    Where else?
  2. exlondoner
    Well, in a movie it would be inevitable. 😀

    They have refused to take people requiring oxygen for some time now, probably ever since Covid. It is clearly signalled on the website. Whether it breaks disability discrimination laws is moot.
  4. exlondoner
    Car parking, I think.
  5. exlondoner
    Often it has come before we go to dinner on the first night, but sometimes the next day. I suppose it might depend on whether they have passengers to unpack for.
  6. exlondoner
    I wouldn’t necessarily expect it arrive on embarkation day, as they are very busy, but I would expect to get what I asked for.

    Interestingly, I almost wrote grumpy. 😀 In any case it is inexcusable. Surely, if you have ordered gin, it should be automatic that they stuff the fridge with tonic every day.

    I’m sure it does in QG, but that doesn’t really apply in BC.
  9. exlondoner
    I don’t know whether they actually guarantee a table for two, but you will be given one. I don’t know what gets you a window table. Neither booking early nor a high loyalty tier has ever worked for me.

    What is a rhumb line? I think they did that on our TA once.

    I believe in April 1912 the icebergs were unusually far South.
  12. exlondoner
    The position you describe in the second paragraph is accurate. Don’t worry about the deck plan. I hope you both have a lovely time.
  13. exlondoner
    I imagine it depends on the date. You lose an hour going east most days, gain one going west. NYC is a long way South of Southampton anyway.

    While we did get a Q4 on the port side, we didn’t get any of the ones I nominated. This doesn’t make much difference, but I do usually get the first choice. Does this mean there is a lot of interest?
  15. exlondoner
    Well, I didn’t really want to be on QA at all, but with QE away and QV mainly doing fly cruises, we have suddenly found ourselves going to the Canaries on QA, if her start isn’t postponed again. What about you?

    There will also be a bottle of champagne - Laurent Perrier when I last sailed - and endless supplies of bottled mineral water.

    The NHS criteria are very strict: a friend of mine with quite serious immunity problems was told she wasn’t eligible. On the other hand, all you need on Cunard is $900.
  18. exlondoner
    Well, mine was by the sea in Devon. Of course the £/$ exchange rate affects things.
  19. exlondoner
    Are drinks prices that extortionate compared to nice hotels on land? Certainly, in the summer, their very drinkable house wines were less than those in the family hotel we stayed at in Devon.
  20. exlondoner
    I am not sure about it being easier to get suitable treatment on land. Cunard would have given my husband anti-virals, while he would not have been eligible under NHS criteria.
  21. exlondoner
    The 69$ won’t change. What you have to pay for that may well do.
  22. exlondoner
    To explain, I misread evening gown as evening crown on another thread, being completely moronic. 😀
  23. exlondoner
    You order two choices off a list of spirits and wines. These tend to get replaced as you finish them, unless you have an unkind butler. In the fridge are cans of beer, coke, and mixers, which are replenished daily. If what you like isn’t on the list (or in the fridge) it is worth asking.
  24. exlondoner
    I didn’t get one either, though I have had similar ones before. Anyway, I’m too busy sorting out my crowns for day and evening wear.
  25. exlondoner
    It usually arrives pretty promptly at Southampton too.
