I also switched to InsureandGo for our upcoming cruise. I made a pre-existing declaration for breast cancer diagnosed and treated four years ago and this is the first time an insurance company has not charged me an excess! We were also able to purchase a medical only policy which a few of the companies now offer.

Can anyone tell me about the Norwegian Star? We're looking at a

Mediterranean cruise next year in a penthouse. Are the lower deck aft penthouse balconies private and covered ( for shade) or are they overlooked by the rooms above? It is difficult to see on the photos.

Balcony cabins on the Star should have a small coffee maker but to my mind the water doesn't get hot enough for tea.

Also the water going through those things always tastes of coffee, ugh!

We're departing on the Solstice 1st March and they are still not showing on the edocs. We will just have to get them at the pier.

I tuck it in my bra. My partner puts his in his pocket.

I got off the QM2 in Hong Kong on Monday after 16 nights on board. On the whole men adhered to the dress code and looked great but, in my opinion, on formal nights some of the women's outfits fell far short of what I would call "formal" and looked like clothes I would wear to the local bowls club on a Friday night ( if I had the misfortune to have such dubious taste). Typically you would see a man in a smart tuxedo accompanied by a woman in white or black slacks, flat casual sandals and a cross-over top made of t shirt material. I took one evening gown and several cocktail dresses and It was worth the effort. I agree with other posts, if you don't like dressing up then book with another line. The trip was wonderful and We will definitely be voyaging again with Cunard.

I would be interested in taking on board good quality white wines and paying the corkage fee in the dining room but how do you get them cold enough? Are the room fridges big enough to take bottles and would they chill it to the right temperature? In my experience, the fridges in cabins are not particularly useful; perhaps it's better to stick to reds?

Hello, could anyone tell me how to work out if the bed in a balcony room is next to the bathroom or balcony on this ship? Apologies if this has been answered before; I did a search but couldn't find anything. I would like to know this before making a booking. Thanks
