Lastest on QM2 refit

Frankly, I'm a lot more worried by the fact that they appear to have turned the cabins on their sides! :eek::eek:

It enables them to fit more in, no more balcony doors just sash windows, it is their contribution to going green.

This comes as something of a relief: I thought my world had turned sideways.

The sea must have been rough when that photo was taken...either that, or it's the new Fred Astair Stateroom (good for dancing on the ceiling).:D

 

But regarding that carpeting...I wonder how passengers who suffer from occasional sea sickness will fell after looking at all those w a v e y lines in the rug for any period of time :eek:

Couple of good, high volume, psychedelic yodels on the carpet and they'll never notice the lines :D:D !

Ah yes, efficient use of space. I should have realised, in these economically straitened times, that it was something like that.

I simply cannot imagine what went wrong here.....

 

MAYBE if the couch, bedspread and drapes were replaced this could somehow come together - but this is definitely an interior design 911

Your world went down the tubes some time ago didn't it?

 

J

[Norfolk Brit]

Never mind the carpet. Now that you've turned the photograph the right way round, there's something looking horribly like an orange cat sitting in the wastebin:eek:.

Well, things did go a little awry for a while. Still, luckily for you lot, I've got a reasonable broadband connection down here.

The staterooms now look like "Sleazy Motel Rooms" from the 1970's

That carpet is what I would call the opposite of Feng Shui. Hideous; much too busy for a small space.

 

Who do they employ for their interior design I wonder? On the other hand, perhaps the wiggly carpet is actually purposefully designed to get passengers out of their cabins and into the bars and shops.

Oops! There is, isn't there. What has Sir M been up to? I hope this isn't some kind of doomsday, mad scientist, cloning experiment scenario.

 

I quite like the carpet by the way - nice sort of nautical theme. Lots of little wavey type billowy things. Very maritime.

Sorry but the carpet hurts my eyes to look at - and if you stare at the pattern for too long it induces nausea. As a professional designer for over 20 years I can assure you this is "C -" work from a first year design student.

Perhaps that's why Jimmy and I quite like them:o.

Maybe someone just got a great deal on surplus carpeting that none else wanted?

[SavvyCruiserNJ]

Are the linens, drapes and furniture coverings changing? Thats the only conceivable way I can imagine rescuing this design debacle. Though I suspect if they are changing they too will all be covered in wavy hypnotic lines.

Bedspreads and drapes are being changed this week, sure hope they match

[missfrankiecat]

The drapes in the photo were new as well as the carpet. There are new bedspreads which I saw going into other cabins but they do not bear any discernable relationship to the carpets. I regret to tell you the photo'ed cabin was mine and I have no clue as to what the orange cat in the wastebasket was!!

I-spy something which looks like a travel kettle. :)

[ednria]

No one has addressed the really important item in this thread, namely, where can I get that BOSS tux?? I mean you accesorize with a black shirt, pink vest and bow tie, and you are ready for the nines!

GASP! This is the final look! Change it back! Make it stop!

Yes ! naughty.......Don't get me started on travel kettles :mad: ;)

[Leucothea]

Well, one can always close the drapes and lower the lights.

 

Or bring some yoga mats and Buddhist meditation music to calm the nerves.

It is a kettle, wonderful, well some lines have them, maybe Cunard will too
