshire tea bags and Nescafé coffee. Lots of sockets and USBs. USA and EU no UK style so remember adapters if you need them. We have only used the 4 USB’s. Two are on desk and one in each bedside lamp. Liquid hand soap with shampoo and shower gel in shower. No conditioner. Shower is very powerful for a ship with proper glass enclosure. Zoe assistant currently only works as a Bluetooth speaker. Cases fit under bed. We have a slanted mid ship balcony which is lovely and large. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively switch network selection to manual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted May 23, 2021 #200 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Stu UK ... At least you have a cabin with the sofa near the wardrobe, the other way around with the bed there makes the wardrobe almost unusable on one side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
