I was also on this crossing. It was a rough one with force 9 winds. I have done a TA four times and this was the roughest one I have done, lots of rocking and closed outside decks.

So I just did a quick search about it and this is what I found:

Darn! I have an iphone 5. Can't use this feature.

And, a TA is so wonderfully relaxing!!!

Thanks, dbventure. A TA is a transatlantic crossing, meaning there isn't a port to go ashore and use your phone. How do you access transcripts of voicemails?

Will I be able to very briefly turn on my iphone to check for voice messages while on a TA? I realize that there will be charges for this. I just want to know if it can be done. Any tips will be welcome.

Just received my sailing documentation and I see there are two formal nights. What do you wear for a Roaring 20s formal?

Lanky Lad and Salacia, I guess I am not thinking of a change in cabins as an upgrade, but in terms of comfort. Since this is an October crossing, the weather could be rough. Being the 7th cabin from the front on deck 11 may be more rocky than being squarely midship. Thoughts?

Please help me make a decision.

I have the following two cabins reserved on the QM2. Cabin 11101, a BB balcony midship for $1,449 and 11014, a BF balcony forward for $1,199.

Although the difference is only $250 per person, I think the BB cabin is deeply discounted. Is the upgrade from BF to BB worth the extra $500?

We have both sailed many times and are ok with ship movement.

Thanks!

PNWSon, I really like a balcony. It is part of journey for me but I didn't want to wander the cities solo, so I will need to pay for excursions. But, now, I can do both!

Twin A, yeah, best to be with hubby over Christmas. He must be a good sport!

I just booked the Queen Victoria for New Year's Eve. Decided that I wasn't going to be at the mercy of other people and whether or not they will include me in their plans. So, I took matters into my own hands and was awarded for this decision. I booked the cheapest cabin and was upgraded the next day to a balcony!

Anyone recall how cool the main dining room is at night on QM2? Just trying to decide if it's worth taking up packing room with a heavier wrap.

Deck 12 Pool is deep enough for swimming, 5' I think.

I am actually not interested in swimming. I need to walk laps for my hip. Being 5'3", I don't want the pool too deep. Chest height is perfect. With it being January, my two choices will be the spa or deck 12.It sounds like the depth of deck 12 is a bit better for me. And, it would be great to watch the ocean while doing this.

Thanks! I meant deck 12!

I think I will be limited to spa and deck 13 since TA in January will be cold, heated pool or not!

Does anyone know the depth of the pool on deck 13 of QM2? I have hip exercises and walking laps that I would like to do on our Jan 3 TA to keep my hip limber.

I used them twice for my son on RCCL. It worked out great both times. However, the other posters have a point...if you cruise often...even once a year...I'd go to Men's Wearhouse (or similar place) where you can get a tux for the price of renting one to two times!! Yes, you have to carry it on board in a suitbag, but it's yours. And...once you have a tux...you'll find over the years that you have many other occasions to wear one! I didn't buy for my son because he's still growing! :)
