phoebecat Posted June 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Masked Ball My husband and I are very much looking forward to our first Cunard cruise shortly and were delighted to hear that there is a masked ball on the trip. Given these "belt tightening" times, do you know if there are materials provided for us to make our own masks or should we bring our own? Alternatively, I've noticed that our local Poundworld store have recently taken in a supply of rather realistic David and Victoria Beckham masks which might be suitable. Do you think we would look out of place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted June 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2010 The type of masks worn are fancy eye ones like these http://www.displaycostume.com/store/files/images/large/d_309.jpg http://www.unitedmaskandparty.com/Masks/images/fancy_painted_half_masks.JPG You can take your own or buy one on the night on the ship.

BigMac1953 Posted June 8, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2010 In places such as Venice, you can buy masks at the ubiquitous stalls and pay less than half the on board price, if you really feel moved that way. Peter Shanks wears his figuratively. Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScientist_01 Posted June 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2010 In light of the pre-purchased OBC thread, I would imagine that there are a number of black highwayman's eye masks available directly from Cunard - just tell them they can keep the horse :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real PM Posted June 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Masked BallMy husband and I are very much looking forward to our first Cunard cruise shortly and were delighted to hear that there is a masked ball on the trip. Given these "belt tightening" times, do you know if there are materials provided for us to make our own masks or should we bring our own? Alternatively, I've noticed that our local Poundworld store have recently taken in a supply of rather realistic David and Victoria Beckham masks which might be suitable. Do you think we would look out of place? I was quite excited as well. On the night of the masked ball , I bought a mask as I entered the Queen's Room. I believe it cost $10.00--or it could have been $5.00, I can't remember which. And it is very nice. There were many to choose from. To tell you the truth there were very few participants and I never wore mine. But I have it as a souvenier of our cruise. It just wasn't quite the big deal that I thought it would be. But that was our cruise. It may be different on yours. Have a great cruise. Gail :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB1 Posted June 9, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 9, 2010 During the Qm2's world cruise there was a session hosted by Freda Singleton in which people could make their own masks. If this happens on your cruise then it will be advertised in the daily newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
