DebbieMacG Posted June 9, 2017 #126 Share Posted June 9, 2017 There may be some new pillows etc but refit was onLy done on the aft grills cabins on 6,7,8 and brittania club. I am pretty sure i read somewhere that there had been little done to other grills cabins by someone on the current cruise All cabins have had refurbishment. Bedding, beds, soft furnishings, carpets, flat screen tv's there are images and details for all cabin classes on Cunards website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have had some furnishings changed, but the ones I mentioned have had a full refit and remodel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare roscoe39 Posted June 9, 2017 #129 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I found a 22 minute video just released on UTUBE last night and have put it up on my blog where I will put pics of the refit as I find them... http://butarewethereyet.blogspot.co.nz/2017/06/the-empresss-new-clothes.html Unfortunately the only room he doesn't tour is the Wintergarden ... regards Roscoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oahucruiser Posted June 9, 2017 #131 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Outstanding, Roscoe. Thanks for posting it. I will still miss the old Café Carinthia where we had such good talks, coffee and card games at 9.00 each morning. It was so cozy and atmospheric!

CheapIrish Posted June 10, 2017 #133 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Small issue, but one I noted to be true of several fellow cruisers I talked with last week: TV volume is set ridiculously low. We had ours set up to about 50 - 60 to hear, and we don't have a hearing problem. And when you turn it off it defaults to a lower volume, so you end up having to hold the volume button down for about 10 seconds each time.

Rare roscoe39 Posted June 14, 2017 #135 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I've found a series of really good and well-detailed videos that show the newly refitted rooms if anyone is interested, they include the Wintergarden, britannia staterooms, Grills and lido areas amongst others. http://butarewethereyet.blogspot.co.nz/2017/06/the-empresss-new-clothes.html Knock yourselves out - I know I did.

Oahucruiser Posted June 14, 2017 #137 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Great videos, Roscoe. I always like Chris Frame and his detailed tours of ships. I heard the music in the Winter Garden right away. Not really appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will all just have to put our money in our pockets and go and see for ourselves. The lido deck looks appealing though , I rarely use it because it has no shade but now looks as though there is plenty to spare and those new big round hooded chairs look brilliant.....

Tillylovesseabourn Posted June 14, 2017 #141 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Roscoe, it certainly only shows britannia club fully refitted, other britannias have some new bedcovers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted June 14, 2017 #142 Share Posted June 14, 2017 This is what the Cunard website says - "All Britannia staterooms on board Queen Victoria have been refurbished. Each features newly designed carpets and soft furnishings, new flat screen HD televisions and, by popular request, tea and coffee making facilities. All Queens Grill and Princess Grill suites have also received interior enhancements during Queen Victoria’s refit to maximise space whilst ensuring unsurpassed levels of elegance and comfort."

I'm eager to see what the QG suite enhancements look like since I've got a Q4 booked for next September. I can't seem to find many photos of the QV Grills online either. Does anyone have any good galleries they could point me towards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, exactly, i think previously with people there has been some confusion for people between what has been fully refitted and the rooms with minor refurbs, as i stated.

Rare Victoria2 Posted June 14, 2017 #145 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Yes, exactly, i think previously with people there has been some confusion for people between what has been fully refitted and the rooms with minor refurbs, as i stated. I don't think there's been much confusion, although you did say at one point the aft Q5s are all being refitted to Q4 penthouses when of course, you meant just the deck eight 5's. I posted on a separate thread our Butler in May had said the soft furnishings were being replaced in non actual refit cabins and I think that became common knowledge over the refit time. I gather from your name you are a Seabourn cruiser. Never having cruised with Seabourn, I will be very interested in your opinion after your Queen Victoria QG cruise, in how the two products compare etc. Edited June 14, 2017 by Victoria2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillylovesseabourn Posted June 14, 2017 #146 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Victoria2, I am trying one of the new Q1 cabins this time,so i too am interested to see how my experience compares this year with SB. Will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glanders Posted June 16, 2017 #147 Share Posted June 16, 2017 We are in 5191 in August. We'll be joining in Barcelona next week in this suite and will likely take a good number of pictures. There has been some good coverage already, so perhaps we might post some things we haven't noticed yet. I figure with at least new carpet, mattress, bed linens, and perhaps drapes, the suite might achieve a level of that "new ship smell." Shame about baths not being touched.

PAMJP Posted June 16, 2017 #148 Share Posted June 16, 2017 We're actually the residents of suite 5191 leaving from Southampton on 22nd June and disembarking in Barcelona, so we'll keep it nice for you! We spend 3 days in Barcelona before flying back to Heathrow. Really looking forward to the break on QV and spending time in Barcelona, having only visited before on a cruise.
