Major QM2 interior refit 2016

I can see why it looks a bit confusing at first glance . There appears to be mirrored glass in the new rendering (from where the lifts have been removed) and it reflects the copper/metal mural from the opposite side. I think :confused:

You're right, they've increased the number of mirrors that currently exist between the lifts to cover the whole wall.

Just one more reason for all of us to conform to the dress code ; )

Just one more reason for me to go on a diet!

They'll be forced to use the already crowded "B" lifts just forward... :( . What would have been a journey of seconds, will now take minutes.

Those of us who can use the stairs, should use the stairs!

If I keep using the stairs, maybe I won't need a diet?

Joking aside, I have one of these fitness bands. Taking the Stairs makes more of a difference than I'd realised & a good brisk walk of a few miles does wonders for ones health.

A Daily routine of, say 8 laps of the promenade and completely ditching the lifts during your voyage will do wonders.

I have worn my Fitbit at sea for several years now. One does get addicted to having the feedback.

While the "steps" feature might be fairly accurate, I believe the "flights of stairs" count can be greatly enhanced by the ship's motion. ….Or, did I really climb over a hundred flights in single day? (I only wish)

Looks like Cunard has posted the new deck plans for QM2 post refit. The atrium elevators are gone.

I would simply have a cocktail and consider myself well excercised :D.

Yes, Brigitte : ) There is that approach, too. …which I agree has its merits.

I just read that only half of the stateroom are being refit during the deadlock. I was really looking forward to a fresh room in September. Do you think they would allow one to specifically book a stateroom slated for a refit or does one simply roll the dice? We are booked in a category BY and an IE right now. Will probably call tomorrow.

Do you have specific rooms booked or have you booked guarantee rooms? Cunard say insides and BY categories will be refurbished next year.

Queen Mary 2 will be refurbishing the following grades in 2016 dry dock:

• All Grills Suites

• All Britannia Club balconies on Deck 12

• All Britannia Balconies on Deck 12, Deck 11 and Deck 8

• All Britannia Obstructed Balconies on Deck 8

• BU/BV Grades of Britannia Sheltered balconies on Deck 6

Queen Mary 2 will be refurbishing the following staterooms in service over 2017:

• Remaining BZ/BY Grades of Britannia Sheltered Balconies on Deck 6

• All Britannia sheltered balconies on Deck 4 and Deck 5

• All Britannia Ocean Views

• All Britannia Atrium Views

• All Britannia Insides

This is very useful information - thank you so much! :)

Yes very useful. I will call this morning we have an assigned stateroom, as I want to be right across from the inside. My options are probably limited but I'll try. One of the reasons I booked was the refit. Should have done my research.

Managed to book a stateroom that will be guaranteed refurbished! Adding to that, my cruise consultant found an inside right across the hall, which I need, as my kids will be with us. Barry, at Cunard is the absolute best. Worked with him on our TA sailing and again this time. Wonderful service.

Looking forward to a brand new inside on deck 13 for my B-B TA in December. Long way from the MDR but the exercise will be wonderful as I do not use the elevators.

Back to back TA! That is a dream of mine. No long overseas flights. Enjoy.

I am also in a deck 13 inside on the Dec BtB TA. I rocked and rolled on deck 12 last month on the BtB; now I will be rocking and rolling on deck 13!

Thank you, Ray66, for sharing this information.

You might swing over to the roll call for the second half of this B-B ( Dec 16 2016) and sign in. No sense opening up a true B-B roll call. We can set up a CC Meet and Greet out of NYC on this one if there are enough folks.

Thanks for this Ray, I have booked an obstructed balcony on deck 8 for the 1st November short trip. It's good to know it will have been refitted. I just hope I don't get "upgraded" to sheltered balcony that has not been upgraded.

Thank you for the link. The pictures should look good in the staterooms. Something interesting to look at when there's nothing on the TV. :D

Quite possibly if you didn't put "no upgrade". Hopefully you will get upgraded to a BU/BV sheltered on deck 6.

Odd wording, "over 2017." That seems a long time to finish this process. Any bets on whether the BU/BV cabins will really be done by the end of the dry dock? And if they are, how intrusive will it be to have refits done to other cabins on the same deck? I want to book Christmas, and I'm thinking I have to go for a higher balcony grade just to be sure we'll have a refurbished room and no commotion down the hall.

Thanks for posting this. I've been wondering what the B/W photos I could see in the room images would be. I was able to walk through the Cunard building last July. It was special because that's probably the last building my grandmother walked through in the UK before sailing to the US.
