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

Are they still $49 from the Bars ?

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. 

Also real curious what the latest departure time is available since we have to reserve a car pick up at the port. So any disembarkation handout or suggestions would be appreciated. Can everyone stay in their room until 9am?

It will depend on what you have been allocated for a disembarkation slot. Everyone has to be off by 10 unless they are on b2b’s

Some lifts have been out of order this evening as they are being used for luggage collection but we had no problems getting to dinner, the theatre and back.

We can probably use the stairs tomorrow.

The afternoon was spent napping and packing. We went for a fairly early dinner (all off the a la carte for me) & said our goodbyes to our waiters and sommelier who have been excellent. We haven't experienced any of the difficulties with incorrect orders reported by others. Mr HH might make breakfast tomorrow but it's unlikely I will. 

Our table sharers had been to the first show at 6pm and we made it for the end of the violinist. It was busy from the Deck 3 entrance so we had to sit separately. 

We went for a drink at the Casino bar and just missed saying hello to @MylesS !

Our lift lobby is full of cases and 2 of the 4 lifts are "out of service".

I'd say so, the letter only shows our time so wouldn't really help unless you’re on Deck 5.

Can’t sleep unfortunately, but here’s the disembarkation information and times on the TV for those interested:

Did they not do a Platinum/Diamond priority dismbarkation? (Or was it so exclusive that they didn't show it on the list?)

 

They didn't do it when I was on QA in May, but there were too many high level WC members to do it. On QE in July, there were so few high-level repeaters that they did a lounge (I think there was coffee)  and priority disembarkation for gold as well as platinum and diamond.

They didn’t have WC priority in August either on QA. I don’t think I have ever had priority disembarkation. I like a late time slot anyway so would change it if I was too early.

Each time I've been on and given disembarkation tags, they've always been purple, so in this case meaning you'd be off the ship by 9am at the latest. Given the latest is 10:20, I'd say its pretty priority.

That being said, it would be nice to have a dedicated lounge with refreshments again like they did in the past. However, with the large amount of Diamond members on the ships now, I can see how this might be difficult.
