I would be surprised if Arcadia went before Aurora as she is younger with a lot more balcony cabins.

Quite, and Aurora was already out of date when she launched, with most ships debuting around the end of the century having a majority of balcony cabins.

Hasn't done her much harm though. At least she looks like a ship (where's my tin hat?...😄).

Wouldn't disagree. 

However, once you get above, say 3000 pax, how many cruise ships don't look like a block of flats?

None. They all do.

I think Voyager and Freedom class are very good looking cruise liners.

I certainly agree that the RCL ships generally have better lines than most others. They still look like a block of flats on water though...(imho) 😄

I was expecting to read about drinks menus and prices, silly boy.

Maybe someone will post the drinks menus from Brittania and get it back on track. 😁. From what if seen a lot of cocktails have now gone up over £6.95 so makes the drinks package pointless if you like cocktails.

What about the ice wine, how much is that now 😞

Didn’t see any wines over £6.95 for the 175ml

[davecttr]

The ice wine is one of the offerings in the Glass House, or it used to be, expensive but nice.

 

Hopefully we will get enough drinks menus and prices in the next few weeks so I can decide if the drinks package is worth it for my August cruise.

Indeed, and it was available on the drinks package, wonder if it is above the price threshold now though.  Lovely drop of fizz, and preferable (to my tastebuds anyway) to the usual names in champagne.

I don’t think the Peller Ice Cuvee will be under £6.95 It was £6.95 for 125ml last time we were onboard:(

I'm shocked! Thats brilliant Thanks for sharing. Does anyone else have any more drinks menus from the staycation cruise?

I hope the drinks menu is just a starter with more to follow. The whisky choices are poor,  as are the beers, and where's the Peroni😲??

I think Peroni was always on draft.

No it wasn't, Frank  would have a bottle sometimes, because not all venues had Peroni on draft.

Peroni was offered on tap in Sindu,  and there was a tap for it at the Serenity Bar.  

I don’t seem to have saved a PDF of The Glass House Menu, probably because this cruise I stuck to the Peller Iced Cuvee, as the weather was so good we weren’t inside during the day. 
Peller was £6.95 or £36.95 per bottle.

the rose version £7.45.

Thanks for that.

Being mainly a beer and wine drinker, at first glance it looks to me as if the wine prices have increased by about £1 for a large glass, compared to February 2020, or am I being unrealistic with regards to historic pricing?  The house wine,  for example, has increased by £1.05 for a large glass,  compared to the prices shown on the "Yummy Mummy" list.  https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk/po-cruises-drinks-menus-2019/

You are right, I wish I had The Glass House Menu, a large Miravel Rose was just shy of £10 in September 2019.  I’m sure it was about £11 this cruise.  
there is no signing or receipts so can’t go and check individual prices.

Just to add, there were No QR codes to download menus,  all menus are allegedly single use, not sure how I feel about this.

The menus are nicely printed, on good quality cardstock. Only given on request, it felt “normal” to hold a good quality menu.  Once used I was told the corners are torn off and the menu destroyed.  
 

Once we realised this my DH just scanned into notes so we had a version on our phone.
