And you can’t even mix beer with the Navy, as US ships are famously dry.
-
Does that happen on every voyage? What does it involve?
-
At least. I often use them to dry my hands, and have struggled to use one twice. It’s most mysterious.
-
What a startling suggestion.

What's your 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule?
exlondoner replied to bluemarble's topic in Cunard Line
I’ve just thought of a possible reason for this: they aren’t going to have Gala Nights on QA. 😀😀😀 Only joking. -
Surely they are barely middle aged. I didn’t think QV seemed tired at all when I was on her.
-
Thinking about this, I wonder why Cunard didn’t use their own tenders to supplement the inadequate shuttle service.

Does love and marry have anything to do with pineapples?

What's your 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule?

We are on her second voyage, and there was no info when I looked this morning. -
Toulon looks really nice, apart from the shuttle wait, and the rude woman.
-
Didn’t all the lines abolish trays on the grounds Covid might be spread by contact with surfaces, which doesn’t seem to be the case. Has Cunard reinstated them?
-
Coo. On Cunard it is a mere 20% off when you’ve used up your obc, though prices are quite reasonable. It is the only time our clothes are ever ironed. 🙂
-
Are you sure you aren’t on a Cunard ship?
-
Plats and diamond get what? Access to more machines?
-
Speaking to a person makes such a difference. 🙂

Is it your choice to have it all on the same plate or is it how they do it? Different things on different plates would make it look much nicer. I’m just wondering whether the problem is simply that I’m living in the wrong century.

Queen Victoria - embarkation day open venues?
exlondoner replied to allemonde's topic in Cunard Line
They don’t always check, but it has apparently been known, leading to a lengthy wait outside. -
Well, it is usually quite expensive. And, as well as age and decrepitude leading to reduced appetites, you yourself suggested, I think, that the better quality food left you feeling fuller. They have also considerably reduced the choices over the years, leading, I assume, to less waste.

Quick review: 2 weeks on QE in the med, in a Q2 Suite
exlondoner replied to s.s.France's topic in Cunard Line
I suspect they may check more carefully for sailings going to the US. At the moment UK people don’t need a visa or anything for the EU, just not to have been there for too long too recently, if someone is counting. -
QM2, 2 - 9 June, 2024 - Complete Change of Itinerary
exlondoner replied to Kynance's topic in Cunard Line
If you haven’t been to Ghent, it is worth a visit from Zeebrugge. -
They do, but the food not so much, except those cakes.

Quick review: 2 weeks on QE in the med, in a Q2 Suite
exlondoner replied to s.s.France's topic in Cunard Line
I know Cunard admin and IT are strangely deficient, but surely even they must have a record of where passengers boarded. Here is another thing for people to contemplate. How do they deal with a passenger who turns up at Soton with a UK passport for a cruise to six EU ports, having spent 89 days in the EU in the last four months? Is s/he allowed to board? -
Which of those is the stuff that looks like penne pasta?
-
These cakes do indeed look splendid, and just imperfect enough to seem homemade. Very inviting, in small quantities.

But she was built to last. They thought QE2 would last 25 years, and she lasted nearly 40, despite leading quite a hard life with a lot of TAs at high speed.
