Craigrlewis Posted October 4, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Enjoy the views. Enjoy the way at times you can feel like the only passengers on board. Enjoy the fine food in what ever venue you chose to eat. Enjoy the promenade deck and walk many laps around convincing yourself for every lap you can go eat some more food. Enjoy the ambience of the library. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted October 4, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Enjoy the wide variety of live music all over the ship. Enjoy sitting in the Commodore Club in the day, when nobody pressurises you to buy a drink. Enjoy the library. Enjoy the calm and serenity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlwfarm Posted October 4, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Thank you everyone. I read somewhere the self laundry is free to use and they even supply soap. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted October 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Yes, you can do as much of your own laundry as you like for free. It's a popular activity though so there might be queues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted October 4, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 4, 2023 But also the ship’s laundry service is good value and very efficient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORT ROYAL Posted October 4, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2023 “Free” of restrictions……. No limit on the amount spirits, beer and wine being brought onboard. Cunard treat their guests as responsible adults. There is a nominal corkage charge for own wine being consumed in a MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhiannon84 Posted October 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 4, 2023 There's a sauna in each of the changing rooms by the spa/gym. Has one of the best views as floor to ceiling windows. If you're not a morning person but try to be, order coffee on the breakfast room service as your wake up call, then have a leisurely sit down breakfast once you're feeling more alive!

Ravensbourne1960 Posted October 7, 2023 #14 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Cunard is the only line I've been on so far that has free fruit juice in the buffet 24 hours a day. And very tasty it is too! Other lines turn the machines off at 11 in the morning or so. There is a good free room service menu too. They craftily hide the menu in the desk drawer so I didn't spot it until the last night of my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
