bluemarble Posted January 4 #1 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Now that the dress code and theme schedules have been posted for QA, I'll start creating a master "Queen Anne 2024 Dress Code and Theme Schedule" document. And now that additional 2024 schedules have been posted for QE, I'll add to what I already have for QE. If you are on a QA voyage or on a QE voyage departing March 10, 2024 or later, please let me know what you are seeing for your dress code and theme schedule in the daily calendar section of your booking in My Cunard. I've created this separate thread to help generate some initial activity for this topic since many of you on QA or later QE voyages may not have noticed your schedules have been posted in your My Cunard calendars. I'll start things off here by quoting what @TowandaUK posted in the "Dress Code and Theme Schedules for 2024" sticky for QA. Feel free to post what you find either here or on that other thread. "Queen Anne, 14 nights, May 10th to the Canaries. 3 gala nights May 11th Black and White May 16th Masquerade May 21st Roaring 20s." As you see, what I need to know are the dates of your voyage, which dates will be Gala Evenings, and what the themes (if any) will be on those evenings. I'll assume all other evenings are Smart Attire. Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide for this project of mine to document the dress code and theme schedules for QA and QE.

QA H502 Jan 5-7 2025 Southampton to Hamburg Jan 8: Gala Evening (NB: this is not branded as Gala Optional, unlike my equivalent V402 voyage this weekend) On QV this past Halloween, there were a few people in costume for the masquerade theme. I did see a fair number of Halloween sweaters and t-shirts during the day, though. The few kids on board had costumes. One boy told everyone in the elevator that it was his birthday, and he was 10. "And Dad is 41." I'm sure Dad was thrilled with that tidbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wear Venetian or Mardi Gras style masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted January 5 Author #19 Share Posted January 5 I've learned there has been a very recent change to the theme for the Gala Evening scheduled on QE for January 25, 2024. Instead of the previously scheduled Masquerade theme, that evening is now scheduled with Burns Night as the theme. That's a return to one of the themes routinely scheduled on world voyages in the past. Good to see they are adding at least a little variety to the themes being scheduled. This may be the first departure from the standard themes (Black & White, Red & Gold, Masquerade, Roaring Twenties, plus Ice White on QE Alaska) since they scheduled an Oliviers Gala during the 2022 London Theatre at Sea crossing on QM2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with a simple "gala evening." Jan 24 2025 is "gala" on QA. Jan 25 is another sea day. Maybe they'll add a Robert Burns night for that cruise. As long as eating haggis isn't compulsory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
