The problem would appear to be corrosion in the funnel which contains the exhausts for the four diesel and two auxiliary gas turbine generators (which are only needed when QM2 is travelling at speed) and various ventilation exhausts. The two additional funnels at the stern are exhausts for the galley ventilation system and the onboard incinerators." “During the 2016 refit, QM2 was fitted with “exhaust gas scrubbers”. This cleans the emissions of the engines; it is of course especially relevant when cruising in areas of specific scientific interest (such as the Fjords, where she is due next month). From what I can gather (though don’t know for certain) these are situated inside the funnel. These areas get very hot when the engines are running, and have corroded to a point where significant repair/replacement is needed. The problem has been identified. There is a known fix, and it’s not especially complex but is a major job in duration terms. It cannot be done when engines are underway, hence the need for the unscheduled cancellation. “ https://shipandbunker.com/news/world/494161-flagship-cunard-cruise-ship-relaunched-after-scrubber-installations

No, all quiet, bar the chink of Champagne glasses.. When I was disembarked in Perth some years ago, we were exceptionally well looked after by Cunard. Future Cruise Credit was well appreciated plus a large check from my Insurance Company. At the end of the day QM2 is a slightly expensive passenger ferry that takes you between Southampton and New York. So, if the ferry is cancelled and you get your money back plus a 20% discount on a slightly rash future booking, then frankly you are ok. what happened to the dogs? A friend of mine air shipped his hounds and they passed away.

Chronic failure of the engine exhaust system in the funnel, so I am told from the bridge.

This afternoon, happy guests waved from the Britannia Restaurant.

Hi, all. I passed the ship today, she is beginning to look very sad and neglected. Rust streaks from all the balconies and the paintwork is a musty white. Some remaining passengers cheerful waved. Inside information is that this is quite a serious mechanical breakdown so may take some time to fix. Seriously sad.
