We promise Good Weather for You!........lol.... Sure. Actually, I don’t mind one day of rough and tumble to be amazed how QM2 handles it all. Best for your voyage too - no smoke from Canadian fires! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exlondoner Posted June 10, 2023 Author #29 Share Posted June 10, 2023 You’re just doing that to make me jealous. 🙂 Are you going to do a separate thread on aspects of your cruise? How’s the rust? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted June 10, 2023 #30 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I haven't decided yet, to be honest I thought she looked pretty good as we arrived at Mayflower terminal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to be interesting and helpful. It gave air temps, sea temps, weather info for the next port, wave height, wind speed over deck, how far we had travelled, how far to next port, how far to Soton. It had some helpful maps of varying scales. Now, none of these. Why?

We are just off Queen Elizabeth got good information of our TV screen and a detailed map was on deck 10, Captain Howarth gave midday information how far we had traveled etc then first or second officer would give out weather information. Before each port on the daily programme was the weather forecast. Yokohama to Vancouver there was not too may ships to be seen but on one occasion a small cruise ship came close enabling me to ring the front desk and get all its details.

I am pleased to hear it is only QV that is so grotty. There are websites like Vesselfinder that tell you what passing ships are, probably someone in the Purser’s uses it too. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
