  1. Fair enough....curious, where do you perceive the benefits of Reserve class are?
  2. the upcharge over a std Mini suite for Sept 2024 on Sky was £65+ pp.................. No way is it worth that amount.
  3. curious....how often are menus in the MDR rotated...7/14/30 days?
  4. Hi I imagine that the majority of MDR evening offerings are pre-plated and close to being finished with garnish as orders come in. In the specialty restaurants is this the same or are they cooked to order? for example in the Crown Grill the menu has "Grilled Jumbo Prawns in Whiskey, Chili and Garlic Marinade"...would I be able to order this and ask for the chili to be excluded when being prepped and cooked?
  5. Still there on Sky but our room steward was a lazy sod...minimum effort input only. I asked him (very nicely 🙂 ) for ice each evening...he delivered day one, had to chase him day two, nothing day three. gave up on day four and brought a glass back from a bar instead.
  6. whats the issue with Southampton? back in June we went thro in about 15mins from arriving
  7. Please can anyone with experience please recommend shore excursions for the western Med,.....particularly 3rd party trips that might be smaller (minibus not coach) Itineray : Sept 2024....Vigo (Spain); Seville (Spain); Malaga (Spain); Corsica; Marseille (France); Gibralter; Lisbon (Portugal) Thanks
  8. On Sky recently and we were sitting in Bellinis after dinner (as usual) and chatting with "our" friendly waiter. I casually mentioned that it was my wife's birthday and he wished her Happy Birthday etc and then carried on with his job. About half an hour later, the band in the Piazza started singing "Happy Birthday" and all the waiters suddenly arrived at our table and joined in the singing (as did several passengers) and presented my wife with a chocolate cake and glass of prosecco. I hadn't asked for this and took us both by surprise...but it was very much appreciated.
  9. $800 seems excessive....how much is cruise if you pick your cabin?
  10. Nice.....14 days on Sky for us.....nothing....glad we hadn't paid for it (had a free upgrade to Premier Package)
  11. as one $500 prize or several smaller ones?
  12. You are incorrect....cans of coke are included...Sky 17/06....and stated by at least two waiters and no charges on our account.
  13. On Sky recently, the cheese selection was far greater in the buffet of an evening. Whole Stiltons, and numerous other cheeses in precut portions. Far better than the bland MDR. Just be sure you search all the buffet areas...cheese appears in several places...some better than others
  14. Canned coke was included in the premier package on Sky 17/06
  15. Which restaurant did you dine in? Your tiramisu looks much better presented than ours was.
  16. @Jeter02 are you staying in Southampton Friday evening or traveling on Saturday?
