silver service

Yes! You can order from the mdr menu, (non grills). For dinner.

I did this several times on queen victoria, when suffering a heavy cold.

Just have to call room service during service time.

Was on last summer in our usual cabin on deck 9.

The bathroom had not been touched.

Hello lanky lad. Like me, you have been on cunard, quite a bit!

Well, what goes on on qv, qe,and to some extent on qm2

Also happens on p&o ships.one thing that is exclusive to pando,

Is the crew and passenger talent show.

They do the choir thing.just done the caribbean on queen victoria.

Turned into 17 sea days. Too many! I used to like sea days.

But 9 of them on the return, because no azores call due to high winds. Has changed my tune. Regards, mike.

Thanks major tom for being my champion!

There are few people of our mind set. Regards, mike.

The peroni that i mentioned was 300mil. More like £5.50

Why do you suppose drinks on cunard are so expensive?

Including that service charge. I consider £5 for a small beer quite a lot.

Just returned from the 24nighter on queen victoria. Perhaps the well

Heeled, will disagree. Your thoughts please.

Regards, mike.

Maybe six years ago, we did an eastern med cruise, on aurora.

It did cyprus (limasol). Port said (egypt) tunis (tunisia). After this cruise

There has been lots of trouble, understatement. We were very lucky

To have had this cruise. The danger ports are no longer visited.

Hence, no cyprus, sadly.

Is allbran available on queen victoria? I now have it every morning

I find it very helpful! Regards, mike.

Thanks pepper! Yes very helpful. Dear wife uses a wheelchair.

Hearing some of the terain is a bit rough, also it will be hot ofcourse,

Perhaps will not go all the way into town.will do bit of a walk though.

Been here before on a cruise ship. Noticed the large shopping area

In the terminal building, so will take some time looking around in there.

Thanks again! Regards, mike, southampton, england.

Walking into town from the ship. How is lt? Is it far? An easy walk?

Would be useful to know, going soon on queen victoria. Thanks in advance.

Regards, mike.

Do you feel safe walking here, in the capital? Will be here in november.

Looking for reasurance.

Booked today for november 1 2018 queen eliabeth canary cruise.

Requiring a wheelchair cabin. So although rediculously early,

Over two years in advance, to secure the cabin choice,

Have to book so early.accessable cabins in the minority.

Cunard, not to the 20th.

Stay quiet. You are ok. No problem.

Do not want to sound too depressing, but. We serial cruisers

Are getting older. Now the cruising programme is coming

Out two years ahead. Are we all going to be around to

Take them? A serious thought.

Just returned from a seven night norway cruise. Took 2100k.

200 pounds. Spent 40 pounds.although lost twenty odd pounds

On exchange. A very expensive place for us. The cost of living

Is high.but so are the wages. Oil money.

Like the english lady, we no longer fly either. This means cruising

Southampton, round trip. That means, really,p&o or cunard. That is

What we do.running out of new ports to visit.certaianly reducing the

Number of cruises being booked. Guess others are in the same boat!

Sorry about wandering off the main thread.

Groovechick, far as i am aware he is still on azura. There was some talk of returning to aurora, but it has been said captains stay on a ship for

Several years.

We miss neil turnbull. His humour was priceless.

Well, the largest ship to a medium size ship. We love aurora.

It is a little tired in places. Rust showing in places. The ship was built

In 2000.although been on both azura and ventura, because of the

Set up of the biggest ship would not go on it.wheelchair user,

And high demand for lifts midships. Aurora has everything that you

Would need. But not all singing and dancing.truely you would have to

Bite the bullet and try it. We could all answer specific questions about

The ship. Just ask.

Nautical miss. Hythe marina. I worked there for 11 years, until

Retirement! My neck of the woods. Off the thread, i know.

Pretty much every cruise ship has a crew area on the bow. Some american ships

Have them on the stern.

Ship berths in the capital. Most people do the land of fire excursion.

Which i did here. Really very interesting. Out of this world.

The ship now berths virtualy right in the centre. 10 minutes from the

Square with the man on a horse. Used to be further down the river,

Near the bridge.

No. But it does have a spa.

I think the poster is more likely stressing about the atlantic ocean.

For me, it has always been kind. Hope for it to continue this way.

Also caribbean round trip next november!
