I am on the 1 - 11 July QE voyage and have an Ice White theme on 2 July and Masquerade on 9 July. The other evenings are smart attire.  

Thank you everyone. I see the dress code has now been released and thankfully there is an ice white night! 
 

Thanks again 

Hi all, 

Happy New Year! 
 

I am awaiting release of the dress code for my Alaska 2024 voyage on the QE but no update on My Cunard as of yet. I am surprised as I thought it would have been announced by now. As I expect it to follow the general pattern of the 2023 Alaska season dress code, I have already bought attire for an Ice White gala night, so I hope this theme does actually happen! 
 

Can anyone who did the 2023 Alaska season let me know when the dress code was announced for those voyages, please? 
 

It seems like dress codes would be one of the easier planning decisions Cunard has to make, but the emptiness of dress codes for QE voyages from March 2024 onwards on the 2024 dress code thread makes we wonder if it is as not as simple as I am assuming!
 

Thanks in advance :)

Hi everyone, 

I am considering the QE Alaskan voyage over Independence Day next year. Are there any special celebrations on board for July 4 when in Alaska? I am aware that they do for the Boston voyage on QM2 but haven’t heard anything about QE in Alaska. 
 

Thanks in advance.

Thank you both for your help, that’s great! 

Hi all, 

I was hoping you could help with a couple of questions about shareholder onboard credit, please? 
 

Is the shareholder onboard credit given if you already have onboard credit (e.g. due to a deal online when the cruise was booked or bonuses for booking your next cruise whilst onboard)? 
 

Also, Cunard is listed as a ‘United Kingdom brand’ which suggests that the OBC is given in GBP (i.e. £30, £60, £150). However as Cunard uses USD on board, is anyone able to confirm whether the shareholder OBC is the GBP amount in USD (e.g. equivalent of £30 in USD) or the USD given as shareholder OBC for the North American companies (e.g. $50)? 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I'll just add my bit here as a 6'6'' fella as well. Getting around isn't an issue as the ceilings are high enough all over the ship. My main issue is with the showers, the ceilings there are high enough, but with the shower head, at best you have to duck down to get your head wet (Britannia) or it is easier just to have a bath (good size in PG) as the shower there comes in at mid chest height, can't comment on QG. I've never used the showers in the gym, and wouldn't consider them as an alternative to the Britannia ones, the faff of getting up to deck 9 far out weighs the inconvenience of ducking sightly to rinse your hair twice a day. Beds are excellent though and plenty long enough. I don't have any problems with leg room either, in any venue. My biggest/only real annoyance is with the placement of the treadmills in the gym on QE and QV (QM2 is fine) the ceiling there is too low to jog for most of them and for a couple where there's a step in the ceiling, they are placed so that if you get pitched forward by the ships motion, you end up bashing your head on the edge of the step in the ceiling, not an problem though if you aren't interested in that.

Thank you for getting back to me with this information - very helpful. It sounds like he will be okay and with no diagonal sleeping required! 🙂 

Thanks for your replies. That’s good to hear!

Hi all, 

I am due to sail on the QE in a couple of months with my partner who is 6’6” (199cm). Do you think the cabin will be high enough so he can stand up straight? 
 

I understand that the shower in the cabin will be too small but he’s okay with that. Does anyone know if the showers in the gym are taller?
 

We are in a balcony cabin if this makes any difference. 
 

Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated!
