Just went through there Sunday Flying BA from Rome to LHR to EWR. We had to go through security again at LHR but it went quickly. Our connection went smoothly at the airport but they didn't get our luggage on the connecting flight. We received it today, Wednesday, and one of the bas was badly damaged.

Yes, up at the bow there is a quite area and there are other midships on deck 15.

By the looks of the menus posted on another thread they have a 200% markup on their wine. So the corkage fee isn't that bad if you don't mind schlepping it on board.

It all depends on you. Type of wine. Do you want a specific wine not available. Are you okay dragging the wine aboard?
Yes, there is markup. Less than many restaurants ashore. Way less than theaters and ball parks. It has been covered many times, but you can get a bottle in the mid to upper $20's
For us, we love to drink in our cabin. So, we just pay the darn corkage. But when that is gone, we buy some at a restaurant.
Thanks for the reply!

Is the fee worth it? How much of a mark up on bottles of wine is there on the ship? $15 is a 50% markup on a $30 bottle of wine.

First night at Sea is Surf and Turf, don't miss the lobster!
:)
We have reservation at Cagney's on Saturday night. Would it be better to cancel and go to the surf and turf?
Booking flights separately what happens if luggage is delayed?

We were just on a Mediterranean cruise out of Rome. Flying SAS from Newark to Oslo to Rome on the way there. Flight Oslo to Rome flight was canceled. We spent the day in Oslo airport and finally got a flight on SAS to Palermo and then Alitalia to Rome. Our bags arrived on day 7 of a 10 day cruise. We wore our same clothes for three days washing them in the sink at night until we reach a port were we could get some necessities. The stores on the ship had nothing of use. No bathing suits, flip flops or any size shirt other than XS or XXXL.
On the way home we flew BA Rome to Heathrow to Newark. Our bags showed up at our house 3 days after we did and one of the bags was badly damaged. Fly direct if you can and carry as much as possible with you on the plane.
