Thanks everyone, appreciate it! I will be sure to write a trip report when I return. I did not know about the limited passes at the Aquatherapy pool (which is my number one goal for the adventure) or about that great spot for the sail away. Thanks to all!

Thank you so much Jimmybean! That was so helpful and it made us even more excited about our trip! I'll leave the car reservation as it is and look forward to everything.

I just received my e-tickets for boarding the QM2. This is our first voyage so we are just learning everything! The tickets say our boarding time is 3pm. I have already booked a car to drop us off in Brooklyn at the NY port at noon. Will it be at all possible for us to board early then? Or should I call the car service to change our drop off time? I really don't want to hang out waiting in the cruise terminal for 3 hours. I am hoping to get on board and take some pictures and get spa passes, make reservations for alternate dining etc. Any experience with boarding early?

Thanks! We will definitely give it a try!

Hello,

I'm curious about the alternate dining in King's Court, evenings on the QM2. Should we make reservations as soon as we embark? Is it possible to make same-day reservations? We are interested in Lotus, La Piazza, and the Chef's Galley. Has anyone enjoyed any of these?

Both are very helpful, thank you!

Hello all,

Does anyone know if Cunard offers transportation from London direct to the port at Southampton? I am finding this more confusing than the New York port options on our round-trip transatlantic. Is there a shuttle bus from a set point for passengers?

Many thanks
