Anybody out there :) joing us ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindlychap Posted June 6, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I should imagine that you will notice the difference, to say the least. The Britannia Grill is much smaller and more intimate. You also have access to the Queens Grill Lounge on the boat deck. The cabin will have a bath too, rather than just a shower. That's quite an upgrade you have secured! Cabin position should be better too - do you have a number yet? We're on the cruise too. It should be good - are you aware of the revised schedule? All the ports remain, but they are in a different order, which (I understand) is to limit congestion in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindlychap Posted June 6, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2006 You'll also get priority boarding, which means you don't have to queue in the long queues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindlychap Posted June 6, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Assuming you've read the brochure, I think I've given you the significant details. Is this your first time on Cunard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnhmrk Posted June 6, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Myself and family have been lucky en ought to get an up grade from a c5 to p2 That is a very good upgrade. Have you eaten in the Caronia before? I think that you'll find the Britannia Grill much more intimate and enjoyable than the Caronia. Your cabin will also be much more spacious. Instead of the small wardrobes you get in a C5 you get a vast, walk in, closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnhmrk Posted June 7, 2006 #10 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I'm new to this forum and am still a little lost! Don't worry about that - you're managing to post and that's the important thing:) We like meeting new people at dinner and had requested to be on a table of eight in the Caronia, with the up-grade how would they do the setting, do you know if they seat like for like? I've only eaten two meals in the Britannia - so my observations are based on what happens in the (almost identical) Princess Grill. There they are mainly tables for two or four, however they do have two larger tables that are used for larger groups. As well as that they can move some of the tables round to accommodate larger parties if required. I would ring Cunard in advance and try to confirm that they do have your request for a large table, check on their Voyage Personaliser (https://secure.pocruises.com/cp/index.asp?pageID=4&ABTA=V8764&brandCode=CU) to see what your table allocation says and, once onboard, check your table as soon as possible.

TJL Posted June 10, 2006 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi All. myself and family have been lucky enought to get an up grade from a c5 to p2 , any feedback regarding the cabin/ restaurant would be good . countdown to june 16th Land of the Midnight Sun .. Anybody out there :) joing us ??? yes, we'll be on the Land of the Midnight Sun Cruise - and we've been upgraded, too! I'm interested because it's number 2154 which you'd think was right at the stern yet it's up near the bows - and I've looked in a 1997 brochure and it doesn't exist at all! Have eaten in Brittania once before on a wee 2-nighter and was very impressed. Only 5 and a bit days to go! :) Tim. PS Thanks, Kindlychap for the info re: Queens Grill Lounge.

pnhmrk Posted June 10, 2006 #13 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I've looked in a 1997 brochure and it doesn't exist at all It's one of the cabins that was added when they increased their capacity. I think that was a baggage room before. One thing that you need to watch out for (unless they've changed it very recently) are the signs at the forward end of the Midships Lobby - they say that all the cabins on deck 2 are in the bows, not just 2001 - 2033, 2153 and 2154.

MayMayMay Posted June 10, 2006 Author #14 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi-ya Tim, nice to here your joing us, looking at the broucher your cabin looks rather larger than the others (Yippy for you) looks like your opposite the computer room , myself and family are in 2126 , if you fancy getting together for a drink ,feel free to give us a call , we could always do the posh thing and take advantage of the upgrade and order the caviar/canopes , maybe kindlychap might like to take the fifth canope !! Look forward to hearing from you . May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
