Lindypops Posted April 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Please can anyone tell me is it possible to access the rear deck areas from deck 5 and 6 or do you have to go upstairs to another deck? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Jane Posted April 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2016 We had a room on deck 6 not far from the back. There is a door going out to the pool area. Can't help you about deck 5. The decks on QM2 aren't very exciting. Nothing like the usual busy activity of other ships. Its not possible to just take your plate out of the buffet area, and sit in the fresh air to have lunch. There is a boardwalk very small very little on offer. A few tables and chairs might be ok in good weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed to hear that about the buffet.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennbank Posted April 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Nothing stopping you from taking food outside but you would have to sit on the Wooden boxes or deck chairs. Or walk up the stairs at the stern by the grills to the smoking area where tables are located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rakkor Posted April 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Don't they use that area for the kids club during the day ? I seem to remember someeone saying they were "moved on" when we were on the QM2 last December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted April 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2016 We have frequently taken lunch out and eaten it on the Promenade deck while sitting in a steamer chair. And we have often eaten lunch outside the Boardwalk Cafe at one of the many tables and chairs, though obviously that is only open in fine weather.

I make sure I return plates etc inside when I've finished. You should try it next time :) Best wishes, Edited April 13, 2016 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there is somewhere with sunbeds we are sailing from Dubai to Southampton next week and expect lots of good weather. We dont want to sit inside during the day not bothered about pool side entertainment we just want some sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great time on board :) Edited April 13, 2016 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted April 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Don't they use that area for the kids club during the day ? I seem to remember someeone saying they were "moved on" when we were on the QM2 last December That's correct. Certainly the access from the corridor on the port side of deck six leads directly on to the secure kids pool area. Once outside you can exit this area up the stairs through the secure gate to get up to deck 7, but that might be more awkward if there are children in the area. We didn't see any at any time so it was o.k. I think the exit on the starboard side might not be into the kids area, but someone else would have to confirm that as I'm not certain.

Lindypops Posted April 14, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Pepprrn Thanks for the links to the photos they are great. I have enjoyed looking at them all.

Where do you get the pool towels from we are travelling steerage �� LindaHi Lindypops, The pool towels are rolled up and then stacked near each pool on board (and also often rolled up on the loungers, at least early on in the day), never been a shortage that I've noted. There are large wooden boxes for used/damp ones close by. The green pool towels can be seen stacked up on the right in this photo (and also on the loungers): I particularly enjoy the Pavilion Pool on Deck 12 (which has a sliding glass roof, lovely and warm when closed on windy days) and the Terrace Pool on Deck 8. Both have bars nearby. Pleased you enjoyed the photos. Have a great time on board :) Edited April 14, 2016 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
