NSWP Posted October 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2022 OK, serious question will the Queens Grill class on the Cunarders be renamed Kings Grill? What say ye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted October 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I think not. We've had a Kings Court on QM2 even though there was a queen on the throne. I find it interesting how many hits I get when I google "Kings Grill" from people who thought that was the name of the Kings Court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted October 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Why should they as they are all on ships named after a Queen and they aren't not going to change them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted October 6, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) OK, so next Cunard ship...'King Charles? Or perhaps Queen Camilla, lol. Edited October 6, 2022 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Colin_Cameron Posted October 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2022 No, because it is the Queens Grill because it is named after the original two Cunard Queens. Whereas it is the Queen's Room because it is named after the Queen (which Queen depends on which ship you are on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next Cunard ship is going to be Queen Anne, I think the one after that might be a long time coming! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Not Camilla, she’s Queen Consort, not regnant. How about Alinor/Eleanor of Aquitaine? Now, there was a great lady…. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare carolina_yankee Posted October 7, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2022 If Cunard is going to stick with Queens, they are going to have a small fleet with names recycled to successors. I like the idea of Eleanor of Aquitaine, but I might find a cruise on Queen (Lady) Jane a bit brief and possibly heading nowhere. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passenger ships are often thought of in the feminine sense, so, no King Charles. A new Royal Navy warship? Quite likely to be named HMS King Charles, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techteach Posted October 8, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I agree with @Host Hattie that it will be a long time before there is another Cunard ship. They need to get the QA into the water and filled with passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the Lady Jane Grey would have to do endless 7 nighters to Norway and back from Southampton as more than 9 nights would not be appropriate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
