Another Live from thread - Queen Victoria Greek Islands
exlondoner replied to rakkor's topic in Cunard Line
I had a thread in the summer complaining that the QV navigation channel didn’t give enough information, but at least it always had us in roughly the right place. -
Very interesting.
-
It rapidly became academic as I caught Covid and was grounded.
-
On the round UK cruise in May, I was told it was is just Q1-2. When I pointed out that it said Q1-4 in the brochure, they said they would honour it. But for new cruises, no doubt the brochure is changed.
-
Most people would say you are being extremely charitable. Never mind, they are much better at ships.

I think two of those front QG cabins do in fact have balconies at the side. It is only the two Q3s in the middle that are without. -
Absolutely. I’m surprised nobody has blamed Cunard for the storm yet. 🙂
-
Also it makes a bit of a difference whether they are immediately fished out and slightly soggy or lost forever in the storm.
-
What a good idea. It could be the start of a series: Lina, Rival, Clan, Clara, Lava. You can make all sorts of words and pronounceable non-words from it.

It must have been a very tiring day. Hope you can relax and recover today. -
Oh dear me. What are Cunard doing - or not doing?
-
Not that I mind made up names, as such.
-
A Carnival press release and a site about what to call your babies. Neither of them Oxford Classics experts, I suspect. 🙂
-
Yes, they gave that derivation, though I’m not sure it is normal for the Romans to go round sticking random letter ‘i’s in words like that in second declension plurals.
-
But don’t you get champagne and chocs?
-
Is Cunard deemed responsible rather than the employers of the dock workers?
-
Apparently Arvia means from the seashore, which seems fair enough, though it’s not a Latin word I’ve ever come across, nor has Lewis and Short’s Dictionary. So probably late Latin.
-
I don’t think they often make announcements. I have occasionally heard announcements from the Purser’s Office in a variety of accents.
-
If by PH you mean Penthouse, I would go for a Q4, unless walking is a real trial. Q3s are near the lifts, and slightly larger, but I have never really noticed the size difference. Oh, and the view from the balcony is better because they are on the bit that sticks out. But I don’t think any of that is worth paying more for.
-
Though the last two captains I’ve had were US and Irish, and my next will probably be Danish, so British accents aren’t by any means invariable.
-
16 nights QG $600 per cabin, it seems. Which just about covers hotel and dining.
-
You can arrange an automatic wake-up call on the phone.
-
The same happened last year, so I doubt there is anything sinister. More likely they haven't quite got their Alaska programme sorted.
-
And tuxedos.

As to the British aspects, this is clearly something US passengers notice, for me, from the UK, I notice how American it seems.
