bluemarble Posted October 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2023 It looks like Cunard have started posting the dress code and theme schedules for 2024 voyages. One again this year I'd like to take on the project of compiling master dress code and theme schedule documents for each of the Cunard ships. To do so, I'm going to need your help to tell me what you are seeing for the dress code and themes on your 2024 voyages. You should be able to see that now within the Day Calendar section of your voyage in My Cunard. If you are booked on a 2024 voyage, please let me know which ship you will be on, the dates of your voyage, which dates are scheduled as Gala Evenings and what the themes (if any) will be on those Gala Evenings. To illustrate, I'll start with what I've learned so far. Please post what you are seeing for your 2024 voyages in a reply to this thread. From @maggielou362: QM2, Feb 17-Feb 27, 2024 (voyage M405, Fremantle to Sydney) Feb 18: Black and White Feb 22: Gala Evening (no theme) Feb 25: Roaring Twenties From my voyages: QM2, June 15-June 23, 2024 (voyage M417, Eastbound Crossing) June 16: Black and White June 21: Roaring Twenties QM2, June 23-June 29, 2024 (voyage M418, Westbound Crossing) June 24: Red and Gold June 27: Masquerade Just as an aside, I see they've changed the standard schedule for QM2 crossings from previous years on my two crossings. The first gala evening used to be Red and Gold on eastbound crossings and the first gala evening used to be Black & White on westbound crossings. They've switched those themes around on my two June 2024 crossings. It will be interesting to learn if that same pattern holds for the other 2024 crossings as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be Red & Gold and Roaring Twenties on eastbound crossings with Black & White and Masquerade on westbound crossings. The reply I received from @BWV shows their schedule as Black & White and Roaring Twenties on a westbound crossing as well. Perhaps my June roundtrip crossing is just an anomaly with those themes reversed (Black & White and Roaring Twenties eastbound and Red & Gold and Masquerade westbound). Time will tell I suppose as I receive more input from others about their crossings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell Boy Posted October 26, 2023 #12 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Time is over due for Cunard to introduce new Gala Evening Themes ! Enough of this Roaring 20's nonsense , just an excuse for some gentlemen to bring down the dressing up box from the loft. Trilby hats and the Gangster look is childish and ridiculous, how about "Red Carpet & Hollywood Glam" . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Pushpit Posted October 26, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I have several short hops SOU-HAM which agree with the posts above, with the comment that QM2 May 14-May 16, 2024 (Voyage M412A Hamburg - Southampton) has no formal night. In addition QM2 August 4-August 6, 2024 (Voyage M423C Southampton - Hamburg) August 5 Gala Evening (no theme) (optional) QE October 16-October 18, 2024 (Voyage Q430E Melbourne - Sydney) Dress code will be shown later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to put something in the field. Plus in all likelihood your disembarkation day will be a Smart Attire evening for the next cruise. They are probably populating that field with the scheduled dress code for that date even though you won't be on board that evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting that first Black and White gala evening to be on July 22, the second evening of your crossing (which is how it's usually scheduled), not the third evening, especially since yours is one of the shortened 6-night crossings.

Thank you..... That's very interesting that they've posted some of the 2025 dress code schedules already. Your voyage does appear to be a bit sparse on the gala evenings with only two instead of the more typical three for a 14-night voyage. Will want to see if that's going to be the trend toward fewer gala evenings during 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
