Does anyone have the menu for the Golden Lion?

Thanks

Can anyone tell me if the space in the shower cubicle in an ocean view room on Queen Victoria is the same, or smaller than the shower cubicle in a balcony room please?

I have ordered kedgeree twice when I was travelling in the Grills. Once, it was delicious. Once, not quite as good.

I have worn normal long dresses on informal nights and not felt out of place. To be honest, I don't normally notice what other people are wearing. Once you are sitting at a table no one can tell the length of your dress.

I went to the lessons on my own. The instructor paired people off. If there was an odd number he joined in as well.

On our last 2 cruises I asked, on the first night, if we could have the menus at the end of the trip. We are not normally given the menu for the last night and some of the dates on the menus have been for the previous week but they are still a lovely keepsake.

On formal nights there are a few areas of the ship where passengers who don't want to dress up, for whatever reason, are welcome. Instead of getting upset about people who don't dress up just avoid those areas if the dress code is so important.

Cunard have made it possible for everyone to have somewhere they will be comfortable so why tell others that Cunard is not for them? Everyone is welcome.

Incidentally, I love dressing up but would encourage anyone to try Cunard, so long as they were aware of the restrictions.

I have an extreme version of this. We are now unable to cruise at all next year and we were looking forward to a family cruise.

Our M&G in May was at 10.00pm in the Commodore Club under the picture on the starboard side on the first evening. Everyone had finished dinner and there was a small, but sociable meet up. We all left when we were tired.

There is also a wider choice of teas. If there are too many for the grills lounge it overflows into the Q G restaurant.

I don't see why s/he would have a problem doing this for you.

I have travelled in QG, PG and Britannia. My favourite is Britannia as everything is geared around dining times eg WC cocktail parties and the entertainment.

When people book a cruise they know the conditions attached to the price they pay. If they don't like the conditions then book another fare.

I had this problem last year. I was told that prices when you booked are the prices that apply to upgrading without cancelling and rebooking. I am in UK.

If you have sky, try 998.

Why is it that

1 When I receive and email from Cunard I read it avidly even if this year is booked and next year is planned, but if I receive an email from a favourite hotel it only gets a cursory glance, even if I have nothing booked?

2 When I book a cruise I ask for a table of 6 but at a hotel I would hate to be told that I had to share a table?

3 Time passes more quickly on a ship than on land?

4 I am more inclined to exercise on a ship than on a land based holiday?

5 I am not usually hungry at lunchtime on a holiday in Britain but am famished at lunchtime on a ship?

My first Cunard experience was a 17 night med cruise on QE2 in 2006. It was so relaxing and the best thing was my husband wasn't shattered by driving. The ship was beautiful and the food was wonderful. I had only visited Belgium and Crete until then so the list of countries I have visited expanded considerably.

Hi Happyboating. No, it wasn't. There were only a couple of pictures from the ceremony. On the front page of the paper there was a picture of the ladies in red that were around the town.

I have just received a copy of the Irish Times. Commodore Rynd is in one of the pictures. No picture of the Irish President even though he gave quite a long speech, part of which was reported.

We were in PG earlier this month and both of our tvs were flat screen.

We were on the Lusitania Remembered voyage and contacted the Irish times to see if I could buy a copy of the paper that covered the event. They are very kindly sending me a copy of the paper that was published on 8th May, and not charging me! I am looking forward to adding this to my voyage souvenirs.

We were on Queen Victoria last week and very few people were wearing either red, black or gold.

If you are happy to pay the difference why didn't you just book the higher grade to start with?

Yes, we are on the Lusitania cruise. We have one dinner on 6 May for how Cunard helped in WW1 and one on 7 May for the Lusitania centenary.
