No open seating on QV now only early or late seating with same table every evening.

We’ve not had a sniff of an upgrade with any of our 30+ cruises with various cruise lines just got what we paid for!

Oh I see, not sure how to get round that one,

Hi MSC status matched our Cunard Diamond status when I emailed copies of our last voyage key card which states the date and status on also adding our Cunard World club member number.

Yes kippers we’re available last week on QV, but the (always available ) was unfortunately not available!

Absolutely agree on our last two Cunard Cruises in February and April this year Cunard testing was done at the port and I found it to be fast and very efficient and felt some degree of safety our next cruise on QV is on Saturday and I’m feeling quite nervous for the reasons you have stated we have our tests at the ready and are really hoping everyone will be as honest as us fingers crossed 🤞🏻But if they are not there’s not a thing we can do about it.

Yes we’ve got the same email for our next 2 Cunard cruise’s and our P &O cruise looks like all other cruise companies will follow.

Mmm think your right looks like we could be having a Spanish, Portuguese themed menu then for the B2B four day scenic voyage a Scottish menu, all sounds good to me.👍

Looks a very nice menu can’t wait to try it out in two weeks time really hoping the restaurant will still be open.👍

Have you managed to print them off yet?

Hi I’ve had the same problem, I’ve managed to access my voyage on my smart phone open up luggage label then email to myself so I can print off from iPad.

How disappointing for you and fully understand your comments on the large group I too would have been unhappy in that situation but how on earth would you be able to find out if a large conference group were going to be onboard, we had a similar experience onboard QM on the literary festival at sea they took over the whole ship gathered in noisy groups and to be honest they thought they were superior to other passengers I will be boarding QV in three weeks so hopefully all will be well and staffing issues solved.

Hopefully when this dreadful covid goes away we will get back to the normal cruising we all love, we met with some lovely solo passengers on our QE cruise in April and had some wonderful dining experiences with them.

Fingers crossed it will be mandatory, just to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Hi thanks for the review, it’s very reassuring that the mask mandate is back and people are complying with it, I really hope this stays in place when we board on 31st July,

Thank you Graham will definitely be asking for advice. Lindy

Hi Graham we’ve yet to try Royal Caribbean but definitely on our bucket list. 👍🤗

Absolutely agree, reading positive reviews lifts your spirits and reading only negative comments is just so sad, how lucky are we all, to be fit and well enough and be able to afford the luxury of our cruises 🚢

Hi all it’s so good to read more positive reviews and to hear I’m not the only one enjoying post covid cruises, cruising may never go back to the pre covid days so we should enjoy every minute onboard, we’ve all had the most awful two and a half years so I’m going to stay happy and cruise while I can. Wowzz, my other cruises were with Cunard QE my favorite ship that holds special memories for me,and Princess we wanted to do round British isles cruise, all very different ships and different experiences, 🤗

Hi since August 21 we’ve taken 7 cruises 4 with P &O and considering all the changes and challenges with covid we have found P&0 to have been the best easiest and helpful to have dealt with and I know not everyone has had the same experience as us but we would like to thank P&O for trying to make our cruises as near to normal as possible in this awful climate we all find ourselves in, so thank you P & O for our 4 lovely cruises. And so looking forward to our next 4 P& O cruises already booked.

Hi just had email for our Arcadia cruise in October giving us £200 OBC

We will continue to wear masks when recommended and adhere to the recommended restrictions throughout the ship in the hope that it will protect ourselves and other people we all have to live with covid and surly wearing a mask is a very small price to pay so we can enjoy our cruises once again.

Thank you Poole Boy for the information I really hope this stays in place for my next voyage on QV in July, I’ve just disembarked from the Emerald Princess and was shocked by the total disregard from other passengers no one apart from us were wearing masks, the lifts were packed, passengers handling food in the buffet people coughing and sneezing not covering their mouths or noses and we noticed many passengers appeared to have flu like symptoms we were relieved to get off the ship, I agree we have to live with covid but we also need to show respect for other passengers.

Hi we’ve done this itinerary a few times and found the Irish Sea can be pretty rough, so definitely would take some kind of motion sickness medication.

For us the Aqua is our favourite, we had a more intimate dining experience and we were extremely lucky enough to get the same waiters and table every evening, we found the Pearl and Coral to be really busy and too noisy it’s all down to personal choice.
