John Bull, Bob++ and everyone else.

Thank-you for your help. Greenwich it is, and I think we

Will go by river. I have done a lot of reading, and have suggested things to my husband. And it seems that the only thing he wants to see is the changing of the guard.

Which he did about 40 years ago.

But with your suggestions I know that we will have a fantastic time.

Thanks for all the help.

Pat.

I love your clothing, and how you compliment each other.

Hello I’m back. Thanks for the info. I should have mentioned that I will arrive on the 17th and am staying a half block from the Vand A museum.

I have been to London a few times and always done the same things. Now I feel like venturing out.

We always go to Portabello Rd. and will this time. But I was thinking about St Albans. On a Wednesday. Any thoughts about this? Also a visit to Kew gardens. And I will be going by bus.

I don’t understand the bus system and different zones.

(I have either walk, taken a taxi, or my daughters took care of things.)

Thank-you for the information.

My next post will be asking about horse racing.

Pat.

I have ALOT of questions.

I am in the US. This is my first QM2 TA eb Cruise.

We will be going in June.

I am planning on using National Express coach to get into London. I was going to order my tickets on line.

What time should I order them for?

We aer staying around the V and A museum.

Where do we get off the bus? The Victoria coach station?

With the maps I have been using it could be a few blocks or a few miles.

I can’t type for long because of surgery. So this is

To be continued.

Alf,

Welcome to the Cunard forum.

Although I have been on many cruises I have never been on Cunard. I find the people on this board so full of knowledge and they go out of their way to help you. You can ask questions that aren’t cruise related,and they do their best to give you options.

One suggestion, write down some questions and answers on a piece of paper. They are easier to find, but then I am older.

All the best,

Pat.

I was wondering if QM2 posts the dinner menu early in the day. If I would bring a bottle of wine to the dining room, I would know to bring red or white.

Would I bring it earlier in the day or at dinner time?

I would think dinner time might be a little hectic.

Thanks,

Pat.

Thank-you Johnken3

Pat.

I have never sailed with Cunard.

Did I read correctly that you have to pay to sit in the theater?

How does this work?

Pat.

If I mail something home, from the UK to the USA, will it be held in NY until I pay a customs charge?

Or am I living in the past?

Pat.

Can I use the OBC for the gratuities?

Thanks,

Pat.

Very informative Q&A. But what did Jane mean, that when packing always use a rail?

I have no idea what a rail is.

Pat.

Thank-you Bob,

I looked it up and it looks good.

Now I just have to convince my husband.

Take care

Pat.

I will be cruising TA in June 2018. Will still have a few 10 pound notes and 1 and 2 pound coins. Will I be able to use them? Do you have any idea when the new notes will be available in the US?

Thanks,

Pat.

Sorry Phabric, I tried to edit but I have a stupid phone.

Phabeic, I looked up just airports.

Do you know if the price is for the car or per person.

Thanks

Pat.

Thanks yorkshirephil,

But I offered him that years ago. He said no.

I'm undecided. Maybe around the V andA museum.

I've stayed in that area a few times.

I posted this on a different thread and was informed that maybe here would be better. Thanks Ray.

Can any gentlemen recommend a barbershop in London? One where they have hot towels.

He is VERY thin on top, and has a full beard.

Thanks,

Pat.

I forgot to mention that this is for my husband.

I don't like to type.

Hello everyone,

I am from the US. I will be traveling on the QM2 and then spending a week in London.

This question is for the gentlemen.

After years of me being pampered, I would like to pamper my husband.

Can anyone recommend a barber shop in London?

One that offers hot towels, a good shave. He doesn't have much on top, but he does on the sides and back.

Something that gives the extras.

Thanks in advance,

Take care,

Pat.

Ssshhh.....I pulled out my stash. The date is on the lower rim of the lid. Around the word Tiptree.

Even the honey, and honey does not go bad.

Black currant, I'll be asking for that.

Pat.

Teddy,

Are you saying that I should OR that I should not tip the room service breakfast server every day.

Thank-you everyone. I can live with Tiptree.

But no lemon curd? There is clotted cream isn't there.

Pat.

can anyone tell me the brand and types of jams and preserves that are served on board?

Thanks,

Pat.

Thank-you

How far is Kew Gardens from central London?
