Thanks, everyone, for your advice!

Hello, All! I'm trying to get my ducks in a row and have a couple questions I hope you can answer. We'll be heading from Germany to Southampton on 24 July, spending a few days there until we embark on the QM2 for its westbound journey to NY on 29 Jul. My husband and I are US citizens. I noticed on the mobile Cunard website that travel insurance is required ($2 million coverage) for UK residents and those who do not have proof of insurance will not be able to board, but I can't find it anywhere else. Does this pertain to US citizens as well? Also, does anyone know off the top of their head where COVID test locations are located in Southampton, and would we need to make a time reservation for them? We'll be staying at the Moxy, fwiw. I guess I'm a bit nervous about our journey. It'll be my third cruise (others were Caribbean cruises on Carnival with my gal pals) and my husband's first cruise and our 28th anniversary. I want everything to go well. 🙂 Many Thanks!

Hello, Everyone! First time poster, so please forgive me if I get anything wrong. My husband and I are scheduled to embark the QM2 on 29 July from Southampton to NY. We're heading back to the States from Germany (husband had a 3-year work contract). I absolutely dislike flying, so we decided that a transatlantic trip would be a great way to head home. Anyway ... I was wondering if anyone knows when the watercolor and WSET classes are. I'm signed up for the first level class but am also interested in watercolors. Does anyone have a schedule of when these might be? Do many classes/activities conflict? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I've been on two Carnival cruises with girlfriends in the past, and this is a whole new experience. This will be my husband's first cruise, our first cruise together, and it's over our 28th anniversary. I'd like to plan the best I can. Thanks in advance!
