With Prince William and Kate Middleton announcing their engagement this week and the date being set for 29th April 2011, the cruise lines have had a race to announce their plans.Cunard were the first to announce that the ceremony will be shown on in the Royal Court Theatre on all 3 of their ships. They will also serve a commerative dinner menu and a champagne toast in the evening.
I'm not sure how many people will be planning on watching the wedding but Queen Mary 2's theatre will hold 1000 passengers and if that's not enough the event will be screened in her planitarium Illuminations aswell.
Cunard have a Royal Heritage with Her Majesty The Queen naming Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth, and The Duchess of Cornwall, formally Camilla Parker Bowles naming Queen Victoria. It is hardly surprising that they were the first to announce their plans
P&O followed quickly announcing that the wedding would be shown on all of their 7 ships but details are yet to follow.
Meanwhile - if you are considering travelling around this time you are best to book now. With Easter the weekend before prices are already high, and with the additional bank holiday being announced for the same weekend as the the May bank holiday on Monday 2nd May, the prices will remain high for the following week too. I am anticipating cruise lines increasing their prices as demand for travel this week increases.
The good news is you can now have 10 days off work from Good Friday through to Tuesday 2nd May with only 3 days leave being required. I think I'll put my holiday request in now.
