Yes choice for me is the key, which by the sounds of it is a good thing. Having had a chat with the on board sales staff they tell me a change to benefits in general is imminent. (That probably means this decade!). So the guest will get to choose the benefit they receive rather than being told what they are getting. I’m guessing you’d choose between wifi or soft drinks package or discounts maybe? Doesn’t sound like the complete overhaul I was hoping for but can’t be any worse.

Terms here, may differ by country, page 10 is what you’re looking for.
Completely agree with @sfred. The team in PG were superb. Stanley, I think has to take a lot of credit for this, I’m sure not long before he dons the grey tie of senior maitre D’. You must have been very close to us as we had Nell and Alma occasionally serve us but Alvin and Khosi were our main ones, also brilliant.
The only con I found was the housekeeping team that seem obsessed with keeping hold of “their” glasses from the room and were desperate not to replace them if we dared to take them out for a drink and leave them in a different location!
So probably one for @bluemarble or another aficionado. Is this the closest the 3 Queens have been to each other in sometime?? All in the same country’s water’s albeit a very big country!
They are offered on QE too BUT top tip from receptionist, book on the first as they often get cancelled. I can attest to this as mine has now been cancelled three times and now won’t happen at all!
Have no idea whether they just didn’t get enough interest but getting vague “operational reasons” and “unforeseen circumstances” as reasons is a bit pathetic. Just be honest!
Am I looking at this wrong or is it another Cunard IT problem? QM2 world cruise in PG on Cunard

What am I doing wrong?!
Well you may face the wrath of housekeeping! We always do this but for some reason on this cruise it has become a problem when we take “housekeeping” room glasses out into the “F&B” areas!
Can anyone guess where she is today?! Hopefully these will be of assistance to Cunard as the boarding passes currently say TBC for embarkation terminal!
Has anyone been on board QE recently? We were on in November and there were quite a few machines out of service which meant it was quite tough to get a machine. Possibly exacerbated by the length of the voyage.
I would say probably not unless you get very lucky with the weather. There are some sheltered spots but nothing inside. Drinks wise there are only water and juices but the staff up there will get you drinks from the bar (at your expense!). It is quite open so even if it’s sunny if there is any wind it can rip through. Maybe wait until on board and check it out?
Disagree with you here, if there are restrictions on all the “extra” venues then this of course puts more pressure on the included venues. The buffet is absolutely rammed.
