And while the restaurants are sometimes rather warm, on other occasions they can be quite cool, so people are glad of a jacket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are decks below the ones used by passengers. Sometimes you pass through one, while boarding a tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is desperately searching for an alternative cruise now and think he might have found one,another bucket list cruise.... 12 November 2023 Northern lights Queen Victoria... Has anyone done this cruise? Does Cunard also give you a month's grace to celebrate your birthday on board? Have you checked availability yet? According to Cunard’s website this cruise is looking just about full with maybe the odd cabin not taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I noticed in there which I don't recall seeing before is that shareholder OBC cannot be used for paying gratuities! I noticed that I definitely used mine in September but obviously going forward may not be able to. Going onboard in 3 weeks so will be interesting to check. Daughter rebought her shares and has the OBC applied within 4 weeks to sail but over 3. Application was turned round in less than 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
