Excellent. Will check out your blog!

Thank you for the prompt response. I might give Cunard a call to see if they can give a definitive answer. Failing that I'll sort something out, or leave the cruise like Jabba the Hutt.

Do you know whether it is possible to find out ahead of time the gym opening times for a specific cruise? I personally like to train early (6am) when on a cruise so I can get back to the cabin, cool down, shower and leisurely get ready for breakfast. I know I would struggle motivating myself into hitting the gym after breakfast or any other time of day for that matter. As I've grown older the dedication and focus has waned!

We are booked on this cruise M504. Please don't get hung on whether Cubard is 'too formal'. It isn't! We did the Canary Islands cruise on QE back in Oct 2018 and absolutely loved every minute of it and had no hesitation in booking this cruise. I've no doubt that if you do decide to book, you will not be disappointed. We can't wait to embark although it still seems far off. Maybe see you onboard?

Many thanks, just what I wanted to hear! 🙂

I have booked a cruise on QM 2 in 2025 and initially selected the Early sitting for dinner on a table for two. I changed my mind as I felt the Early sitting was a bit too early for us, changed my selection and opted for the Late sitting (table for two). I have subsequently read somewhere that Late sittings on QM 2 Britannia Restaurant are now not fixed seating like the Early sitting is and that i could be sat in a different place every evening with different waiting staff etc and possibly not on a table for two. Any CC members out there who could advise if this is the case or have I got the wrong end of the stick?!

I've booked a cruise on QM2 sailing in 2025 and will adjust my gratuities to the price quoted at time of booking. Nothing personal, but 9 days after booking my cruise the price dropped by £300. Did Cunard adjust my fare to match? No. Works both ways as far as I'm concerned.
