We’ll be on Serenity this time.

1. Can you order from the dining room menu like we used to? We’re not in a suite, standard cabin. 2. My longtime Crystal friend says there is no tipping for room service, but I, a relative newbie, don't agree. What’s the consensus?

About muster, do we have to stand at our muster station for the demonstration? I am mobility impaired and can’t stand long, even with my cane. I can walk better than stand still.

We’re on for 20 days, so what would be our allowance? And is there any chance of booking Osteria twice if we don’t want to go to Umi Uma?

Is this offer available to everyone, or just certain levels?

Our December 2024 cruise has been moved from MIA to FLL.

Same here, but I can’t stand in line either. If assistance were not available I simply would not sail with Crystal.

We have been assured wheelchair assistance for embarkation and disembarkation. This was booking directly through Crystal, and it’s on our documentation.

They also failed to get my bag to the Luggage Forward people, and my bag is missing.

That’s how we eventually touched base, but connection was bad when she was still on the ship and I was outside.

I posted this on Facebook, but I couldn’t get any advice. I wonder if anyone here can help me. “I just finished the September 11 to September 29 round-trip transatlantic on QM2. About three days before the end of the cruise I tested positive for Covid so I spent about 2 1/2 days in isolation. Since we were due to get off the ship on September 29, I was informed that I would be escorted off with other isolated guests.  I notified the person in charge several times that, although I was in a cabin by myself, I was traveling with a friend and wanted to make sure that we were able to meet up after disembarking. And I asked how that could be orchestrated. My disembarkation time was set at 8:30, hers at 10. I was assured something would be worked out.  I was escorted out in a wheelchair (I am mobility impaired) and left in a room with one other isolated person on Deck 1 with no further communication about what was to happen next. We were then taken down an uncovered gangway. Although they provided an umbrella I still got pretty wet and it was cold. Well, nobody can control the weather, but I can’t understand why they couldn’t have removed us in some other manner. Now comes the worst part. The crew members who got me off the gangway didn’t have a clue what to do with me, and they ended up parking me in a chair by a wall outside with exiting and entering passengers all around. Remember I’m newly Covid-positive. I kept asking them were they really going to leave me outside, sick, wet, and cold, for two hours (or longer). They told me they had “things to do.” And I’m wondering how I’m going to find my companion in this mob of people. Somebody screwed up. It wasn’t those crew members. I think this is very serious, and it could have been worse. I was able to connect with my friend with the help of a port person. I feel like Cunard wouldn’t care if I sat out there all day. They just wanted a Covid patient off their ship. So I’m asking to whom I direct the letter of complaint I’m writing. I want to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”

Does the CC serve other, “normal” drinks as well? I prefer something like a simple g and t.

It’s a wonder they didn’t have medical emergencies from the situation. Some people simply can’t stand in line for hours.

I just want to be able to pay my bills and get updates from my Petsitter.

If Cunard didn’t mean for the King’s Court to be used, why would they have it as an option? Gee, there are some snooty people here.

DFW guy, we plan to eat at the buffet most of the time. We cruise a lot and we don’t like the drawn out process of eating in the dining rooms. I don’t cruise for the food or dressing up. Do what you want and don’t let people tell you you’re wrong. (Btw, I’m in Denton).

There’s nothing wrong with King’s Court.

The water package is about $23 for six 1 liter bottles. I can’t remember the brand.

I’m told they don’t offer iced tea anymore.

Remember some ports might require it.

It’s included with the hotel.

But what about room service lunch or dinner?

Any post I’ve found on this is way out of date! We’re trying to figure out whether to buy the coffee package, so looking to see what one coffee, like a cappuccino or latte, would cost .

We’re flying into LGA and staying in Brooklyn pre-cruise. Both mobility impaired, wondering best transportation: taxi, Uber, car service?

We’ve settled on the NU Hotel in Brooklyn.
