Are you getting off on Sunday? Or have you emulated @MylesS and booked the next voyage as well?

Yes, unfortunately I am due back at work on Monday 😭.

Poor you, not a lot to look forward to, I suspect.

Brilliant. Where are you going next? I thought your partner had forbidden you.

I managed to use my persuasive attitude to my advantage there regarding my partner 🤣

 

The next cruise is a 19 nighter with port calls in Croatia, where I’ve never been - also a few sea days, which I love. 
 

Here’s the full itinerary:

 

Interestingly around this time last year I was doing some work involving the Croatian Ministry of Finance, so it’s nice to go there!

I assume they are able to accompany you. Lovely itinerary, but it will be surprisingly wintry when you get back.

God I wish 🤣 whenever I’ve had to go to NYC for business I’ve always tried to Queen Mary 2 across!

Enjoy! What’s the H426 itinerary?

[MylesS]

Dinner in Aranya was fantastic this evening. I just wish I didn’t get as full as quickly as I do, I haven’t had a single desert so far this trip! 
 

[jrmende63]

Norway and Arctic circle. Hoping for northern lights.

Are you in danger of being institutionalised or maybe Cunardised? 🤪

[Host Hattie]

We managed another relaxing sea day, hot chocolate and a catch up with our table companions in the Commodore Club, bought Taylor the Technician Bear, listened to part of the Guitar History lecture, Wine tasting, sitting out at the Panorama Pool (trying to pretend it was warm enough), made a start on packing. A lovely Beef Wellington Gala dinner and time for a drink in the pub before Fizz.

Miserable. You’ll have plenty of time for breakfast though.

[ShipboardSteve]

HH or Myles, do you know the names of the two ballroom dance instructors, please.  Usually that would be printed on the daily programme, but I didn't see that on the copies you posted.  Thanks.

[alc13]

Thanks, Host Hattie, for your many posts!  I hope you and Mr HH had a wonderful cruise.

[Host Hattie]

Thank you, we have. 

[Host Hattie]

We did our best to dull the pain of our last day with lunch at Sir Samuel's. The menu is very limited especially if you don't want to pay any supplements but the steak was incredible. Mr HH enjoyed his Dover Sole as well.

I’ve seen some reports of messy disembarkations because of lifts shared with both luggage and pax. I would be interested to read your report of disembarkation. 

[jrmende63]

@Host Hattie thank you for your review of Queen Anne. Also thank you for posting Sir Samuel’s lunch menu. We have it booked for H426. And had not seen the menu.

Lots of people trying to get the large Queen Anne gin bottles, but they’re completely gone!

It's going to have to be one of the first things we buy I think!
