10,000+ Club

10,000+ Club (5/15)

  1. Yes, we were very fortunate with the weather. Michael’s Club looked empty every time we ventured past - our sailing was not full though. Obviously, the OP will be able to give you more feedback 👍.
  2. The weather was sunny there last week when we visited and many locals were out walking on the promenade.
  3. We’ve just returned from Infinity on the sailing prior to yours and there were only a handful of kids on the cruise - it was virtually an adult-only sailing. It was our first time cruising out of school holidays and we did notice a difference. I’ve taken early retirement so that we can travel when we want rather than being forced to school holidays; for us, it was more about being able to take cruises to certain destinations at particular times of the year e.g. Mardi Gras etc. that we wanted and, of course, the huge price difference. Our kids have grown up cruising X and are still wanting to sail with us now they are adults - something that I presume X wants.
  4. Just got off Infinity yesterday and we were pleasantly surprised with the condition of the ship; in fact, it didn’t really feel any different to the last time we were on her. We stayed on deck 11 in an Aqua cabin and our shower had the door and body jets. Capacity was 2047, so it did feel relatively quiet - perhaps more will be on the present sailing as it’s over Easter. The toilet paper was not how I remembered it pre-pandemic. It was similar to the greaseproof paper type we used to have in schools over here in the 70s 🙈. I can’t ever remember X using this type previously. We liked the fact that you could order off the main menu as well as Blu because there was a lot of duck on the Blu menus. The service was fabulous and most staff were very friendly and accommodating. I didn’t really have a problem with the internet - perhaps because our numbers were lower 🤷‍♀️. We used the Persian Garden and it also was very quiet. It’s the first time we’ve ever sailed outside of school holidays and we definitely noticed the difference 👍. We are in one the aft verandas on Millie in Japan. I’m interested to see the difference as she’s been revolutionised.
  5. Just returned from Infinity, which has not been revolutionised either, and we did not have foot stools. Chairs and small table only in Aqua.
  6. Onboard Infinity and still can’t get the Webinar working properly. I’ve taken a screenshot but unsure if I’ll get the points.
  7. Have we crossed the pond in this thread 🧐?
  8. Yes, same for us but as this was an extra cruise for this year, we didn’t bother bidding from our Aqua cabin. The only main difference would have been a slightly bigger cabin, which still wouldn’t have been updated. I’m presuming that most of the ship will be mainly Brits because the pricing was so cheap over here, due to the redeployment.
  9. Thanks, Dianne 😊. We’re getting excited now with only a couple of days remaining.
  10. More similar than different and we’ve sailed both lines (see signature).
  11. We used to enjoy going there, especially on embarkation day. The kids loved it too - fond memories.
  12. I know, but it’s still worth checking the policy to make sure that what is quoted is for the two of them or pp, as was stated by another US poster above.
  13. I would double check this as I recently confirmed with my insurance company as we have a family policy and I was informed that the amount quoted on the document was per person (I was concerned that the amount was too low and they stated it was pp).
