We've got 2 30 inch Enkloze, a Samsonite 32inch and a Enkloze 28 inch, plus 2 cabin cases as well. Its more the height from the carpet to the bed base and whether these cases of ours will fit. From the photo's above I think it will be tight. Thanks.

Thanks that would be appreciated. Sounds like they are Euro Plugs, so I'll have to get 2 of them if so, then I can hook up a power board to them and we'll be all good.

Speaking of luggage, can large suitcases fit under the King Size or Twin Beds. We're on a long oversea's journey of several countries, different climates, so we may have 4 Large Suitcases plus 2 Cabin as well. Hope to fit them all into our Balcony Cabin.

Out of interest and need, what type of power plug are the bedside table lamps on the Queen Elizabeth. For CPAP. Thanks

Decades ago I did exchange with the US Navy, being Aussie the Americans had a slight problem with our slang that we used when on the Tactical Net 🤣

Just rechecked indeed we have been charged the US $67.50 which is a bit cheaper for us poor Aussies 🙂

The Cunard drink package for beer, wine, spirits and other drinks is currently US $70 per day (cruises over 5 days). The 39 night cruise between Japan, Alaska and Canada, May June 24, comes to US $5460 for 2 people. That comes to Australian $8,353 presently given our Aussie is only worth some US 65 cents presently. That's a pretty hefty sum of money and one where you really have to think about value for your dollar at $107 Australian per day per person. Still by the time you've had a couple of wines or beers, 3-4 spirits, 3 coffee's, some soft drink and/or water you'd be close to that US 70 or AUD 107 especially if you include the 15% Grat per drink if you don't do the package.

Well if its accurate and reliable I'll use it. Has to be better than queuing up......Thanks.

While in various parts of Alaska and British Columbia, what is the best type of Walking Boot to wear? High Cut, Mid Cut or Low Cut?

Have Cunard updated their IT shipboard systems enough to show your cabin account on the television? No more having to go to the Reception or Purser's Office to see what you've spent.

The last time we cruised Cunard was the 2014 World Cruise. Back then no drinks package, you paid for everything. From memory if you had 5-6 wine or spirits, 2-3 coffee's and a couple of soft drinks or waters per day, it added up significantly plus the 15% grat. So if one was to do the same today and we will be shortly on the QE, it makes good sense to take the package unless one of you in the cabin doesn't drink.

Yep and that's what we've just brought, stunning, will have to be extremely careful bringing them on the aircraft and then on to the ship et al.

Sounds excellent. We're in 7136 in just a few weeks.

A White Dinner Jacket is perfect for Ice White. White Bowtie though not Black 😀

Have to say as a former Royal Australian Navy Officer so I will be using a Cumberbund because that's RAN and RN tradition. I'm lucky I've got both Black and White Dinner Suits, so I'm covered for Ice White, Roaring 20's, Black & White, Masquerade. The Red Gold night, I'm good also. More of a question is what do the ladies wear on these nights if they wish to go formal?

Thanks One and All, We're doing a Japan, Alaska, Canada cruise from May through June, so we'll be crossing the Pacific as well. I note the map shows no availability in South Korea or Taiwan presently but they are only on our cruise for a day each. Its more important that I can access VOIP while out at sea or if VOIP is unavailable at least receive emails. Nice to see China, Russia and North Korea all Blacked Out.

Hi Guys, Can one utilise their Whats App VOIP while using Queen Elizabeths WiFi? Thanks

Just how reliable and quick is the QE Wifi onboard? Is it Starlink or some other sort of Sat Comm? Does Cunard offer better discounted wifi packages than what they show on their website? Thanks.

Can you buy Masquerade Masks on the QE for the Masquerade Gala Evening? If so, what is the cost and is there a reasonable range for purchase? Thanks

Has anyone got a current copy of the Azamara Journey Reserve Wine List???? Not the drinks or the wine packages. Would appreciate it if possible, as we're doing the Christmas Cruise on the Journey year's end.

Thanks people, looks like absolutely nothing has changed for this since we last cruised Cunard.

Its been a while since we last cruised with Cunard. Back then your Cruise Account had to be gotten from Reception if you wanted to track it. Now given modern IT, I assume that the Flatscreen TV in our Balcony Cabin will show our respective cruise accounts or does one still have to see Reception for this???

Be careful with what is required here in Australia folks. The State Governments of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria have all said ALL cruise lines and their ships must have vaccinated passengers and testing requirements in place. The bulk of cruises leaving Australian ports are from Queensland (Brisbane), New South Wales (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne). South Australia (Adelaide) and Western Australia (Perth) also have cruises leaving from time to time. Its the State Governments who set the Health Requirements for their respective States NOT the Federal Government. The only way really to check what is what is to check with Australian Government vaccination requirements regarding Covid. Don't get caught out thinking that you can arrive in Australia for a cruise unvaccinated. Read the below article from Cruise Passenger dated 14 April 2023 below: https://cruisepassenger.com.au/news/hundreds-join-debate-over-whether-unvaccinated-passengers-should-sail-in-australian-waters/

Thank you, off to get some US Australia Adapters, I'll grab the Euro Australia Adapter as well, you can never have enough power nowadays between phones, laptops et al.

I'm rusty with traveling overseas thanks to Covid. We're traveling on the Queen Elizabeth in 3 weeks time. What type of power points does the QE have in its balcony cabins??? Also are there any power points on either side of the bed. USB what type and where??? We're from Australia, our power point system is rather different to the rest of the world. Hence the need for a couple of adaptors. Many thanks for any advice.
