brigittetom Posted August 5, 2014 #151 Share Posted August 5, 2014 In future I'll be careful not to book any voyage where two-day or three-day short runs are tacked on. Especially out of Hamburg! What a nice friendly read. :) I plan on using the Hamburg segment to my advantage. I love Hamburg, so rather than stay on for the short tack ons, I'd rather spend 4 days in Hamburg....and re board for the sail back to NY with Southampton being a wonderful port day. For me, it's the perfect trip. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunardaddict Posted August 5, 2014 #152 Share Posted August 5, 2014 What, she never goes to sea? :D ;) :) Oh sure, but with 2,000 Germans to look after her:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Voyager Posted August 5, 2014 #153 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I note that Hapag-LLoyd have 2 and 4 day cruises out of Hamburg on both the MS Europa, and the MS Europa 2. Presumably, they will be very genteel, refined 'Booze Cruises'. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Hamburg,Hi brigittetom, A great city, the people are VERY friendly, welcoming and helpful. Every visit is better than the last. It is made so special by the canals, rivers and lakes. ... so rather than stay on for the short tack ons, I'd rather spend 4 days in Hamburg....and re board for the sail back to NY with Southampton being a wonderful port day.

On my next QM2 visit to Hamburg I intend to do exactly as you suggest above, and stay in the city for a few days, and to see the surrounding area, while QM2 is in Norway. Best wishes, :) Edited August 5, 2014 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruachan Posted August 5, 2014 #156 Share Posted August 5, 2014 My, you people are such experts! No matter where the three Queens were built or are flagged or owned, they are not Lithuanian or French, etc., they are English in tone. Look at the damn art. Deal with it. Stop being "too cute." And stop hollaring about the Germans. Nobody is being cute. You need to learn that English and British are not synonymous. Before QM2 was flagged out to Bermuda she was a British ship - never an English one, no matter what the "tone"! Go figure J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it certanly lacks irish and welsh marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do serve quite a lot of lamb, and Guinness might be enough for the Irish! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called Kings Court now:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunardaddict Posted August 11, 2014 #162 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Addict, would you kindly put some statistics from reputable sources to back up these claims. As a retired police officer, who never fired his service weapon except on the shooting range, I find such statements to be a bit silly. There are, of course, people and societies that are unreasonable fearful of things they do not understand, like guns, nuclear power and terciary recovery methods for oil production. Yesterday, Ferguson Missouri. I have no words for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that you are trying to prove a point, but: 1. It's getting annoying and silly 2. You are beating the same simple clichees that you complained in the Hamburg short cruise thread about. 3. You don't have to reply to each single post Best from someone who lives in Hamburg - does not share all the prejudices about the "ugly" germans but also not those about the "gun-crazy" yanks! Please relax yourself and let it go. You are totally on the wrong track here Edited August 11, 2014 by Yoshikitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
