Mudhen Posted July 15 #1 Share Posted July 15 We will be leaving on the QM2 on the 27th and received an email stating that the Princess Grill will be closed for breakfast starting on the 14th. We'll have breakfast in La Veranda. Not worried or concerned at all, but we're curious as to just what are they doing in the restaurant. We will have lunch and dinner in there as usual. Does anyone know what's going on in there? Perhaps someone who's on board now? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leyland1989 Posted July 19 #5 Share Posted July 19 Every ship requires constant maintenance, let alone a 20 years old liner running non-stop 24 hrs a day almost everyday. During our last crossing, there were several contractors onboard working on fixtures and carpeting. One day the alleyway on deck 3L (or 2L) were closed and the next day there were new carpet. I'd assume it's just for regular cleaning/maintenance. Most ships have those job done on a port day but QM2 doesn't have that many "off hours" to carryout the work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted July 21 #6 Share Posted July 21 I’ve just disembarked QM2 today, and on one late night promenade stroll (Wednesday?) we noticed there maintenance going on near one window in PG. There were panels removed, pipes exposed and big ladders in use. This work involved at least three staff and we wondered if it had been fixed for the next morning. Peeping in we could see work still in progress the next day. We didn’t check on any other days. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudhen Posted July 21 Author #7 Share Posted July 21 Thank you for this info. Cunard alerted us via email that we’ll be having breakfast in the veranda. No problemo….haha! All other meals will (supposedly) be unaffected.We’ll deal with whatever comes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen@stoneyard.co.uk Posted July 22 #8 Share Posted July 22 I might be remembering incorrectly. Was some work being done to cans on the deck above. Cabins were taken out of service after the refit. Was that the same area on deck 8? Best wishes, Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberal_Baggie Posted July 23 #9 Share Posted July 23 There are new cabins on deck 8 I think a trial strip out and replacement for what I think they would like to do in 2026. Just a guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
