I did it!

I finally booked the QM2 for TA August 9th-15th!

 

My six year old son and I are going to be returning to the US via Queen Mary 2. I have a couple questions...

 

1. Are there still dance hosts on board?

 

2. Do I need ballgowns for a TA?

Congratulations, Rebeccalouise and welcome to Cunard. How wonderful that you have booked the TA in August.

 

1. Yes, I believe there are still dance hosts on board. At least they were there when I last sailed in October. We spoke with several of them and they were such interesting men.

 

2. A TA is a very formal cruise. You will definitely need formal attire.

 

Enjoy planning your TA. If you have additional questions, you should be able to get answers on this board.

Congratulations - on finally making your mind up and on making the booking.

 

imacruizer has answered your questions - and a search on this forum for dress codes on TAs will keep you bored - sorry, busy for weeks!

 

What finally made you take the plunge to book with Cunard and 2-time Celebrity?

I am divorced and it isn't possible for me to do the two week TAs offered by Celebrity because they are during the school year and I wouldn't dream of cruising without my son, Marc.

 

So this summer, my father is treating my son and I to a 12 days Meditteranean cruise on the Millenium. I have been watching the prices for the QM2 for a while and finally decided that a balcony stateroom was affordable for the August 5th TA. It just made sense for us to seize the opportunity since we were already in Europe.

 

I am really excited about it and cancelled a Caribbean cruise that I booked for over Spring break of 2008- have decided this is money better spent.

[rebeccalouise]

Woops- I meant August 9th TA. We get off the Millenium on August 5th (that's why the confustion).

(that's why the confustion).

 

Confustion can be a very dangerous thing if you're not careful!!!

 

Enjoy the pre-trip excitement. I think that it can be (in some weird way) almost as good as being on board - and afterwards you get to look back on your fantastic voyage, building more anticipation for the next one and then 'POP', you've burst with excitement !

 

Just remember to come back and tell us why you made the right decision (or, dare I say it.... not...):p

...dance hosts (or whatever the term is). My wife and I watched them once and it was great to see how excited they were about the chance to dance.

 

ENJOY!

I adore ballroom dancing and it will be a great way to travel across the Atlantic! I am getting more excited all the time:) :) :)
