I didn’t mind the light under the door or the moonlight from outside, but there are also several annoying electronic lights. The red on the TV, the slightly illuminated switch for the bathroom night light, the light on what I assume was the router and something else, perhaps the phone.
-
That’s true.
-
What I don’t understand is why the infected people told the Purser’s office they had it? Why not just keep quiet and save hassle?
-
So why weren’t you asked, for heaven’s sake?
-
On this one, the glass on QV looks very dark.
-
Sort of semi-see-through. Not as clear as QA.
-
A Question. There is a picture on the Liverpool Echo site of the passengers watching the arrival from the balconies. It is early and they are all in their bath robes, wisely as it turns out, for you can see through the balcony glass. My impression is that the glass on the Vista balconies is one way. Am I merely misremembering? This certainly isn’t.

But there seem to be no reports of any similar happening to Cunard passengers.
-
I suppose that depends on how you interpret with. Would you prefer on?

The McKay Bennett recovered several hundred bodies.

Isn’t that lovely?
-
Ah. That explains what I was wondering, because it seemed odd that this brouhaha erupted in the Central Lobby rather than a cabin or the Medical Centre. Also, I can see the benefit of moving someone who is being confined to a balcony cabin, that seems only fair, but surely if they are refusing to be confined, they should stay where they were. See: cake: having: eating.

Nasty for you. Hope it is terminated soon.
-
They would be even nicer if the wood were painted a lighter colour and if they didn’t have that silly partition, but they are still jolly nice.
-
The other thing is, given the number of Grills cabins, it doesn’t seem particularly large, though it was hard to tell in the gloom.
-
The joy of QG is the much larger cabins and extra light from the two sets of windows. Also ours had a nice long bath to read in. The banquettes, while silly, aren’t as bad as I had feared, providing one has an accommodating companion who is willing to share.
-
What a lovely half term treat for the children.
-
Or you could avoid it by not travelling in the Grills. 😀 Actually, I’m amazed nobody has said this to me. Much of the rest of the ship is very nice.
-
Leith perhaps?

Noise between Queens Grill Suites with Connecting Door - QM2
exlondoner replied to Jim_Iain's topic in Cunard Line
This is long ago and anecdotal, but once we had a table next to a couple whose Q5 adjoined that in which resided quite a small baby and its owners. They were certainly aware when the baby awoke and of its reluctance to sleep late at night. -
That’s all right. 😀 It just gave me the chance to think of more things I loathe about it. 😀😀😀 Incidentally, although I have no feelings either way about that (presumably fake) tree, isn’t it a bit of an odd thing to have in an indoor bar, particularly with those banquettes around it. They seem to have a banquette fetish.
-
Just out of interest, has anyone on this cruise had a survey???
-
I imagine that, given it was an RN base, it is possible that requisitioned Cunard ships may have called there in one of the world wars.
-
I didn’t linger there, but must say it didn’t look terribly comfortable to me, but I can see it was friendly. I waved at people I recognised as I passed through hastily and they usually waved back, although, in truth, they may have been completely different people as the light was so dim, and my eyesight so poor.

Do you really mean customs, or was it immigration?
