But there is something fun about the onboard service; the funny meals, the champagne and films. We’re lucky enough to have flown in premium cabins a fair few times (always for leisure) but never frequent enough for the novelty to wear off.

What would you do - sleep and be spritely for day 1 of holiday or savour and risk being zombie like with a toddler in tow?
Hi,


I did this in Jun 2022 ( albeit in F) . Had a quick meal on board ( skipped the movies) slept for 4 hrs then breakfast ( easier to do in F) I did feel tired but the hotel allowed a check in at 0900 so went for a walk then relaxed by the pool. Even getting a few hours sleep on board helps ime.

If in Club I would be tempted to dine in the lounge then sleep and have breakfast on board. I might be tempted to book a day room on arrival or arrange with the hotel for an early check in or book for the night before and comment that you will be arriving at 0830

Regards

TBS
