Josephine Ellis Posted February 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I am a recreational mahjong player - does the Queen Elizabeth carry mahjong sets, and/or offer organised mahjong sessions? I am doing a Singapore to Japan cruise in April 23 and would love some mahjong games, but my set is waaaay too heavy to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted February 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2023 mahjong ! No I'm afraid unlike the bridge tournaments Cunard don't offer offer mahjong sessions (unlike Seabourn) However, I have occasionally noticed guests getting together with other like minded folk and arranging their own sessions. It's very easy to arranged an un hosted mahjong session , the entertainment department will place a notice in the onboard daily program for you to meet up with other passengers who may interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Ellis Posted February 15, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Thank you - do you know if they actually have mahjong sets on board? Full-size sets are quite heavy to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted February 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm afraid I don't . I'll try and find out for you as I have friends and family onboard QM2 at the moment . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full-size sets are quite heavy to pack. I have a set and yes, mine's heavy too. Mind you, the cobwebs around it might have added to the weight! 🙂 Could I make a suggestion? Little Fish is presently sailing QE. Why not pose a question to her on the QE Hull Cleaning thread? She might be able to ask ''someone'' for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josephine Ellis Posted February 16, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Wonderful - I hope they are the “Western” ones that have the numbers on the tiles, and not just the Chinese characters - I can manage 1-3 but get lost above that. Similarly with the NSEW winds. I can look forward to some fun mahjong time now 👍. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
