I wasn't bothered by the lack of a bookshop on QA until disaster struck this morning. My Kindle refused to charge! It's down to 38% and I have a long coach journey tomorrow, possibly with no reading material!

 

I've left it plugged in at the purser's office, in the hope that it's just my cable that's faulty, not the Kindle itself.

 

Oh no! Fingers crossed for your Kindle! Is there an area in the library where people leave books when they’re finished? (Not the library’s; their own.) Maybe you could check there as a backup plan.

There is, or was, quite a large stash of passenger left books in the library in July.

 

I added to it with the book I brought on a just in case basis.

38% should last quite a while on a Kindle, how often does a full charge normally last for you ?

I am thinking that, perhaps, there will be outlets on the coach.

Enjoy your last day on board all and thanks for the updates.

Disaster averted - the cable at the Purser's Office was able to charge my Kindle!

Did you assess the scones?

With the aid of my table companions, I assessed four scones - two plain and two fruit. They were distinctly irregular this time. Mine was positively lopsided!

 

Still delicious, though!

 

I'm currently assessing the Chart Room's cocktails.

Did you have shorts or a tee shirt with you but not spare Kindle cables? 🤣🤣🤣

 

Having asked that my wife uses Kobo, and we have Kobo apps on both of our phones. In practice she only gets time to read on the flights between Nice and Heathrow.

 

Edit: assessing the Chart Room's cocktails is a much more productive pastime!

Has anyone that was on this one successfully claimed missed port cover form their insurance? Holiday extras rejected my claim due to the issue being technical and not either weather or timetable related. My argument that the technical issue caused a timetable problem seems to have fallen on deaf ears so far. Very annoying.

Nationwide have paid mine out.

They also did for me ---- £150 quid in the bank last week....

Thank you. Clearly I shouldn't have gone with Cunard's recommended partner. What a swizz.
