I have earmarked Russka as one of my books to take on the Christmas Caribbean Cruise. I read it many years ago and just could not put it down.I certainly will see if I can get China as well.I will still make a visit to the Library as I love to have a browse.

About the luggage not the alcohol!,,

Will the very strong men help me with my trolley of alcohol? Thankyou for helping with one of my many queries on my list .

Joking apart I want to know about Brooklyn embarkation.I always thought the luggage was taken off you and the next time you saw it was in your stateroom. We have previously flown into JFK ,and put the little tickets on the luggage.We are arriving the day before so a different approach.

Mmm think we are on the same wavelength!,

I thought your luggage was delivered to your stateroom.I don’t think I want to be dragging anything anywhere 😕

After a really rough week I needed something to laugh about.Thankyou! Really having a good chuckle. Are you sure it’s not a wind up by the crew?.

Hi Frank We also met some lovely American people on a previous cruise over dinner.At the end of the cruise we promised to meet up.We have just done that whilst they were in Southampton before they sailed home.We will be together to celebrate this Christmas and New Year in the Caribbean.Of course, on the QM2.

That is very sad news.

Have sent best wishes to family in Ohio and friends in New York.So glad over the years we have strengthened the friendship between our two countries.

Why not have a few hours for the the arm flingers, and the same for the slow turners.I think I know who would have the most fun.That’s what’s cruising is all about isn’t it? I am throughly enjoying all the comments

Cruise mapper is saying 16.30.Sure the person who is unwell, has been well taken care of by the medical team on board

Thankyou John.So glad you have the answer.We have friends on board so am anxious.Didnot want to text them ,but will now.

Sorry ,think I should have known that as a Southerner. Hubbie says 100 lines.

Am I seeing things, or is QM2 heading for Halifax.? Know she had a medical emergency off the Isle of White.Perhaps this is another one ?

Driving down to Southampton this morning. No ,we are not going on a cruise 😂 We are meeting up with some lovely friends we met on the Christmas Caribbean Cruise 2021.We are going to spend a couple of days exploring the area, before they sail on the QM2 back home.We will meet up again at Christmas.Lovely!,,

Thankyou both so much.As Hilton Honors we have gone for the Hilton.Will not have much time in New York, but at least we don’t have the worry about delays.

Having read the question from MylesS last week,it has got us thinking about our cruise.We we’re booked to fly on 22nd December to join QM2 to the Caribbean.Because there are always the risks of strikes etc.This morning we have rebooked for the day before.We will arrive JFK at 16.10. My question is we would prefer to stay in Brooklyn , so it’s only a short taxi ride to the terminal on the 22nd. I’m sure we can rely on our fellow cruisers to help.Also what sort of time would we be able to board.We are Happy Rowers. Regards Lyn and Robbie

Queen Mary 2 is iconic.She represents all the best that is British.She symbalises all that is luxury,and a gone by era. Yes she does need to be updated on a regular bases ,but don’t spoil her.

I am standing at my lounge window watching the QM2 sail by on her way home from the Norwegian Fiords.No need for binoculars as she is so well lit up. And she looks …..Beautiful. Counting the days . Best Wishes to everyone.

Good Morning Winchester We had a Captains drink package on our last trip on QM2.It consists of a booklet of how many bottles you wish to purchase. There is a wonderful choice, and the Sommelier will be on hand to recommend .We take a ticket out of the booklet in exchange for a bottle.They did run out of a very palatable New Zealand and had to replace it with a Sanscerre from the Commadore collection .No complaints !! Enjoy, and hope this has helped.

We enjoy the food/menus so much we never have any wine left over.Also what’s better than finishing the last drop with some good conversation with your table companions.The water package isn’t very expensive.Better than queuing.Much more to do with your time .

So sorry to hear that the rest of the world cruise has been cancelled.Hope whatever is not good can be put right as soon as possible.

So sad to hear that the rest of her world cruise is cancelled.Just hope what ever is not good can be put right.

We were talking this morning about when we were on the Caribbean cruise Christmas 2021.Queen Victoria was going pass us every day. No body was waving……
