QM2 has two levels to the dining room. For all its size, I haven't found the Britannia restaurant to be too noisy. 

We were back in Briannia for a short cruise last September, I'd forgotten what a nice "vibe" the restaurant had compared to the Grills.

Here's an extract from our 2016 cruise on QE in Britannia, 6 Entreees so 30% veggie

Looking at that menu and reading some of the recent QM2 reviews, I struggle to see how people find the food boring and tasteless on board - I know food is subjective, but I'd happily order everything one that menu except goats cheese tart, since that is the work of the Devil

No, if everyone goes against the tide it's conformity - sorry for the pedantry

The QV Chart Room menu from last October's cruise list Fentiman's Brewed Ginger Beer, whether they actually have it available is a moot point, they didn't have any Dandelion & Burdock when requested.

The gym is free - some classes are extra chage

But better than the wall - use the ceiling, hooks placed on the wall will slide down

This was from our TA in 2019 - it was certainly open at 7am and the promenade deck is a nice way of cooling down after a run on the treadmills

This is from last October's QV cruise -Link to Daily Programmes...

I'm not sure it would, Whispering Angel was included in the Commodore's wine package, and those wines tend to be in excess of $60 per bottle or $15 for a medium glass. I've just had a look at the chart room menu from last year on QE and it looks to be just outside the limit for a small glass

Sorry for stealing your thunder, it does look the same

Has anyone seen the PG bathrooms yet - are they still shower over bath ? If so I'm envious of the Britannia guests being able to get their hair wet - PG showers on QE/QV are chest height for me.

Same - He tried the Indian pop-up on QV and it was very nice, but I'm not sure I'd pass over an  evening meal in the Grills restaurant for this even with my Diamond perk unless there was nothing we really fancied at all

Can anyone confirm there are TV's in the golden lion on Queen Elizabeth? Have tried looking at pictures but have not been able to spot any.

Several

Yes - trim the excess off the labels, fold in half lengthways and then fold in half across the middle - I have my name and phone hidden inside - if access is needed then the porters can just extract the label from the holder  - see below

These all fitted under the bed - it took a bit of stacking cases in cases, but it worked in included  Jane's hand luggage, not shown (a smaller version of the top red suitcase)

Alternatively get a set of these from Amazon - Luggage Tags - Link  and fit them once you've retrieved your luggage at the airport - other brands are available (Top Tip - Print labels at 130% and trim the excess before folding for a perfect fit)

We did a TA followed by a Caribbean cruise in 2019 flying back to the uk from NYC, that was 19 nights and didn't want to get off, so much so we investigated returning with QM2 rather than fly but the cost was a bit to steep.

No drill as such for us last year. Each time, we checked in on boarding at the designated drill section [can't remember if it was with boarding passes or we had to nip to the cabin for our cruise cards]  and that was that.The 'drill' info., was on a loop on the television.

edit

It can be done any time up to around 4pm.

Boarding passes worked on QV last time we did it

The water bombers were out training earlier this week. Quite late for them. They usually start around a month earlier. And they only did two passes of the bay, scooping up and dropping their load.

 

 They were doing the same in the bay at Port de Pollenca in Mallorca last week

Just adding the email address and  in case people do require it

Jane recieved an email asking her to fill in a new survey today, which she handed off to me and several of the questions involved printed luggage lables including this one

I selected the luggage labels

I have the  full '24-Jan27 brochure and it most definitely states 4001 to 4042 are metal fronted and so the two mentioned on this thread have glass fronted balconies.

Yep, looking at that photo it looks like the last 3 balcony cabins are glass fronted, but whether glass or metal, they are well worth it
