Winchester Ranger Posted May 10, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Having done several northern route T/A's in November I am aware that the breeze might be strong, but the Atlantic keeps its summer warmth through November - making that tine of year most likely to give you a warmer crossing than one in May or even June. If you are on the right side of the ship (port westbound, starboard eastbound) and there is any sun at all the balcony will be a valued asset. Priceless information, many thanks.

svwight Posted May 14, 2015 #27 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Priceless information, many thanks. This is all fascinating and very helpful. Just beginning to research whether to do crossing S/ton to NY then stay for a week or two and crossing back possibly on two different ships. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

It's very difficult to offer any suggestions but I wholeheartedly recommend that you do the two crossings. Timings might prove to be the hardest issues but QM2 does keep a fairly regular schedule of transatlantics so getting 2 weeks in the US is certainly feasible. If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Solent Richard Posted May 15, 2015 #29 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Having done many crossings in all levels of accommodation with two in Britannia Club. One of those occasions was as a solo traveller. I found the 'freedom' dining times that Britannia Club offer suited me down to the ground and offer so much more flexibility. Whatever you choose, have a great crossing on a magnificent ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently binge watching YouTube videos of the ship - honestly I wish I was onboard her right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted May 16, 2015 #31 Share Posted May 16, 2015 We love the crossings on the QMII and plan more for our future. But since you are crossing in the fall and are open to crossing in the westerly direction, think about crossing on a ship that is repositioning from the Med to the Caribbean. Specifically look into Azamara which has a lower single supplement than Cunard and has a crossing in November from Barcelona to Miami, which we have booked on. Of course, you would have to get from the UK to Barcelona, but not so hard with all the discounted air fares in Europe. And then you would have to get from Miami to where you are based in the States, so maybe this is impractical. Something to explore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannp Posted May 21, 2015 #32 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Winchester Ranger The Nov. 25th crossing will be the QM2's 250th crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
