Please post some pictures and thoughts on the refit when you're on QM2.  Thanks.

I will do my best, just seen your also doing the Qm2 to the Caribbean next November like us.

Oh- seems I forgot to mention, all swimming pools get scraped to the sheer metall-  so totaly redone- from bottom up. That also needs to be done- I just saw the condition of the Polls on Deck 6 and 8 when they where closed and empthied out on the evening prior arriving in Hamburg.

Ugh- the mint green colour- if they would such an outlandish thing- QM2 should be renamed in

" Peppermint Twist 2" LOL.

I'm back on for the first cruise on the 16th November after the refit, so will have a good look round her to see what they have done.

Me too. Will be excited to see what’s what. 

[Underwatr]

I'll be on for 12 days beginning Nov 26 so I can address any remaining questions after folks disembark after the 16th.

An unofficial social media page has some images - the lifeboats have been removed and old carpeting has been ripped out.

YIKES! That is a really bad shade of green.

Not the Caronia green that I recall, which was a much lighter, less saturated shade.

QM2 is out on open waters for dea trials. Looks like she will be ready for next cruise.

At the QEII terminal as well, it's been a while since I've seen her alongside there. 

[Luv2Crus40]

So happy she's all set for next cruise.  Bon Voyage!

On the other hand, while those in Q5/6s don’t have shower curtains, they don’t have walk-in showers either.

I have no idea if Kings Court has new furniture 

[ace2542]

Please say the chart room is remaining?

Is that even feasible? Safety glass is heavy, and times 1300 rooms that would potentially add a not inconsiderable amount of topside weight which the ship wasn't designed with in mind.

Seats and carpet look the same as when I was last on board, possibly the backrests have been refreshed?

[Underwatr]

Corridor! Corridor! 🙂
