Rare david,Mississauga Posted January 15, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2020 We are booked on the 14-day eastbound crossing on 31 July. This includes calls in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Iceland and two Scottish ports prior to Southampton. I am very familiar with the immigration procedure on the usual seven-night crossings on which the inspection is done en route – and has been for decades. There was a similar 14-day crossing last year on the Queen Elizabeth. If there is anyone who was on that or a similar voyage I would appreciate hearing of your experience. Please don’t suggest I ask Cunard. As “Basil Fawlty” said about his wife Sybil: “You may as well ask the cat.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted January 15, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I would expect there will be board checks on board. Maybe they will board in Iceland. I did a crossing on QV a few years ago leaving from Fort Lauderdale via Bermuda and Ireland and there were boarder guards on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
