I am not sure if you are paying in sterling but regarding the price of the wine package I have just purchased one for my January cruise. I  was charged in sterling and the exchange rate worked out at $1.35 against the published dollar price.  That makes the package even more of a saving for UK passengers as the market rate for sterling is $1.26 to $1.30 at the moment.

Can you purchase the wine package via the cruise personaliser ?

Hi Hattie ,enjoying your reports.

If you have time can you check out 4045 as we have this cabin for our next cruise.

I had that problem to start with.

 

What I did was "right-click" on where the attachment was not showing and select "Open in new tab". Then I was asked to Logon to Cruise Critic (which I already was). As soon as a logged in again I could then see the attachments (and have been to now ever since I did that).

 

Maybe just trying logging off and back on again to the site ?

Thanks, I have tried all of the above with no success.:o

:(I am unable to see your attachments

There were no letters on Azura 13th - 27th April.

My daughter and I were on that cruise with some friends and they each received a letter.

I however did not.We all removed the auto gratuities and tipped in cash.

Thanks for the advice, will link the bookings to be sure.

Hi we are on Azura in a few weeks and have friends travelling on the same cruise.

We have opted for freedom dining as have our friends.

My question is, do we need to link the bookings to ensure we are allocated the same restaurant or is it ok to go to any.

TIA.

Can someone point me in the right direction ?

I am trying to look at the wine packages for our upcoming cruise.

Have looked on the VP but I cannot find it.

I have had the equivalent on QV 4005.Balcony was bigger and as Hattie says Deck 4 is convenient.

Message from our travel agent yesterday, offer from PO to upgrade our 2 superior deluxe balcony cabins for 2 suites on Riviera deck at a cost of £200 pp, a total cost of £800 for the 4 of us for a weeks cruise. Happy with what we had so declined. All other grades of cabin sold out except for suites.

Have you filled in all your details on the cruise personaliser ?

I ask because I recently travelled on a saver fare guarantee and thought I had entered all my details but realised I had missed off insurance details.

As soon as I entered them got cabin allocated next day.

Just a thought.

No-one is allowed to smoke on either of the decks outside The Glass House or outside Java.

 

The outside smoking deck you are possibly thinking about is on the port side outside The Live Lounge.

Hi I have been on Britannia last month with my friend who is a smoker.

She along with many more were smoking outside on this deck but I am not sure if it was outside Java or the Glasshouse.

I certainly would not book a cabin above the smoking area.

How soon before the cruise were you told that the pick up time was going to be 11am and is 3pm the new time for coach arrivals?

We were informed a few days after we booked the coach.Not sure if this is the new time for coach arrivals or not.

Just back from Britannia last Sunday.Picked up at Keele at11am ! I was surprised it was so late as normally it is 9am.

Told it was to coincide with our boarding time of 3pm.

Coach was Ellisons to Southampton brand new coach and very luxurious.

Return was on Westbus an old coach but comfortable enough.

Both journeys were uneventful.

We have a cabin !

Thank you very much PO a nice upgrade from our guarantee booking.:D

Hi still no cabin allocated

Should I be getting worried ?

Oh no why do u not have a cabin I don't understand? We got our number when we booked in fact we got to pick what one we wanted cx

Hi we booked a saver fare so have to wait for our cabin to be allocted.

:(We also sail on 25th and do not have a cabin as yet never mind a ticket !

Waiting for my cabin too.

From past experience usually about 2 weeks before sailing.

We go in just over 4 weeks too.

Hi sorry to hear this, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer April 2013 and we had 2 cruises booked.

My surgeon provided a letter for my insurance company and they paid up with no problems.

I am 4 years down the line after a lot of treatment and clear of cancer.

I wish you and your wife well.

Anybody used these before on a fly-cruise?

Yes we flew with them in 2015 to join QV in Athens.

No problems at all.

Have booked several saver fares with Cunard and always received the OBC.

We are just back from QV 2 days ago.

We had 1041 , great location would book this stateroom again even though we normally have a balcony.

We received a call from our agent today

Upgrade from 2 oceanview to the family suite free of charge.

Happy bunnies thanks Princess.

OK' date=' the bank rate that I'm seeing for pounds is $1.31. At that rate, your beverage package would be costing your $51 per day.

 

Since the going rate for the package is $56 per day, that means Princess is giving you an exchange rate of $1.43/

 

Bottom line, right now Princess is giving you a better rate than any bank. Buy it now in pounds.

 

You might also want to consider pre-paying your tips in pounds. If you wait and use money that you've converted to dollars, you'll pay more.[/quote']

 

Thanks for the advice,that is helpful.
