Hello: 1st time cruisers on the QV, but many times on other lines, including Princess. Would like to know if the Alternative Dining options are worth the extra cost or not. If the answer is yes, please elaborate! There are 5 restaurants in total: Bamboo, Riviera, Coriander, The Steakhouse at the Verandah and Lunch at the Verandah. Thanks in advance, Hammer

Thanks, all for the informative replies. A little more than 2 weeks to go! Cheers, Hammer

Hello: First time cruisers on Cunard, but not on other cruise lines. Question for the group. Will there be decaf coffee and tea available on board the QV? We were thinking about the Hot Drinks option and Mrs. H. Likes her decaf. Thanks!

Right. Being able to use the gym to keep fit is of primary importance to me, but Spa Treatments on sea days are important to Mrs. H, so we will look at availability sooner than later. Cheers

Hello: Established cruisers, both Mrs. H and myself but 1st time on Cunard. Question for those with more experience, is it better to book Spa treatments ahead of time (now via the Internet) or wait until embarking and make them in person at the Marvel desk? Thanks in advance for any and all replies..Hammer

Well.. Went for the Britannia Balcony as the Britannia Club Balcony is wait listed currently. Will be sailing from Southampton to various ports in Spain and Portugal. This will be our 1st Cruise on Cunard, and will be four years since our last one, we're looking forward to it! Thanks, all for the replies and info, there will surely be more!

Which ship? I don’t think the balcony is larger on any of the current ships. It’s all down to dining and extras. Sorry, should have said that this relates to the Queen Victoria, cheers!

Hello: Longtime cruiser but never on Cunard. Curious to know what the actual difference is between Britannia & Britannia Club Balcony cabins is besides the larger balcony. Thanks, Hammer
