MylesS, do they have a World Club Representative onboard please.

 Cunard  World Club representatives are the onboard 'Voyage sales department'  - what is it you want to know . 😉

@MylesS Have they done away with collecting stickers for prizes at the quizzes etc?

I’m unsure as I don’t partake in the quizzes, sorry! 

[Host Hattie]

Most of the quizzes we overheard in the Golden Lion had a bottle of wine as the prize.

Grey first day at sea today, with little movement of the ship. Highest wave height so far has been 1.7 meters, so definitely not bad.

 

Signed up for archery this afternoon and the back of house tour again, as while I’m sure not much will change, I’m sure there’s new information to be learned + it’s a very fun way to kill half a sea day.

 

The watch shop had an unveiling of Rolex’s today, doubtful I’ll be making a purchase though.

[MylesS]

Also slowly making progress on the F1 car. I’m only doing a bag or two a day.

Show time have changed for this cruise now 6 and 8. Apparently decision of the cruise director , ‘to enhance the customer experience ’ . Time will tell how popular it is . Audience for the first show yesterday could only have been around 100, interesting to see how many turn up today.

Apparently it’s only temporary, or so I overheard. 
 

They were saying people weren’t finishing dinner in time for the shows!

I do like this way of marking progress through a cruise. I’ve enjoyed the communal jigsaw puzzles in the past - maybe I need to explore Lego…

Today’s daily programme:

[MylesS]

A relaxing evening onboard yesterday, another great dinner in Aji Wa where I saw and felt us go into a little rougher weather as the meal went on (from 1.4m to 2m waves)

 

 

I cancelled Noir as I wasn’t particularly in the mood to sit down and watch something for an hour, so I relaxed at the bar and also enjoyed some blackjack.

 

I’ve actually been looking for drinks outside of the drinks package as well, as unfortunately all of my drinks from the kindness of the casino have been “free” anyway! 
 

To counter this I’ve been recommended either Johnnie Walker blue label or champagne cocktails, the latter I chose last night.

Not liking the 6pm and 8pm shows, we generally have late sitting MDR but i dont want to be racing round after a days sightseeing to be ready to go to the theatre at 6pm, hope its not going to become the norm on other ships and is just a one off??🤔

[Pear Carr]

Don’t blame you - 6pm is getting ready time and pre dinner drinks! Do you think this is due to delays in Britannia dining? Hoping this is restricted to QA, for whatever reason, as on QM2 in November and would not be happy with 6/8pm show!

Agree about getting ready and pre dinner drinks but according to @Poole Boy #31 post decision by cruise director to "enhance customer experience" personally dont see how and cant see how it would affect dining times of passengers, maybe its so show team can be utilised later in the evening at other venues? 🤔 be interesting to know how its working in practice, hopefully just an experiment!

The meal looks great!

Well I just did our 2025 World Cruise final payment onboard, so feeling a bit surreal and definitely don’t think I’ll be extending this trip anymore! 
 

A late start today, woken up by the midday announcement. We’ll be a little late to Cadiz, arrive at 10:30 - however, we’ll be leaving at 18:30 to make up for it. 
 

Up a little on the blackjack today, and enjoyed a nice burger by the pool.

 

Tramonto tonight for a change, looking forward to that as well.

That'll be a great one to follow along with. Re. not extending... part of me is half expecting to see you're still on board when I board in 21 days time for Norway 😂

 

Look forward to your thoughts on Tramonto.
