Gold Coast Cruisers Posted February 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thought I would start my blog by heading the Senior Officers listed for the QM2. I will do my blog direct on here and my Facebook page. Counting down and getting excited. Finally got our cabin allocation today. https://ask.cunard.com/help/cunard/fleet/senior_officers Jill:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted February 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I can't wait for you to start your blog. :) Your allocation came about 2 weeks prior to travel? Did you receive your exact guarantee and are you happy with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Coast Cruisers Posted February 8, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 8, 2014 We have a balcony port side Deck 5 sheltered which is great. :) Jill :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted February 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) We have a balcony port side Deck 5 sheltered which is great. :) Jill :) Nice. I see from the Captains link that there is a changeover in Sydney with C Wells boarding in Perth. Edited February 8, 2014 by Pushka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Roo-Zers Posted February 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi Jill, Looking forward to your blog. Loved the last one. Made us definitely want to try Cunard. We will be in the South Pacific on Sea Princess when you cruise, but will look forward to catching up, upon our return. Have a wonderful time, travel safe, and keep well. Best wishes Nicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted February 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Looking forward to following your blog. I'll be going on a luncheon river cruise on MV Lady Brisbane to see QMII in Brisbane. So if you see a little boat bobbing around near the QMII, please give us a wave! :) We'll all be wishing we were on the BIG ship with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted February 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Jill looking forward to following your blog. The Queens are on my must cruise on one of in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Coast Cruisers Posted February 10, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Nice. I see from the Captains link that there is a changeover in Sydney with C Wells boarding in Perth. We had Captain Christopher Wells last year on Queen Elizabeth. A really nice guy who was very informative everyday with his "this is the Captain speaking" midday broadcasts. Quite often on port days he was ashore near the gangway casually chatting to people as went to and fro the ship.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted February 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 10, 2014 She is arriving in Fremantle as I post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted February 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) That's weird. According to a few schedules I've seen the arrival date is the 12th. Even shipmate has it wrong.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted February 11, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The itineraries have her sailing from Perth on the 12th, so she must be overnighting there. Perhaps she needs an extra day to get ready for Australia.:D Port schedule has her leaving 12th 5pm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marconi Posted February 11, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Excellent. Looking forward to reading all about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nice capture. Wandered down and had a look and saw my travel agent and asked if he had any authority to get me on with a pass or something,unfortunately he and his boss were the only ones going on board together with other travel agents.He said he could get me on at a very good price, but I declined his offer as I have a big cruise next year.

Pushka Posted February 11, 2014 #18 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Whenever QM2 is in port there are always functions for media. Last time in a Melbourne the queue for the celebs to board was huge - Red Symonds was there - and us lucky passengers just walked straight past them to embark. That doesn't happen often to non celebs. Worth getting on and off again just to keep walking past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted February 11, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) *giggle* at vision of Pushka nonchalantly walking on and off the ship several times in front of the celebs. :D Edited February 11, 2014 by OzKiwiJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted February 11, 2014 #20 Share Posted February 11, 2014 *giggle* at vision of Pushka nonchalantly walking on and off the ship several times in front of the celebs. :D I really did! It was a hoot. Maybe a once off swanning opportunity - unless they do it again in Melbourne, and I'll do it again in Sydney, and also maybe even Brisbane! I'll take photos next time.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happycruiser3 Posted February 17, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 17, 2014 A perfect day in Melbourne today for the QM2, low to mid 20's and lots of sun. The smoke haze shrouding the city has disappeared after the terrible fires of the last week. Hope everyone has a great visit today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted February 17, 2014 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2014 On the Port of Melbourne Cruise Schedule she is due back again on the 12th March. Celebrity Solstice is also due that day and she will be docking at Station Pier, so QM2 will be at at Webb Dock . That should be interesting.

But others embarking on 12th have indicated that it's Station Pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
