He was much worse when he had Covid last year. I’m so glad he is better, but even more glad my husband doesn’t demonstrate his fitness by brandishing a chaInsaw. 😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pity as I don't fancy sitting in the theatre for 45 minutes wearing a mask. I wasn't asking about a recorded version though. Some cruise lines relayed the live performances to the cabin TV, we could grab a drink from the bar and watch the show in the cabin without the need for a mask.

Some cruise lines relayed the live performances to the cabin TV, we could grab a drink from the bar and watch the show in the cabin without the need for a mask. Oh yes, the 'Production shows' continued as normal on the earlier post pandemic cruises , however, Masks in the Theatre were STRICTLY ENFORCED ......Crew members from the entertainment team were on hand walking around the theatre enforcing mask wearing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't look at the TV most nights on our recent QE cruise, but they were definitely showing some of the shows live in the evening, I'm sure I saw the comedian on after dinner and maybe one of the shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petulia Posted October 10, 2022 #281 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hi, just been catching up with your very informative thread Host Hattie since disembarking the QV last Friday. Thank you also for the lovely pics and pleased to learn that you did get ashore at some ports. So sorry to read that your hubby’s onboard experience was so disrupted and hope you are both fit and well now. We enjoyed our cruise and the great weather certainly helped, two sunny sea days en route home…that was a bonus. 🌞🌞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted October 10, 2022 Author #282 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Thank you, it's good to know that you had a good time. The weather on the last 2 days certainly helped to improve my mood ! Have you had a questionnaire yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petulia Posted October 10, 2022 #283 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hi HH, no we haven’t had a questionnaire as yet. From memory they used to arrive pretty soon after embarking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it another couple of days and then I'll have to let Cunard have my feedback another way ...... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techteach Posted October 10, 2022 #285 Share Posted October 10, 2022 @Host Hattie I have shared your trip with my DH, and last night he said, “Can you find a video of this ship you want to sail on? Which Queen?” We watched several videos on You Tube and we both think we need to find a QV cruise. He was amazed at the number of sold out cabins and now understands why we need to start thinking about 2025. Thank you again for all of your posts. They have helped my cause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, having just completed a QV cruise, I have to say we found the ship in very good order after its revamp visits to Belfast and Tyneside earlier this year. Brand new thick carpets in many areas provided excellent soundproofing especially between decks (cabins) and hallways. There seemed no shortage of staff who were always pleasant and hard working. All very neat and shipshape! 😄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibabacruisers Posted October 25, 2022 #289 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Thank you, Hattie for posting your experiences on QV! I must agree with others that you have a great attitude and persevered through a lot! I am glad you and your husband made it through what sounds like a difficult time on your cruise. Like the OP said, I think we need to look for a cruise on QV in the near future! Thank you so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted October 26, 2022 Author #290 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad it encouraged you to try Queen Victoria, I hope you find a cruise that suits you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Windsurfboy Posted October 28, 2022 #291 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Host Hattie,I see you mentioned Bealieu , did you use park and stay at Montague Arms. We usually stay at their sister hotel Carey's Manor, but they've stop advertising their park and cruise package. We're you happy with Montague arms.

Host Hattie Posted October 28, 2022 Author #292 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Yes we did, we've stayed there 3 times pre- cruise and we'd do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronpes Posted October 31, 2022 #294 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Hi, HH Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to keep everyone informed during your cruise. It is much appreciated. Sorry it didn’t quite go to plan but I guess that is the risk we now all take when traveling. I have been on a cruise at the same time as you (although on a different line) and unfortunately my wife and I also ended up in isolation for a spell until we tested negative and got the all clear. We were then fortunately allowed to continue with our cruise. I was very interested in your review and comments as although we are booked to sail on QM2 next year, we are actively looking at sailing on the QV in 2024.

Host Hattie Posted October 31, 2022 Author #295 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Thanks, we accepted the risk but I was disappointed that the terms changed after we booked so no FCC or compulsory pre-cruise testing. I also didn't expect to be so restricted after I tested negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was very disappointed about how restricted you were, and you had to argue with them to be released even when you were, as I remember.

Host Hattie Posted November 24, 2022 Author #297 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Just a quick update, I've just had confirmation from our travel insurance company that the payment for cabin confinement is on the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
