They made a big thing of thanking Liverpool for having us.🤣 Just having dinner with a beautiful view. Beautiful view. If you get the chance, could you please say hello to the cruise director, Gene Young from Mary Ann and Tom Beckham. Have known him for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it being too posh, it's not at all stuffy and the staff are lovely and friendly. At the moment most of the other passengers have done the upgrade too! I agree entirely. Having experienced 3 cruises, totalling 33 nights in Yacht Club, we have never experienced or considered it to be stuffy at any level. Just populated by normal folks, enjoying a premium plus (but not ultimate luxury) experience. I heartily recommend it, even in the inside cabin, as you have full access to this amazing enclave.

We haven't actually spoken to him yet but will look out for him. I like his style, a bit different from most CDs, very American but toned down a bit for us Brits 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Saturday we took the ferry from Belfast to Stranraer, no tests required and proceeded to drive freely through Scotland to England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kernow Posted June 10, 2021 Author #208 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It's foggy out this morning so everyone is inside. Galleria Virtuosa (I'm finally using the right name) actually has a few people around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean if you are only on for 5 nights you would have to pay the same, or is that the cheapest package coverage for the length of your cruise (7 nights), with access for perhaps more devices costing more. We are only on the ship for 5 nights. Also, is there much difference in price if pre buy? I originally paid £28 for 4 nights so imagine 5n would be under £40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 4 for our 4N May 20th but unsure if they do more than that on the 7N Exactly the same as the 4 night (sitting with a lady who was on the first one right now). Weirdly last night was Elegant and there was no show, apart from Ricky Jay in the theatre (everyone agrees with you that he is not very good). Tonight is Big Apple.
