champions gate Posted October 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hello everyone, I have just logged on to this forum and am gradually finding my way round. My Husband and I are sailing on the QMII from Southampton to NY on Oct 23rd. This is our first experience of Cunard and are really looking forward to it. Tux and Frock are ready to sail and are counting the days . Are any of you on that cruise ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomica Posted October 6, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2009 If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, on the right hand side is a pull-down menu that says Forum Jump. If you go to the 'Roll Call' section, and choose Cunard Roll Calls, you'll be able to find a 'Roll Call' for your voyage. Enjoy the QM2 & Welcome to Cruise Critic!

hansol1966 Posted October 6, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2009 We will be on the Oct 23rd Transatlantic as well, our 4th on QM2 and the excitement only grows the more. Please refer to the O.B.C. post just below as by following this thread you can obtain dollar credit at an advantageous rate i phoned Cunard yesterday (all in the thread) and bought onboard credit at $1.886. Have a great time Champions gate you will have plenty (or not) to do. Any help with the onboard credit or any questions please post again. Fred & Sian.

garigoun Posted October 6, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Don't think so! She is for sale in London. Did you mean QM2? ;) I wondered how long it would be before someone found it irresistable. Although to be fair this one is a change from the, 'Roman for ship Latin for Monarch' patronising drivel. Gari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansol1966 Posted October 6, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Shes being sold for £155,000 and is moored on the Victoria embankment, opposite the South Bank currently a bar/restaurant..my son has dj-ed (? i know) there a few times . Fantastic location, just a short stroll to anywhere, west end..london eye..westminster etc. Dont worry Champions gate id rather be on ours crossing the pond.

Cruachan Posted October 6, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Don't think so! She is for sale in London. Did you mean QM2? ;) First ship I ever sailed on - all the way from Glesca to the Kyles of Bute an back. Don't seem to be able to find her for one of those signature thingies though.

champions gate Posted October 6, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for the links, it looks like there are quite a few CC's on this sailing. Our cabin is a B3 allocated on arrival at check-in. It says 'possible steel hull'.. what does that mean and will we be able to buy OBC without a cabin number ?

It says 'possible steel hull'.. what does that mean and will we be able to buy OBC without a cabin number ? B3 cabins have sheltered balconies in the hull, rather than a glass-fronted balcony. We had one last time and thought it was great. You will only need your Cunard number to buy the OBC, not a cabin number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansol1966 Posted October 6, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Our preference on an transatlantic crossing, close to the sea ,sheltered from the winds, larger than the glass balconies and very private. O.B.C. Just quote your Cunard reference number (a mixture of numbers and letters) when you phone. The only funny thing when i phoned was they would nt tell me the exact exchange rate...i.e. dollar to the pound but said so many dollars cost so many pounds...but still a great rate. Fred & Sian.

DKNYC Posted October 7, 2009 #14 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi Champions Gate Hope to meet you on board. I have an in hull balcony as well. Never had one before, but they seem perfect for a crossing IMHO. I usually have the lifeboat obstructed balcony. Now that those have been upgraded I'll probably be in hull more often. Hope you found the roll call. Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garigoun Posted October 7, 2009 #17 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It was a liner, OK?! J Nothing could be finer Than reclining in a recliner When you’re sailing on a liner On the Clyde. But before you start gloating It is very well worth noting That you’re really only boating On the Clyde. Gari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruachan Posted October 7, 2009 #18 Share Posted October 7, 2009 But before you start gloating It is very well worth noting That you’re really only boating On the Clyde. As yer sailin’ “doon the watter” Does it really really matter If yer vessel is a liner or a boat Jist enjoy ra Glesca Fair As yer lettin’ doon yer hair An’ hope the auld rust bucket stays afloat Aye, it’s maybe no Cunard But it shouldnae be ower hard Tae huv herself a ball upon the Clyde Where bein’ formal dressed Means a brand new, clean, string vest An’ a tasteful Nike shell suit fur yer bride So tak a swig o’ Lanny An’ huv yersel a sanny Wi’ a great big lump o’ tasty auld square-slice An’ as ye eat yer piece Fu’ o’ a’ that lovely grease At least ye’ll no be worried by the price You’ll no need a Maitre d’ Tae serve ye wi’ yer tea Or a cabin steward tae tend yer every need Ye’ll sail through the Kyles o’ Bute Then back up the Clyde ye’ll scoot An’ by tea time ye’ll be in the Sarry Heid A rhyming J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
