Does that mean anything, or just a fashion statement?? I think it probably does mean something but I don't know what! Perhaps someone else can answer. I think the men look great in these outfits.

Rare kernow Posted February 19, 2020 Author #52 Share Posted February 19, 2020 This sign up by the mini golf is kind of ironic (you need to zoom in to see properly). The whole area is covered in these stains and has been ever since we got on board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kernow Posted February 20, 2020 Author #54 Share Posted February 20, 2020 So far all of the shows in the theatre have been after dinner. Last night we went to see the headliner Ryan Molloy who played Frankie Valli in the West End version of Jersey Boys. It was a very enjoyable show, worth seeing if you like this kind of music. This morning we have just done a bridge tour, we were extremely lucky as we saw a pod of dolphins playing around the ship while we were up there. Unfortunately I didn't catch a photo. Apparently during the night we returned to Doha for a medical emergency, we slept through it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no kettle in our cabin but we haven't asked for one so don't know if we could get one if we wanted. We asked the steward for robes and had them the first night.

Thanks janice Yes, we actually looked in the shops yesterday as we have some non refundable obc to use up. If you let me know which spirits you are interested in I'll look for the price. We have just arrived in Abu Dhabi this morning and don't leave until tomorrow night so they won't open again until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kernow Posted February 21, 2020 Author #68 Share Posted February 21, 2020 So last night we had to collect our passports which the ship has been holding in order to go through immigration this morning in the terminal. We then had to get a ticket for a time slot to get off this morning. We got group 6, 9.15 am. Not sure if they will run to time so off to get ready now.

Rare kernow Posted February 21, 2020 Author #70 Share Posted February 21, 2020 We went to the Top Tier party last night at 5pm. LA is Simone who seems very nice, she had taken us on the bridge tour earlier. I was surprised that the C and A numbers were not as high as I was expecting, approx 800 in total. 180 ish Diamond. 87 Diamond plus and 18 Pinnacle. Diamond plus are not allowed in the CL but considering these numbers their explanations are just an excuse. Wish they would be honest and just make a new rule across the board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Courvoisier without a price is 43.99 or 2 for 70. Think you can read the prices on all the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
