Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. There are no coffee machines in the Britannia Category, only in Grills & Britannia Club. Coffee machine facilities are part of the 'enhanced amenities' in Grills/Club only.
  2. Thank You , Keep em coming Solent Richard 👍
  3. The first procedure you'll need to do 'on the morning of arrival into Southampton' will be to collect NEW replacement stateroom keys ( even if you are still occupying your original stateroom) If you decide to disembark in Southampton to explore you will Swipe OUT at the gangway with the old card, and swipe IN on your return with your new key card. You will be able to embark back on the ship only when the embarkation procedures are underway ( You by-pass the check-in desks and show your key card to the terminal agent - you mention you are In -Transit. Re your concerns about seasickness , Queen Mary 2 is poles apart from a cruise ship Silversea, you are sailing on a Transatlantic Ocean Liner, built for the itinerary you have chosen .
  4. Gosh it's going to be dark before I end up driving home. 🥲
  5. As Solent Richard says , We can't give toooo much away 🤫 , however, watch this space 😉
  6. Ooops you are Correct. 🤭 Didn't read 'the date' of original post correctly Thanks for the correction . 👍
  7. The speakers are ; Bill Miller ( Mr Ocean Liner) an amazing speaker, well known to Cunard (QM2) Seasoned guests. You don't want to miss his professional presentation/s Stephen Payne OBE ( chief designer of QM2) Jonathan Quayle (Ocean Liner enthusiast ) I'm also onboard this 'Themed Voyage' we will be celebrating the 400th transatlantic crossing
  8. Yes balcony cabins have dividers that can be opened, you need to contact your stateroom steward who will arrange for it to be open. Opening the divider doesn't make much of a difference to the size of a balcony as 'half of the divider swings open and across to a static divider', however, what it will give you is full access to the balcony next door.
  9. They do, yes and it's quite a gig for them. Fly out to JFK, board QM2 and don't do anything for the first three days, enjoying leisure time below deck and crew bar 😅 then on duty for a couple of hours over two days just looking through passports - and waving our American cousins through without any hassle .😉
  10. Just resurrected your post BellaAnna , hopefully by now you will have received the booklet (Your Ocean Awaits) I and many others have received a copy this morning for the Maiden itinerary May 3rd. About time some of these agents at customer service took a crash course in Cunard corporate awareness .
  11. Sail Seabourn or Silversea - just the same as I've experience recently . Enjoy the rest of your day.
  12. Immigration procedures on Cunard ( East Bound crossing) are hassle free - It takes place over two days in a venue whilst onboard the crossing . American nationals Just pass through and wave their passport. 😉
  13. Bright Lights is a completely new concept on Cunard Line , Cunard have been very quiet on providing us with more information relating to this venue. What we understand is, there probably will be a need to book 'a table' for the early evenings performances we understand it's a sort of supper club ? however, after the performance is over the venue is open to all for late night dancing. Re; booking for some Theatre productions , I expect Cunard are referring to one-off famous entertainers such as Russell Watson.(May 3rd) I believe we will need to collect a ticket for whichever performance we opt to attend. Very much the same as some other famous entertainers I've had the opportunity experience over the years on QM2 ( Sting, Carly Simon, James Taylor to name a few)
  14. No, Cunard Onboard Credit is what it is - For use onboard .
  15. It's all very easy transferring from one Cunard ship to another, no hassle at all . You'll find that you are not the only QA guest doing the same .
