QM2 -Getting on and Off

[canoncruiser]

I disembarked from QM2 this morning. I do not know how things were reorganized,  but my embarkation in Southampton and disembarkation this morning went very smoothly and efficiently .  No long frustrating lines in the Mayflower Terminal nor on the ship this morning. Hooray to Cunard for this vast improvement. Immigration also went with some speed. I was advised to disembark at 9:30 which I did,  and I was in my car driving home by 10:15.  😂

That's good to hear, I hope you had an enjoyable crossing

We are also on the QM2. We were on a six hour tour yesterday ‘Christmas in New York’. The disembarkation and re boarding was swift and very well organised by the Red Hook people. We were kept separate from the passengers disembarking at the end of their cruise. We went through separate Passport checks (10 minute wait) and the same on our return.  So quick and efficient. We were expecting huge queues, but we were kept moving by several friendly helpful people directing us and wishing us a Happy Christmas.😄

Disembarkation was a breeze! I hope embarkation in June is just as easy. Super friendly and helpful people at every step.

We were also in the disembarkation group last Thursday. Having purchased QG (our year to splurge), we were in the 8:00 AM group for departure. We arrived at the gangway at about five or six minutes after 8 and were in the taxi leaving for JFK by 8:40. Never had a better experience in Brooklyn…well, at least not arriving into the cruise terminal there.
