QV: Eastern Mediterranean

[edwardh1]

Posted above "Not at all surprising ! This was a fly cruise and the demographic of the guest from the Med, who board the ship for their vacation changes."

 

what is a vacation change? I don't know what that is.

And whats a fly cruise- is there something wrong about a fly cruise?

 

In the med are most passengers Brits?

On our QV Rome to Rome it was 80% brits, on the same ship Miami to Panama and back (don't know the % Brits but maybe much lower), due to Americans getting on in Miami.

in the Med on leaving a port no one went on deck to watch the departure. Maybe 5 people.

In miami and the islands it was a big fantail party with DJ or small band and drinks as the island slowly receded away from the stern.

what causes this difference?

I think the "changes" referred to the guest demographic rather than the vacation.

We are just off the QV on a round trip from Istanbul. I didn't see anyone in the Britannia not adhering to the dress code on any night - and on formal nights I would say 90% were in black tie/tuxedo, the rest in dark suits and ties. Around the ship there were maybe 1 or 2 people in more casual clothes, but only early on, later no sign of them. From my experience, no sign of standards slipping, even on a fly/cruise in the Med!

Hi margarita fan,

Thanks for reporting back, that was our experience on our Cunard fly cruise as well.
