  1. No. One allowance per whole Voyage plan. Use just one and the other credit is unused. The way we got round it was to judiciously apply both our Diamond credits to daily internet purchase. We ended up with a zero internet bill for a 14 day cruise. but that's using our both our $135 Diamond credits.
  2. I'm sure you're correct. The excursion doesn't actually enter The Yukon as such. We went as far as Fraser and then looped back again and I don't think the route has changed all that much over the years although the latest itineraries, if a 40 ml round trip, will mean the White Pass Summit will be the loop area to come back from which also means it is a shorter distance than travelling to Fraser.
  3. To quote one of my favourite conservationists, John Muir who founded The Sierra Club 'In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks' edit Trivia The Muir Glacier in Glacier Bay is named after him
  4. I agree on portion size. Who needs to be wheelbarrowed off for disembarkation!!! The only pud I have is the occasional Crepes Suzette. I'm a cheese fan but am very particular and once staff get to know your likes, you find 'your' cheese has been carefully brought out of the fridge to let it 'mellow', just as I like it. That's great staff for you. 🙂
  5. If you want more, ask for more. I often end up with double appetisers if they are tasty. It just means any carbohydrates with the entrée are ignored!🙂
  6. The appetiser menu occasionally doesn't suit and I do like a couple of the a la carte appetisers but I have French Onion soup as a stand by and always caviar on the first and last night. I also admit the menu hasn't changed much over the years but so what as let's face it, in QG you can have what you want as long as it's ordered in advance to allow the kitchen to prepare it.
  7. Quiet yes, but can you see now why we went back a couple of times to 'do' the Inside Passage! If you've had a really great time, and want a more immersive dip into 'the bears and nature', try four nights at Knight Inlet. That was an experience never to be forgotten.
  8. Spawning calendar depends to a certain extent on the species but seeing the bears catch, or try to catch salmon in the Glendale River is an amazing sight too but that was mid August.
  9. We've added our own items onto the order card in the past and it’s been delivered so I’d say yes, you can as far as QG is concerned.
  10. Am I misunderstanding here as we use obc for grats., or service charge as we call it.
  11. As said, on another thread Posted 11 hours ago Can't edit The reason for the 'no charge' is the order off menu facility is available in the cabin too so as long as the meal comes from QG kitchen, there's no charge. However, ordering like that for room service will involve timing and last year, we ordered lunch off our Butler, at breakfast time.
  12. We were told by a senior member of staff, Queen Anne benefitted from 30% staff from each ship plus 10%new staff. How true that is I have no idea but if you were happy with the staff status quo/service on QV, what went wrong on QM2?
  13. I'm sure it wasn't on the menu but if asked for, it's chargeable whereas it's available every day if anyone wants it in QG. edit it doesn't have to be listed to be an available extra
  14. Yes. We always have the photo taken at check in desk.
  15. I am aware of both but some of our non UK friends might not be although PBS does a great job with UK comedy.
  16. I can picture Mrs Bouquet, drinking her Earl Grey from a QG china cup and balancing the saucer very carefully, little finger in the air and looking down on us plebs who love a stoneware mug of breakfast tea around 3pm on deck 10 or 11, depending on the ship! 😄
  17. Not at all.Very practical. These mugs have been a QG deck staple for donkey's years. Drop one and they don't shatter.
  18. As far as I know, there is already one charge for a certain QG item if asked for in PG, maybe more.
  19. We have a mixture. I'm old school and have the original and my husband has a mixture and we were used to taking adapters. We were sent into a state of pure panic last July when we found our refitted/revamped cabin on QV didn't have either and we weren't prepared as 'the cabin had usb ports' didn't it!! Deck 6 doesn't!!

  21. Apologies, mixing up posts. Yours was supposed to be just food and you got the cabin bit too. Good to know you're happy with it but as far as the restaurant is concerned, if unhappy today, get it sorted. 🙂
  22. A quick tip re room service menu. If wanting a chargeable dish off the room menu, QG or not, you will be charged. However, if you order the same meal through the the QG restaurant [via your Butler] I am assured you won't get charged. Didn't try it out but that's what our wonderful Butler told us in May.
  23. Go and see the Concierge for your first port of call. They are often more proactive than Front Desk.
  24. Yes. There are and we were lulled into a sense of false security 'knowing' the refit had included usb ports. Deck 7 aft -loads so didn't need our adapters. Great news so when our next cruise was on deck 6 we left our usb adapters at home. Big mistake. Deck 6 aft - none but luckily, our Butler lent us one of hers. On Annie, we didn't take a chance so took adapters. There were loads of ports in our cabin, of both types.
