Hopefully, by the time you travel, things will be sort of back to normal.

 

You will be amongst the first to board. QG is first. then PG, then Diamond, Platinum followed by everybody else. The QG & PG (normally) open for lunch. Your assigned table will be on a card in your room, but it's best to get to the restaurant at 1:00pm sharp and speak to the Maitre d' if your table is not to your liking. There is a "pecking order" so don't expect the best tables.

 

Order your 2 x spirits asap and with a bit of luck you'll have them late afternoon. I always get extra beers as you only get 4 small tins.

 

The pillows are very soft so we get them double stuffed.

 

I always need more coat hangers (for my shirts) so ask your butler right away if you need any more.

 

Canapes will be delivered late afternoon, but we tell the butler not to bother. Hot canapes are available in the Grill Lounge before dinner.

 

The Grill Lounge also serves (free) coffee from mid-morning.

 

The next day's menus will appear every evening. Peruse them and if nothing excites you, tell the Maitre d' what you would like instead. Some dishes require a few days notice, e.g. Peking Duck is a minimum of 3 days.

 

There's lots more, but feel free to ask away about anything specifically.

Thanks Stewart! 
 

I really hope it will be back to normal mostly and fingers crossed the cruise goes ahead. 
 

Myself and grandparents are Diamond members but this will be my partners first cruise. 
 

ohh how does the pecking order for the tables work? Tbh I’ll just be happy to dine in one of the grill restaurants. We’ve requested a table for 4 and linked the booking with my grandparents so I assume this will not be an issue, and if so I’m happy to go and sort it. 
 

Thanks for the tip, will get the two bottles ordered as soon as we get on there! My grandad and partner both drink beer so will get some extra cans. 
 

Does the grill lounge have a fully stocked bar? E.g do they do cocktails and draft beer/lager? and would you recommend going there instead of the commodore club for pre dinner canapés? 
 

if anyone has pictures of Q5 grade, the queens grill restaurant or the grill lounge on the QM2 please do share!

On one occasion when we took my parents, we booked one room on each side so we could sit out in the sun using each other's rooms, rather than be adjoining.

that is a good idea! 
 

I decided on adjoining rooms as it’s going to be January so I doubt there will be much sun. 
 

If anyone has tips for being in a queens grill suite then please share! Is there anything that we should definitely do? Only going to be on the ship for 4 nights. 

Are drinks in the stateroom replenished as soon as you finish?

Unless you want two adjoining cabins I would never book cabins with connecting doors as these have.  There can be more noise and the interconnecting door spoils the look of a beautiful cabin.  Just my opinion!

Sorry I should of said I have booked both of these cabins, I am travelling with my grandparents 🙂 

so I purposely booked these rooms for the adjoining aspect! I may regret it down the line lol 

I seem to have this problem a lot and the voyage sales on the QV was useless. If you can get it sorted before you sale then that’s your best bet. It’s very frustrating. 
 

Ever since booking through a TA, I’ve had this problem, if I book direct then there’s no issue. 

Hi all, 

As my cruise has been cancelled again, I have managed to find a deal on the Queens suite Q5 grade on the Queen Mary 2. 
 

I was wondering if anyone has experience of this rooms? 
 

Also any recommendations, dos and donts for a Queens Grill grade would be very welcome! I have only ever done inside, oceanview, balcony and club balcony! 
 

I have my fingers crossed this one won’t be cancelled but we shall see 😂

I hope not due to having a cruise booked on QV in November. Having said that I do not think the summer staycation cruises would be popular sailing around the UK during the winter period and do not think there would be much demand.

Of course you don’t want the cruise being cancelled, fingers crossed it won’t be! 
 

I want to book a 5 night cruise in December on QM2 but I fear it will not be going ahead. 
 

I really don’t care if the cruise goes no where, I just want to be back on them! 

Now there are hardly any countries left of the green list for the UK and cases are rising, do you think Cunard will cancel the UK sailings and perhaps cruises going later on this year? 
 

I wish I could book one of the UK sailings but am still waiting to get by vaccine :( 

Do we think Cunard will extend the summer staycation cruises this winter and cancel all other cruises? 
 

Obviously a lot of time between now and October but I am unable to see them having there cruises if the traffic light system on where we can travel continues
