Many thanks for your helpful responses. Yes Fire & Ice from Newcastle on Saturday - can't wait! :cool:

If the forecast is right Reykjavik on Tues is going to feel very cold - a high of 12 degrees after leaving Newcastle with 23 degrees!

Thanks again Rachael.

We've done lots of cruises, but this is our first with Marella. I can't find any info on pre-cruise check-in like with other lines. Should I have submitted our passport details in advance before arriving at the port on Saturday?

Many thanks

Thank you Host Hattie, RosieStay, Underwatr and LadyL1 for taking the time to respond.

This will be our first Xmas cruise since having a family and we are really looking forward to it.

LadyL1, I hope that you continue to enjoy your voyage.

RosieStay - We may be lucky and bump into you on the ship and if not "Merry Christmas".

Thanks again Rachael.

We are on QV at Xmas, but it's a while since we've sailed with Cunard and boy are we now excited - 2 weeks on Sunday!.

Can anyone help with a couple of questions please:

1) Are robes and slippers still provided?

2) Is the shower gel provided nice enough to use?

3) Are the cabin doors facing into the corridor magnetic - we're planning on decorating the doors with Xmas decorations, or should I bring blu tac?

4) Are the restaurants/theatre etc cool at night i.e., will I need a pashmina?

I'm sure that as soon as I post this I'll think of more questions.

I've struggled to find any info on QV at Xmas - if anyone has any hints and tips from previous Xmas sailings that would be fab. We're a party of 4 in 2 cabins, 3 adults (Mum, Dad and Grannie plus our Son who is 9).

Many thanks Rachael.
