  1. BA allows up to 32kg per case , gold executive club members, 3 cases at 32 kg in business.
  2. The answer is to restrict the number of booking someone can make across all the venues. No overlapping bookings and say no more than two venues per night. Should be easy to implement, simple IT.
  3. Agree completely Only question 1 is relevant in that there is a defined Cunard dress code in black and white. It's easy to understand Question 2 , cannot be answered as there is no definitive answer to what is socially accepted standard. Everyone will have their own definition. Some are stuck in the fifties, some think anything goes especially if it has the right label. Why are people making a simple question so difficult.
  4. 're @spaceoddity post "Brittania restaurant around point of least motion , in middle low down on decks 2 and 3 " They then went on to put Grills higher up on deck 7 (but no views) and to rear. Perhaps they thought grills guests more experienced sailors😂 Learnt lesson and put grills in Middle on newer ships
  5. Still only 2 out of 3 lifts on staircase D. Never any queues.
  6. Fantastic news. Fantastic value an absolute steal, if only we lived nearer, and hadn't just got off QM2 on Sunday. Safarigal should be able to book on board, or walk across road to carnival house
  7. Thank you Solent Richard where was is ,or is it a TA that can't be named
  8. Can't find to book coronation cruise anywhere,
  9. I hope Cunard have learnt the lesson from Covid. When even though it was clear to world and it's dog that something was drastically wrong when QM2 didn't leave Fremantle. Cunard kept on telling me its OK, it will arrive in Capetown , no need to book alternative arrangements. Glad I booked flights. So I'll believe QM2 is back in action when we see it leave with passengers on board.
  10. Smooth ride all due to hull shape and weight. Layout doesn't effect ride.
  11. This was a specialiality restaurant every night and no way through on deck 7 As I said we liked Carpenthia lounge, light and airy. Commodore to small and same pianist every night. Queens room awful.
  12. Solent Richard blog on one trip spends a day in civtavecchia itself.
  13. When you come out of either grills restaurants at night , you cannot walk through kings court as it is a speciality restaurant. Must either go up or down to go forward or walk outside.
  14. I would classify bathroom as adequate, shower is over bath but easy to get in and out. Bath is small, Short and narrow. I have 34 inch waist and found it a squeeze. I think better cabin , food and service is more read on for PG.
  15. As I got up for morning walk in Tenerife they were literally shoveling large black soot particles up on decks at back, filling multiple bin bags full of the stuff, even had to empty pools. However everything was fine for next three days. So hard to say what happened
  16. Feeling lucky to have made it back to Southampton, thoughts on my first QM2 and PG experience. QG was fully booked for Capetown to Southampton, all booked in first hour. Anyway were very pleasantly surprised by QM2 PG cabin, had just as much usable space as Q.V. or QE so called penthouses(Q3 or Q4) . -Clothes hanging space amazing, wife had walk in wardrobe to herself, I had 4 single wardrobes to myself. -PG service was excellent although some days even with a la carte found menu boring. So I agree that PG is the sweet spot in terms of service and value. QG is an indulgence, however if you can afford it then indulging yourself is always a good idea. We shall continue with QG, but perhaps if there were more real speciality restaurants would be very happy with PG. As for the QM2 it's one and only plus point is its ride , you just don't feel the waves. Apart from this I was disappointed. -The queens room was like the black hole of Calcutta , it had no atmosphere , never busy enough to be a grand ballroom. -The grills lounge and deck was to small. No view from the grills restaurants. -The grand atrium by Pursers desk was not useful for anything. -Commodore club too small. -The nicest lounge was Carpenthia, pity it was dress down. -At night you couldn't go forward from grills restaurants on deck 7 had to go outside. So I'm clearly in the camp that believe Q.V. and QE are better designed ships, Queen Anne also looks to have a more well thought out layout. So in am clearly not in the camp that you haven't experienced the best of Cunard if you haven't been on QM2. One thing staff on all 3 ships are equally great
  17. Only if they booked hotel and other elements at same time through Cunard or a travel company , then it becomes a package and Cunard/ travel company have responsibility for total package. If they booked just a cruise one way then all Cunard is legally responsible for is a full refund. Insurance responsibility for rest.
  18. This caught them by surprise as captain was expecting it to be fixed in 36hrs at Southampton. So sudden cancellation is nothing that can helped. But the response in terms of what seems to be complete lack of help is completely unacceptable.
  19. When captain announced 12pm boarding a lot of Americans said they would get train to London, so they will be in blissful ignorance
  20. 300 meters apart could see everyone waving, horns saluting each other
  21. Qm2 putting foot down , we are arriving in Southampton early at 9.30 pm Saturday, but it's not leaving till after midnight Sunday, early Monday morning Captain said for essential maintenance. Just overtaken Victoria
  22. All we can do is keep letting Saga know , that the library is a facility which guests think is as important as the other things they promise. Must be cheaper than daily crafting workshops and more widely used if there. Note I'm not saying get rid of crafting, but I think problem isn't just money. Anyway it's Saga's problem to solve
