As someone who took the leap, I'd advise you NOT upgrade to PG or QG. You will NEVER, EVER, EVER go back.

Awesome photos! Did you hear my audible gasp at the promenade images? Spectacular!!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to post these.

Thank you! You just confirmed our plan to leisurely stroll through Korcula next month. Love reading your review!

Love your review, megacruiser. And, as an editor, I appreciate your thoughtful writing. Your photos are exquisite. Will follow your entire journey. Thank you for taking the time to write it for us.

We have dined often in QG, and almost always at a table for 2. As others have said, we have found that the surrounding tables join in on the conversations, and make for a wonderful and convivial discussion. I second the praise for the QG. It's hard to imagine dining anywhere else--it is simply superb!

Thank you. I'll plan for two then and not fret about it anymore!

We are taking the QE on November 28 for a one-week voyage. The Voyage Personalizer shows two formal nights, which seems to make sense (the two sea days). The final documents show one formal night. I called Cunard, and they "guessed" that what's in the final documents is correct. I would like to be more sure than that, as we are taking 3 other people, and it is their first cruise. Any ideas how I can verify this? Thanks very much.

Thanks, Olliesmum!

My husband and I will be taking our niece (age 35), our nephew (age 30), and our great niece (age 17) on a one-week Mediterranean cruise at the end of November. While my husband and I have traveled many times on all three ships, this will be the first cruise for the young ones. My question is: Are there activities for young adults on the QE? We stopped at the kids zone several times on our last cruise in July hoping to talk to someone, but each time the area was closed. I don't recall seeing anything specifically for young adults in the Daily Programme. I know that there are excursions that are adventurous that they would love to take, and I'm sure that they will want to spend every waking moment with us (LOL), but I'd like to be prepared with any options for them that may be available. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you!

Does anyone know how many laps around the promenade deck equal 1 mile? And can one confirm that one can walk completely around the deck? Last time I was on the QV, and this was not possible. Thanks!

I've sailed in a Q4 on the QV and there is a drape separating the sleeping area from the living area. Is there such a "privacy" drape in the QE's Q4s? Is there 1 television or are there 2? Also, is there a sink in the bar area as on the QV? Thank you!
