Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We took a 20-month-old on the QE in August for a five-night cruise and meant to write up a full review but never got round to it. We were in QG and were rather nervous having been in the Grills six or so times as a couple without kids and having seen how few children were typically in the Grills specifically or on the ship more generally for some sailings. We worried a lot about the night nursery but needn't have in general. The first curveball happened on the first night - with no warning we were informed it would not run, so having got our little one's bedtime perfectly aligned with the night nursery time, we ended up having her with us at dinner. From then on, it worked pretty well. We were very lucky in that no other parents made use of the night nursery during our trip. This meant we were able to carry her in her pyjamas from our cabin and settle her there. I honestly don't know how it would have worked otherwise. Other aspects of the trip worked really well for us. The restaurant staff could not do enough to look after our daughter and spoilt her rotten. Room service, which we hadn't made much use of before, is suddenly a God-send when you have a toddler requiring snacks at all hours of the day. I agree entirely than Cunard could do a lot more to improve their communication in this area. While we know they are not a family-centred line, they do accept toddlers on board and it is nerve-racking for parents to have so little information.
  2. Great to hear about this. It sounds like a silly thing to say but I am always grateful for those who are keeping the QG off-menu tradition alive!
  3. My advice would be that asking politely will do no harm at all. Like others, our off-menu requests have always been at lunch and dinner (by off-menu I mean something entirely different to what is offered, rather than tweaks to it) but that surely doesn't rule out breakfast. Part of the fun of QG is off-menu ordering so within reason one shouldn't feel bad about making use of the facility.
