Victoria2

I have read the Grills lounge on QV is boringly dull in atmosphere and 'buzz' of an evening after dinner. Suits us. Sometimes, a quiet drink to round off the day is just perfect. Staff who, as you say look after us [and who know how I like my L.I.I.T] is so important and so, as the oft used phrase goes...each to their own!🙂

They only had a peek for future reference as they could only book Britannia for this cruise, their conclusion being they preferred the PG set up which as they said, was handy as that would be what they would probably book.

A friend onboard told me Joy is the Concierge in the Grills. If it's QV's Joy, she really is, a joy. 🙂

I'm a law abiding passenger but am starting to see the logic of your post. I might have to join the roscoe39 gang!

I think the chairs on the Grills deck look really comfortable [[good heavens, a QA chair compliment from me!!] and nothing wrong with the loungers either. The pads will probably be easier to keep 'clean' than the really thick ones. Looks good to me so far.

I tho0ught the chairs on the grill deck looked very comfortable [one for here Def separated at birth!!!😄

That must go with the apparent lack of fish knives and forks comment when it seemed Norman wasn't available!😁

Thx We most def can't be called part of the younger set and as I don't like QM2 and we're not flying at the moment, we have no choice. My cup is always half full and it takes a lot to drain it to empty. Thank you for filling it up past half way.🙂

We can meet up to compare notes.

Two almost contrasting thoughts within the space of five minutes. I'll go with the positive and if tacticalbanjo is looking forward to their next booking, then that buoys me up for our first.

Sorry. With all the negative promenade deck comments around, I like to be positive...until I've been mown down/have mown down others not going the same speed if there's no way of avoidance. 🙂

There is. Deck three. Promenade is just a fancy, often/seaside'y way of saying walk way and the fact the other ships have wide/er ones doesn't take away the fact you can walk or jog around the ship. I shall be getting in my six to nine laps a day, hopefully, even if I have to be more picky on timing in order to avoid popular times for the strollers.

It won't suit the dancers and that's a real shame but selfishly, it's good news for us as we liked the occasional evening entertainment in QV's Queens room.

Thank goodness.😃

Only on Friday nights? What a slacker! 😅

Oh wow Fig Chutney. I nearly ate QV out of the stuff last May and it wasn't available in July. Munster, or failing that a vintage cheddar, rye 'bread and the chutney...who needs a pudding ! Yum yum.

Thank you. I know I'm extremely Cunard biased but I intend to report back and aim to give of my honest and objective opinion as I hope I have done in the past. Plus of course, some little personal thoughts too. 🙂 Edit Oops, didn't proof read before submitting!

Lovely of you. 😘 I agree. Don't pay the charges and choose something else.

As another loyal Cunard client, it will take an awful lot more than some up charges before we jump ship from Cunard. I am just hoping Queen Anne won't disappoint.

I must admit, I got that impression too.

Not seen one, but if the shower heads are anything like the 'new' Q1s on QV, The shower head isn't fixed, can be turned away or removed from shower head rail. If that's how the shower is set up, I can't see the problem. In fact, if it IS set up like that, it's great.

I have all the guest invoices for past, present and future cruises so can refer to them and I wouldn't use the word 'cheap', 'cos it's not. I would say 'less expensive'. I would also say The Maiden was expensive. To be expected I guess.

I'm hoping it will be The Princess Royal although the D o f E would be a grand choice too. Two wonderful royal ladies.

I'm sure there was a premium added to the Maiden but although invited to book the original dates [along with others], the cabin we would want wasn't one available and we didn't want the BoB in winter and so can't remember the price structure. What I would say, and have said before, when comparing like for like, The Canaries are cheaper than other 14 nighters we have taken /have booked.

Ha, spot on. We don't do bribes! It must have been my charming nature and winning smile wot did it! 😄 and did it thereafter until we went two top after Covid! edit Apart from twice, once on segments of a Worldie when the bubble housed two tops and once on an 'ordinary itinerary when again, two tops ruled!
