thanks everyone for your ideas and suggestions!!

I’m travelling with my mother (79) and auntie (82) on Celebrity Edge early next year, our first time with Celebrity. Are there any exercise classes suitable for seniors? They both enjoy senior classes at home, so I thought to check what might be available on board? Many thanks in advance!

We're sailing "The Great Adventure" on 27 Feb - we were informed today that we also would have South Georgia cancelled, with Falkland Island as an alternate route. Same offer of 20% off a future cruise by 31/12/25.

This will be our first Cunard cruise, and understandably we have a later embarkation time (3.15pm). We will miss lunch, but I'm wondering if the Commodore Club or Chart Room will be open for drinks mid/late-afternoon? What venues apart from the Lido might be open at that time for Brittannia guests? Many thanks!

Hello, I am booked on the QV with my mother and aunt later this year. I understand the theatre boxes can be specially booked - I can also see on the deck plans that they routinely seat 2. I was wondering if anyone had ever booked a theatre box for 3? I thought it might be a fun experience for us all one evening...

Excellent idea. I no longer drink alcohol and before boarding QE last time I contacted Cunard shoreside to ask if the PA could be removed and a substitute provided - alcohol free wine, sparkling elderflower, etc. I was delighted to find a bottle of my favourite AF rose wine (Torres Natureo) in the fridge when we embarked. I'll be requesting the same next June on QA. 

I've been wondering if they have a range of non-alcoholic wines on board - sounds like they do?

Ponant is running Roadshows over the next few months in Australia. I understand this is a regular thing, and wondered if anyone had any feedback from previous ones? Do you get significantly more info than is already captured on their website? The sessions are in 2 hour blocks - can you just pop in for an hour (or is it a planned 2 hr event)? Any other benefits from attending? Many thanks in advance!
