Can’t edit but on a positive note, I think you have chosen to book with the best cruise ship at sea. Wish we were booked on her but we’re not flying at the moment so it’s Annie at Sea for us. Let your cabin steward, the M'd, Uncle Tom Cobley and all know it’s your honeymoon and it wouldn’t hurt to let some know the let down you’ve experienced too. Best of luck.

You have not let your wife down. You have both been let down by Cunard and that’s dreadfully disappointing for all of us who love the brand, never mind you and your wife. Appalling treatment. You’re having to accept the change but make sure you get as much recompense as possible, and do let them know in no uncertain terms, this is your honeymoon they’ve 'ruined'. Good luck.

Gammon, egg and chips...wonderful. Almost as good as hot dogs and fried onions on a Gala night. Yum yum to both meals.

Not the 'farmed' animals. Mind you the territory involved is world wide so moot point really as catching one is more rare than flying pigs. Hence the incredible supplement which again is moot as I don't think any have been caught! I'd love to try the seafood platter though, another supplement, but we won't be trying Sir Sam's so I might ask if a modified platter is available as an off menu request for dinner.

The effort involved in catching said unicorn, plus the table-side finishing will add a pretty hefty supplement which is understandable for such a rare dish! 🙂

Fingers crossed for both of you. We haven't had it [yet] either and are hoping QA has the anti virals if needed. Spring booster was a couple of weeks ago so although it won't prevent, it might mitigate symptoms. I'm taking our masks with us, just in case we feel they're needed.

Sent off a request to Stockperks last night for a future cruise before I have to refresh my holding certificate, and got the email this morning saying it has been approved. Really rather efficient!

Good. The passenger clapping and twirling of used napkins, of the chefs as they 'marched around the restaurant on HAL to the Radetzky March was always a low light of the final dinner. I didn't realise it still happened on Cunard as the only time we ever saw a chef was if the M'd hauled the Executive Chef up for a table chat and that didn't happen very often.

Excellent idea, giving passengers the lead on sheet changing. I think twice a week is fine for us unless my eczema is really bad [must stay away from Quercus in the shower and the hand sanitisers] and then the butler changes the sheets every day even tho' I tell him/her it's fine.

I have read the Grills lounge on QV is boringly dull in atmosphere and 'buzz' of an evening after dinner. Suits us. Sometimes, a quiet drink to round off the day is just perfect. Staff who, as you say look after us [and who know how I like my L.I.I.T] is so important and so, as the oft used phrase goes...each to their own!🙂

They only had a peek for future reference as they could only book Britannia for this cruise, their conclusion being they preferred the PG set up which as they said, was handy as that would be what they would probably book.

A friend onboard told me Joy is the Concierge in the Grills. If it's QV's Joy, she really is, a joy. 🙂

I'm a law abiding passenger but am starting to see the logic of your post. I might have to join the roscoe39 gang!

I think the chairs on the Grills deck look really comfortable [[good heavens, a QA chair compliment from me!!] and nothing wrong with the loungers either. The pads will probably be easier to keep 'clean' than the really thick ones. Looks good to me so far.

I tho0ught the chairs on the grill deck looked very comfortable [one for here Def separated at birth!!!😄
