Queen of the Queen Posted November 26, 2011 #26 Share Posted November 26, 2011 MDR is being refited right now Hi Guys We finally made it home last week and I have some pix I would like to share.

Ant@sea Posted November 26, 2011 #27 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Got a very quick disembarkation in Soton on Nov 24th after setting sail on the November 17th Eastbound crossing. The ship arrived in Southampton at 3:00am to facilitate loading of material for the refit. "Walk-off" passengers got off at 6:30--Those like me that bought transfers to Heathrow were off at 7:45 am as derricks loaded stores onto the upper deck and several hundred workmen boarded the ship.

Bell Boy Posted November 26, 2011 #37 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Seriously though, if there are no passengers on board, how did you get these photos? Through a crew member friend, I assume, unless you are crew yourself. Sorry to let the cat out of the bag :p but we get them hot off the press via our QM2 facebook friends :D :D :D Bell Boy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant@sea Posted November 26, 2011 #42 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Normally it would have been great to get cleared that soon, but with a 6:00pm flight that evening from Heathrow, the last thing I wanted was to get going so soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavvyCruiserNJ Posted November 26, 2011 #48 Share Posted November 26, 2011 [attach]213497[/attach] The carpeting is HIDEOUS! Please tell me there are some new drapes and bedding that "Somehow" bring this all together - this has to go in the "What were they thinking?!?!?" category.

Frankly, I'm a lot more worried by the fact that they appear to have turned the cabins on their sides! :eek::eek: J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
