Both times was driven out before the end of the meal by the smoke, streaming eyes, and smell of grease. Both times felt distinctly queasy all evening after and well into the next day. Will never go again. You do realise you don't need to order the steak, I never do but my beloved is a carnivore and just loves the aroma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Leicester Posted October 25, 2022 #78 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Happy sailings all, catch you on the flip side, unless wifi plays ball for those aboard. Still super jealous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, bookings were only taken at Main Reception. Now in Tenerife. Wind has died down and the weather is better. I managed to book it on the App the day we boarded. Not often I get lucky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigLebowski Posted October 26, 2022 #81 Share Posted October 26, 2022 A bit of excitement during the Sail Away last night when a female passenger lost the head and started fighting. All very bizarre. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security escorted her away. Bad behaviour obviously but the poor woman must have issues of some sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used the App for both Beach House and Epicurean This is not good news! According to my booking I can book dining on 2 December for my Christmas cruise. We are hoping to do the special Epicurean Epicurean Christmas dinner on Christmas day as we have on all our previous holiday cruises. Hopefully as that is not a "normal" booking they will sort it out so all can try to book. There are a lot of flights arriving at different times on 16 and 17 December and it would be extremely unfair if early arrivals get to snap up all reservations on the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based upon our experience with Sindhu, I’d probably recommend going straight to Reception and making your restaurant bookings there. The App is not the quickest when using the ship’s wifi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you! Did you try to take pictures or was it all too brief? Puts me in mind of a cruise we did a few years back. Just north of Iceland we spotted them late at night (it was still light). My wife was ecstatic and had to be more or less dragged in at 0130 to get some sleep! They were there for a couple of hours, clearly visible, and you could tell from the change in the water surface and colour where and when they were likely next to surface. At breakfast there were people complaining that they’d been on a very expensive whale watching tour but seen nothing, wondering what they looked like. Simple answer from wife - look out of the window. Still there! Reinforced my longstanding, tight-fisted, refusal to buy overpriced and unnecessary cruise ship tours. DIY every time! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare walkingdude Posted October 26, 2022 Author #95 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Forgot to mention earlier/previously, at the Cruise Terminal we were asked to provide evidence of vaccinations and negative results for “observed LFT’s”. We were asked about travel insurance but didn’t have to show proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife can remember it in vivid detail, whilst I was too busy trying to get the darned camera to do a video, so all I saw was the water spout. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observed LFT’s were only required for certain cruises - duration and countries visited being the main criteria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neecy1 Posted October 26, 2022 #100 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Sorry I've just checked the website. For our cruise evidence is required for ages 5-17 who are not fully vaccinated. Apologies. I should have checked that first 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
