You are on Mary and Elizabeth ahead? This is quite a sneaky one because my thinking was immediately Liverpool, crane colours fit, two Cunard ships together would fit for 2015, but then I realised you are on the reconfigured upper part of Mary. So with the headland on the port side ruling out Liverpool or other candidate Lisbon I will say Halifax NS.

Messina.

If you are on a tight schedule it is worth noting there are ticket, security and border checks to complete at St. Pancras before boarding Eurostar, the gates close in advance of departure so you can’t arrive a few minutes before 09:24 and get on.

The rear port side portion of Kings Court is reserved for these dining options. Tables are set with linen tablecloths, place settings and waiter and sommelier service is included. It is not self service. The thoroughfare from D stairway is closed so there is no through traffic making the experience very pleasant. There is usually a published rota which lets you know in advance which night is the Mediterranean theme etc., I believe the restaurants operate every night of the voyage.

Normal occurrence. If it is sold out it disappears from the list of available cruises. You need to change the filter to include sold out cruises.

This is the Queen Mary 2 breakfast card for Queens Grill from July 2022. Hopefully this provides a guide.

Guessing it has a Cunard connection. Is it the remnants of the Cunard White Star pier?

Have they continued the practice of providing a welcome aboard note from the captain and a complimentary glass of wine at dinner in lieu of the welcome aboard party?

Yes, I’ve attached the list from July 2022 with prices applicable at the time. These could be arranged with the tour office on Queen Mary 2.

Hadn’t thought of it this way, but I’ll drink to that! 😀

Per person rate was $90 in July 2022.

Although I was content with the original date, perhaps the push back to May is advantageous in respect of longer daylight hours and realistic opportunities to sample the outdoor facilities and spaces. 🙂

Well I was quite flattered in a way when Daily Mail used one of my photos of the Queens Room on Queen Mary 2 to illustrate their story. They had the correct cruise line and ship just a pity it was negative story about the ship breaking down

I fell for the hype and took up Cunard’s maiden booking offer. Now I see the ship taking shape I’m pleased I did. 🙂

You can’t go from the Chef’s Gallery to the D stairway though without going outside or cutting through the port side of Kings Court which hosts the speciality restaurant in the evening. The way through the rear of the Kings Court is barred while the speciality restaurant is operating. Perhaps I’ve misunderstood the question though.
