Host Hattie Posted Saturday at 12:08 PM Author #129 Share Posted Saturday at 12:08 PM Had a lovely few hours on the beach but with a pair of sun loungers at €60 it would have been nice to stay a bit longer ! They were very comfortable...but we were only renting them, not buying them 😂 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted Saturday at 01:42 PM Author #130 Share Posted Saturday at 01:42 PM The advantage of a short excursion is that we were back in time for Afternoon tea. Scones tasted fresh and cream was clotted. We have beautiful views of Ajaccio from our balcony. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MylesS Posted Saturday at 03:15 PM #131 Share Posted Saturday at 03:15 PM Made it to Heathrow for my flight to Rome tonight, enjoying a somewhat cold beverage while waiting (featuring very comfortable flying attire, I might add) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure they put the chocolate shavings on top. Also, wondering if there are any gin or vodka martinis available for $12 or less. We have the complimentary drinks package on an upcoming voyage and I saw a recent posting saying there were none. Thanks HH Jack Not on the menu anymore but I've had it before. You'll struggle for cocktails under $12, unless they ring them through as the individual items. These are the only ones I could find. I don't have a package but my 2 favourites are there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're glad that doesn't include us ! Thank you! It was a bit tricky finding accommodation so last minute, almost ended up just staying at the airport for 12 hours. I do wonder how many people will be embarking tomorrow, there seemed to be a lot of availability left. My boarding time is 12:15 so that’s perfect. Surprised there’s 300 people leaving though, I only thought it would be around 100! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted Saturday at 04:24 PM Author #135 Share Posted Saturday at 04:24 PM I didn't actually hear the Captain say that but our neighbour has just told his wife on their balcony as we're sailing away from Ajaccio! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted Saturday at 08:38 PM #138 Share Posted Saturday at 08:38 PM (edited) Given Annie's lack of interest in Cunard history, I don't suppose she offers the QE2 cocktail? (QE this summer) or a Mary Picford? ($11.50, can't find a picture of it) Edited Saturday at 08:40 PM by 3rdGenCunarder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millieloulou Posted Saturday at 09:27 PM #139 Share Posted Saturday at 09:27 PM QE2 is my favourite cocktail. Was not available on our Queen Anne voyage.Probably could have asked for it to be made, but Commadore Club so noisy, the waiter could just about hear us.

Oh, that’s a shame - it’s a traditional first-night indulgence for me once aboard. I’ll have to ask if they can make me one ‘off menu’. Failing that, maybe time to establish a new tradition (although I fear the Luxardo cherry will have to be non-negotiable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like expensive drinks, there some form of champagne cocktail with one at the bottom of the glass. Will find the name of it when I board later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamingOfSunnyDays Posted Sunday at 08:41 AM #142 Share Posted Sunday at 08:41 AM Can anyone find out if they are still serving Cunard Black in Cans in and not offering the tasting flight in the Golden Lion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted Sunday at 08:52 AM Author #143 Share Posted Sunday at 08:52 AM We enjoyed sailaway from Ajaccio with the last of the Cava brought onboard in Barcelona. Then went for a fairly early dinner. There were a couple of cases out in the corridor. We'd pre-ordered the Rack of Lamb as the main courses on offer didn't appeal. It was very good. The Maitre D' was flambéing something for the table next to us. In an effort to explore a bit more of the ship we tried the Carinthia Lounge for an after dinner drink. A limited selection but it was nice to see Champagne flights on offer. We had a glass of the Demi Sec. There were only a couple of other tables occupied. We went to the acrobat/juggling show, postponed from the previous night due to the weather. We entered the theatre via Deck 3 so were further back but the view was still OK. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MylesS Posted Sunday at 11:02 AM #145 Share Posted Sunday at 11:02 AM Beautiful day in Civitavecchia, most of which so far was spent killing time. Speedy check in (maybe a new personal best?) - and only a 15 minute wait before getting onboard. I was a little worried when my boarding pass wasn’t scanning at the gangway, but luckily security were able to mark me onboard manually. Queen Anne as seen from near where I was staying: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Hattie Posted Sunday at 05:08 PM Author #150 Share Posted Sunday at 05:08 PM It has been a beautiful day but with 6 ships in I imagine everywhere was very busy. After a lie-in and an early lunch we spent the afternoon on Deck 11. It is a bit noisy but wasn't busy with people and we had a couple of nice drinks from the Cabana Bar before sailaway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
