If we just bring the cases and tags to the dock, do they have a stapler there they can use to get them fixed? If not, what do they do?

Haha! I have no clue!

Put a small roll of tape in your purse/pocket/carry on.

We are on the QM2 this summer doing a btb from NY. Does Cunard offer a pier shuttle into Southampton?

Do we need a taxi?Uber?

We’re on the QM2 also pretty much through the Olympics. I’m hoping it’ll be on in the Golden Lion. I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t be.

Wow!

Have not done Seabourn but the last time on SS we got “real” tags.

Must now.be a new thing…

Another shoe drops…

I can't advise about air travel and luggage tags, but those tags are a gripe with me.

Most definitely a first world problem, but it annoys me.

Spent a gazillion dollars on a grill cabin and we have to print our own, paper tags?

Bring a stapler? tape? ugh. And we shouldn't be forced to track down and buy the little holders!

Even the most mundane of cruise lines, give you actual plastic tags, usually with your name and cabin number!

Yeah, I know, cost cutting, but it annoys me and now I'm done with my rant.....(giggle!)

If Tasha had told us what Pacific View has so clearly outlined, half of this thread wouldn't have been necessary. All I wanted to know was what went so wrong. Now I understand, thanks to PV.

I'm very sorry that things went fluey at the beginning  of the cruise, but "stuff" happens. I would've been upset too, but once onboard, it's either make yourself totally miserable, or start a fresh and enjoy. It's your cruise, why make a mess of it?

In the best of all possible worlds, I'd like to think that Regent might hang on to the Navigator as it's "expedition" ship. Since the powers that be don't seem to be moving towards construction of such a ship, might the Navigator be able to step up to the challenge? Maybe with a few tweeks, she could fit the bill? As far as we're personally concerned, the Navigator has always gotten the best and most interesting itineraries.

Tasha,

Please tell us what happened that pushed you to comment in such a negative way.

We'd like to know exactly what the source of your dissatisfaction  was, so anyone who reads CC, will know and can plan accordingly.

When you post something so negatively, you need to back up your claim with some facts...

"enquiring minds, want to know....."

OH NO! OMG!!! We're so very sorry to hear you've had this ordeal and are sending good vibes for a quick recovery.

Should we make a memorial plaque for the back of your pool bar stool? Guess that might be

a little premature....(giggle!!!). 

Hurry up and get well,!!!

I guess we’d be considered old coots but we’re not dead yet!

More updated music would be fun especially at the pool areas!

Maybe even some live music would be appreciated!

On the Feb Grandeur Caribbean run,

we stopped in St.Barts as well.

Didn’t know this had been an issue…

Wow!

Guess they mean business!

OH NO! (echo...haha!)

we've enjoyed all of your accounts so much, but this last one wasn't such a good one....so very sorry!

Hurry up and get better! We'll be watching for you in the future on CC!

What pub?   Please say hi to them from us.  
 

Z and TB

Mulligan’s on 39th& Madison

We can both walk there from our hotels 

We’ll toast you guys!

Will pass on your greetings to them!

We’ve enjoyed all of your comments on your cruise and the ship!

Thanks for taking us along!

Tonight we’re having dinner at a pub with Jackie and Dennis in NYC .

Will be thinking of you when we suck down the Guinness!

Best, J&L

Z, what was that terrific looking cocktail with the tennis ball ice “sphere “?

Looks yummy!

Pictures were fabulous! Cunard should hire you for some of their copy!

Thank you for sending them on to us!

ut oh.....so sorry that dinner in P7 left A LOT to be desired. It's usually one of my favorites.

Here's hoping it's a "one of" and doesn't happen again.

Please keep up the food and drink porn....loving it....

Carry on......

L&J

Poor roses! I think they probably had too much dinner!

Have been thoroughly enjoying all of your posts and we're living virtually thru your comments!

We enjoyed the Grandeur in Feb. and it's fun to cruise again with you two!

We loved the Meridian as well, and had fun with their specialty cocktails. Pool bar was a fav with us as well!

Carry on and keep us posted!

Hi Kids!

Bon Voyage from a couple of the "Legendary Explorer TA " sailors! Now that was a great time!

John and I enjoyed the Grandeur in Feb. and will again in November. We're actually meeting Jackie and Dennis in NYC, before they head off on the Grandeur TA, NY to Barcelona(?).

Wishing you a wonderful cruise, take care of the pool bar for us, best to TNR!

I love seeing kilts, national dress (no matter from where!) and other garb that folks put together for formal nights. One of the most memorable were some Japanese folks who did the full on kimonos and men with those fabulous wide pants, sashes, etc. Another along the same line, but totally different was a gentleman for the west who wore a black suit, fabulous "formal" boots, a bolo tie with a chunk of turquoise that would choke his horse and a stunning black stetson. He looked terrific!

So, please bring and wear your kilt!

I totally agree with all of the above posters who say "go for it"....it's your vacation and you should do what you'd like. A martini at tea would hardly be the strangest thing I've seen on Cunard!

Don't get me started on that thought......giggle!

I quite enjoyed the short read by Alan Cumming.....and I didn't mind his coat one bit. 

I think Cunard is probably the only line that I know of that has "miles" of comments on dress.  It's one of the things that makes people watching such fun!

And as far as the plaid coat, we've seen it all.....The fellow with the rumbled jacket and wrinkled tie, attending formal night activities as well as the (much) older lady in tiarra and sparkly shoes. 

As long as it fits (at least sort of...) the dress for the evening, who am I to throw stones.....

We were in the Mandarin Oriental for our November cruise, however it was being demolished early this year, to make way for a new apartment complex. Other passengers were located at the Intercontinental. 

We just stayed at the Mandarin in early Feb. this year. Fabulous hotel....and not demolished!

I could be wrong but we were in a G cabin (bottom of the boat) on the Splendor. We only had a shower, although it was the biggest shower EVER. I'm quite sure we had a clothes line in there.
