Host Hattie

And that's another dress code thread finished. Thank you for your contributions, I'm sure there will be another one along soon.

Only on Smart Attire evenings. I really wish the Dress Code was clear, then we wouldn't need to keep having this discussion. Hopefully the OP had his question answered several pages ago.

Yes, lunch is served in both Grills restaurants on embarkation day.

It's not removable.

Yes, that's fine.

From the Cunard website - Question Is there a transfer between ships when I am travelling on back to back cruises on different ships? Answer Yes, if you are travelling on back to back cruises and you require a transfer between Cunard ships in Southampton we will arrange this for you if it is on the same day. Full details will be provided on board.

That sounds like a different situation, if the OP is able to book their mother into the QG cabin, she will be able to dine in QG. @e&mcruise I have no idea how this would work but a Travel Agent or Cunard direct should be able to advise. It's good to hear that you want to return to Cunard after your first experience.

Probably shipyard PPE rules

For Bath to London there are photos of both train carriage types here. First Class has more space.

Exciting times, thanks for posting.

I think this is Tokyo, Japan

Thank you, fingers crossed there's still time to get to Walvis Bay.

Thanks for the update, has the Captain said when you are likely to leave ?

Your question seems to have caused a discussion about travel insurance, I'm not sure that's what you had in mind. What do you want to know ? As far as I know the party unable to travel will be marked as a No show but there will be no refund from Cunard. The other party can travel as a single occupant of the booked cabin. (This is not from personal experience just from my reading of these boards)

If you're not interested in Queen Mary 2, you could try the Transatlantic, Trans-pacific, Repositioning Cruises board.

Thanks for the on site report @Devonport D

It's being reported on a Live from on the Viking board that one of their ships is still docked in Cape Town so Queen Victoria is still waiting for her parking spot.

So not a very reliable source or they changed their minds.

This section of the Cunard website has lots of information Accessibility on board

Thank you for the first hand report @ChrisMV.

Room service will be delivered by a different member of staff each time so waiting until the end probably won't work.

This is a few years ago but these are my notes from a 2 day trip to Zeebrugge in QG.

No, they are added to your on board account.

Especially if you finish the first one quickly!

Enjoy your trip. Last time we were on for a short cruise, it was only 1 bottle of spirits/wine which is OK if you like the same thing!
