On the maiden voyage I was exploring the new ship. For some reason the Officers Mess didn't yet have a door and I just wandered in. It took a while to work out what this was. It had a door on our next cruise and I've never seen it open since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of drink pictures from a few days ago that haven't been solved, I'll give this one a go. Could this possibly be a "Molecular Mojito Martini"? I've found a couple pictures of that drink which look somewhat similar and here is the description of that drink in an online Commodore Club menu. "The Classic with a New Age Twist, mixed with Bacardi Superior and Fresh Lime served straight up and garnished with a Crème de Menthe infused foam." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, where is it? My guess would be deck two or three next to the galley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak to the table lamps since I've never been in the grills, but they are different from what I see in photos of this location from other years. The location is indeed the QM2 Grand Lobby. That photo is from 2015 so we are seeing the pre-remastering carpet there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen them in the Grand Lobby either. They look silver. The Queens' Grill had the same but in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on Deck 12 but in the corridor leading to the viewing area so it was ok to take the picture there (I hope). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through the same exercise comparing floor patterns to make sure I was providing enough information to determine which ship this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
