Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I think if we are paying a service charge then fewer people will want to tip as well?
  2. All sounds good thank you very much - Cinzano and lemonade all round!
  3. I was aiming to ask for a bottle of simple single malt whisky, to make our own cocktails - that costs more than many Champagnes?
  4. It was 1980. Yes everything would all be much better value for money!
  5. Ah!!! When I was a girl I worked in New York for a year after graduation and the rate was 2.4 dollars to each pound. We could go into any shop and buy anything. Those were the days, sob!
  6. Thank you very much. Our friends are aiming to book to come with us, but not in a Queens cabin. If we invite them to our room for drinks, will we be able to give them cocktails or wine too, without extra charge?
  7. Our first Cunard cruise which I have just booked will be our first non-all-inclusive cruise (indeed our 2nd ocean cruise ever). How compulsory is the hotel etc service charge? - which seems very high for us poor Brits who earn half the salaries of similar Americans due to our awful exchange rate nowadays...... How long is the queue to take it off (I understand it is at the Pursers desk on embarkation day - does this have to be done then?), and how then do you tip please - an envelope in your cabin? thrusting cash - UK or US? - at service personnel - and if so when? Thank you for your help! PS I assume all drinks still go onto our bill with a 15% charge added to each one?
  8. This will be our first Cunard cruise. It says you get "2 included bottles of wine or spirits" in your cabin minibar. Is this daily or once for the whole cruise? Because we may make a bottle of spirits last for 7 days, but not a bottle of wine. And if we do choose to make our own cocktails, are the bottles of orange juice eg replaced every day, and if not, do you request those from room service, and is there a charge for this? Thank you for your help.
  9. We have decided to take the QA Spain cruise in 2026. It has 2 sea days - and Brittany Ferries also has a sea day going out and one coming back - and I know there will be a lot more fun things to do than on the ferry!
  10. Just a PS - do you know how to print out the itinerary of a cruise? I cannot see that on the cruise page.
  11. Thank you very much LittleFish1976, I look forward to seeing your report. Oh no! It is in a few years time we will be able to go (after husband retires, as is too long away before then). So no Japan and no Australia? Maybe they will reconsider nearer the time?
  12. Thank you both. More to think about!
