£15.95 per adult on Discovery 2, children seem to be free from the booking we have for next week. Menu.pdf

Marella run a 2 week programme of shows to avoid repeats. Occasionally you might get the odd one repeated if they've had to swap a show around with the following week due to cast members being ill for example. Think they said last year when I was on Discovery 2 they had 16 different shows they were able to perform.

You can’t get canned drinks free before 10am with the premium, not sure about the rest

The original TUI flight for mine was with a Boeing 737, the Titan one will be on an Airbus A320. They also said: "If you have booked Extra Leg Room seats, we are sorry we are no longer able to offer this seat type and will reflect this in your holiday cost and process any refund for you." Haven't heard anything about our pre-selected seats being changed.

Ah, ours is this: "When you arrive at the airport, please head to the TUI check-in/bag drop area. Your flight will be operated by Titan Airways flight crew, and our on-board café service will be delivered by our TUI cabin crew, ensuring the same high service standards as a TUI Airways flight."

Had an email a couple of weeks ago changing our flights in August to Titan. Think it's just a dry lease where TUI provide the crew still. Titan seem to be a reputable company so not concerned at all.

The cans are useful for when you go off on excursions, we just picked up a can or two each time we passed the coffee port so that we had them to take with us.

Same the week before, only time the entertainment staff had masks off was when on stage in the theatre and when out on deck during the muster. Italy was a mixed bag with the masks, the Rome tour everyone was made to wear them on the coach and the guide was very annoyed that some weren't when he got on. But Pisa the next day no one wore them.

That upgrade option doesn't appear with one of the Lloyds account coverages, assume it's for a standard Allianz one?

Nope, just the standard one you get with a Lloyds platinum account. The Allianz website lists a few different upgrades that can be added but none relate to cruises. The only time I think it would need upgrading for a cruise is if you're travelling for more than 31 days.

I used my Lloyds bank (Allianz) cover last week, they spent a couple of seconds reading the certificate of insurance we'd printed out and found no problems with it.

Andy Boyd is the captain of D2, did a week's cruise last week, it was an eventful one! He handled a man overboard call very well, thankfully it turned out to just be a fishing buoy that one of the crew had spotted. Everyone had to go to their muster stations though to check no one was missing, and one of the lifeboats was deployed to search the waters whilst the ship did an abrupt turn.
