That’s a shame, I wonder what the delay was? currently waiting to board, no one has been allowed on the ship yet.

Enjoy! It’s a lovely city and very possible to get around the city by walking or getting the metro

Thanks for keeping us up to date with your travels @rakkor, thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog each day! Cannot wait to be on board on Friday! I was wondering if anyone on board will know if the four Ds will be staying on for the next cruise? We saw them last March and then again in May on QE and QM2 and thought they were brilliant!

No shorts after 6pm, but jeans are fine! I’ve included the golden lion dinner sample menu as well 🙂

Looks like you are enjoying your cruise! just wanted to mention if you don’t want to dress up on gala nights but want to avoid the Lido, I believe you can dine in the golden lion for dinner 🙂 The menu has more options than lunch (not many!), and you do not have to dress up. Enjoy the QE, she is a lovely ship.

Morning @rakkor, I’m really enjoying reading your blogs each day, sounds like you are both enjoying yourselves! I use an app on my phone called ‘CamScanner’ when I need to scan a document etc but no scanner around. It’s not brilliant, but it does the job 🙂

Thank you so much, it’s perfect 🙂 @rakkor what’s the temperature like inside the ship? And what’s weather like on deck?

Thank you very much @rakkor, do not worry about quality, just interested in seeing it! But you have done a brilliant job on the pdf files for the other programmes, well done! glad you enjoyed the gala night, yes I think I’ve heard those type of chocolates can be bad for me 🤔 I’m sure Jane is just doing what’s best for you of course!

Enjoying the blog posts Rakkor and you’ve made my day with posting the daily programmes! Getting me excited for QV’s 20th october cruise! I hope you both are having a lovely time! @rakkor could I ask to see the full daily programme for embarkation day please? (If not too much trouble of course!)

They will still need the fliers for the short cruises of less than 5 nights, so not wasted 🙂

I never trust what Cunard say, just hope they actually announce this officially before 12 September so I can make a decision before any increases!

I have heard from Cunard today that the $90 is for sailings under 5 nights if purchased onboard, or $85 if purchased on myCunard before sailing. This has apparently gone live onboard QE on 17th August and will be available from 30th August. QM2 from 1st September and then 15th September for QV. For sailings 5 nights and more there will be no change. And they apparently do not know where the 12th September has come from. I think I may just purchase my drinks package for next September just incase, but it’s a lot of money that I had not planned for yet.

Thanks to all for sharing the predicated itineraries for QM2, QV and QA! Is it possible to do the same for QE please?

Have to say the Britannia is definitely struggling atm (at least I have noticed). We had opted for open dining as I have never experienced it and have to say it is useless. Have booked a table for 8pm each night and found out today that means nothing. queued outside deck 3 entrance for 30 minutes today before being seated. Table we were given was not fully set up, took 15 minutes to be given our glasses of water, 30 minutes before offered any drinks from the sommelier. It was the black and white ball and we were offered a glass of sparkling which was welcomed though. Even breakfast was chaotic which I have not found before! Apparently people queuing for up to an hour for lunch today! We luckily opted for carinthia lounge for some light options and then afternoon tea (which spilled into the restaurant, had not seen this before!). Also bread rolls seem different as well. The Ship seems exceptionally warm and hour stateroom has not cooled down since we have been here yesterday. wifi is great everywhere apart from the stateroom, which is actually fine! We are having a great time but things have changed!

Of course, I do believe it has been smooth for many people embarking today, which always starts the holiday off nicely.
