QE departing 17th December 16

I am thinking of booking on this cruise but haven't cruised at Christmas or with Cunard before so would appreciate help with one or two questions

1. What are the age groups of fellow passengers likely to be. Will there be lots of children on board.

2. Can you take your own wine on board for consumption in your cabin, at embarkation or at ports of call.

3. I assume gratuities are added to your ship board account, can anyone tell me how much that is per person per day.

4. How many formal nights will there be on this 12 night cruise.

1. I've not been away this time of year so couldn't say.

2. Yes, you can bring your own reasonable amounts.

3. $11.50 per passenger per night.

4. Typically there would be 4 on a 12 night cruise.

I am thinking of booking on this cruise but haven't cruised at Christmas or with Cunard before so would appreciate help with one or two questions

 

1. What are the age groups of fellow passengers likely to be. Will there be lots of children on board. It'll be mostly older pax without children as the schools won't be off.

 

2. Can you take your own wine on board for consumption in your cabin, at embarkation or at ports of call. As much as you can carry.

 

3. I assume gratuities are added to your ship board account, can anyone tell me how much that is per person per day. $11.50 & $13.50

 

4. How many formal nights will there be on this 12 night cruise. Probably 3. The rule is 2 per week cruising and 3 per week crossing.
