They are

On another site someone has reported that alcohol prices onboard QV have increased and corkage up from $20 to $25 due the the drop in the £.

 

Is this correct. On QM2 last month the corkage was still a very fair $20.

I suspect that post that you saw was from someone who is confusing Spanish V.A.T which is added when in Spanish waters

The 2 Ships are completely different the Q.M2 is a real Liner and is very confusing to those that have Not Sailed on her as she is built completely different to any ship that you will ever go on, Now the Q.V even though Cunard insist that she is a Liner in reality she is a Cruise ship and is much easier to find your way round easer for your Mother I recommend Balcony Stateroom Midships on deck 5 or above .

Reference my earlier post, The use of the word World implies that everyone that is a member of the World Club will need to update their details no matter of where they may be

The reason could be the Email Cunard sent me asking me to update my preference's on the World Club site. All members have to update otherwise your cruise history will be lost and you will lose any World Club benefits and you will start again at Red Band level

 

 

 

You will have 3 Formal nights so not completely informal as you believe.

You will have a Long wait, Bag drop starts at 10.30 and they start boarding at 11.30/12.00

Never seen a Double bunk bed on any Cunard ship. Upgrade the cabin to at least save the money already spent as she will not get her money back

Have you booked a Adapted Cabin as normal cabins do not allow access as the doors are to narrow for chairs that do not fold down and their are steps into the bathroom. Queens Grill cabins doors are wide enough & you can turn a chair in Q.G rooms which you can not do in a normal cabin. Disabled passengers & accompanying Adults have priority boording

Queen Victoria

On the Q,V last month and my wife smokes and I do not she Is a Wheelchair user. Now there is a notice that Cigarette users are not allowed You have the whole of the starboard side of deck 10 for Cigarette users, But they do allow them to use Churchill's in foul weather as Churchill's although close to the Commodore Club is not n anyway part of it. As for dress code its the same as the Commodore Club Formal on formal Nights and Informal on informal nights, Don't fret of smelling of smoke between 20%/30% of people smoke that's 600/700 on-board.

This is a question just to cigar smokers please.

 

I am limiting my formal and informal dining clothing to a black suit, One. I am looking forward to some smoking, port sipping, and conversation in that lounge, after dinner. But if I wear my suit in there it will stink for the rest of the trip unless I use the expidited dry cleaning every time I smoke. OR..... Can you show up in smart casual wear anytime. I will have lots of sets of those clothes. What have you seen on previous cruises

 

Please no non-cigar smokers.... what happens in the cigar room stays in the cigar room!

I was surprised that the Coffee card has changed Now its $8.50 per day for all hot drinks as many as you like. You get a sticker on your room card saying hot drinks Just like you get for the soft drinks package.

If a table for 2 is a must ,Why pay a saver fare as your requests will be at the bottom of the list as for confirmation all Cunard are doing is confirming that they have your requests not that your request is granted, Why not try

Thank you for your candor.

I was concerned about some of those items as well.

We are working on ameliorating our situation as this was not our dream for a cruise booked over 18 months ago. A regular Club would have been perfect as we had booked A-1.The problem is that they have oversold this cruise.

There was only Guarantee available at that time but we were certain that the situation would correct itself and we would get the A-1 Club eventually.

2.5 wardrobe not a problem for a mini cruise, but for 93 days with formal clothing demands is not going to be easy.

Thanks again.

It is a A1 Club cabin you also have a Self Serve launderette not very far away

Resurrecting this thread as I have just discovered that we have been assigned QE 8092 for our upcoming 95 day World Voyage. I am surprised as I would have thought that in the 95 days, this cabin would have been needed by someone with need.

Have we struck gold, or have we ended up in a cabin with little storage and furniture, but a large bathroom and balcony? Is the "wet room" aspect going to result in our having wet feet whenever we use the bathroom? Is there any storage in the bathroom? How about for 95 days worth of clothing?

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on these questions.

Just had a mini cruise in this cabin Faults are 2.5 wardrobe's no sofa TV at a angle that 2 people can not see it from the bed the cabin is noisy as the entrance door needs to be refitted as there are gaps all the way round that lets in light and noise get the Steward to explain how to plug the kettle in and the ramp bar works, Good points its a Club cabin very nice ,Very handy 1 flight of stairs to the lido 2 flights to deck 10 and the outside, Very close to Commodore club and Pavilion pool Large balcony 2 reclining chairs but only 1 sunbed, Draws under the bed and under the T.V unit and on the side of the Bed and Dressing Table the cabin is about the same size as a Q3 Cabin

Just of this short trip cruise just to put the record straight we set sail at 20.00 for a mystery cruise down to the Channel Islands , Then the next day ( Saturday)was a Sea day and Zeebruger was intended for the Sunday but this was canaled as the Port Harbour Master told the Captain that the conditions where to bad to Dock and Undock , In my Opinion the Captain had no say in the Matter as the Port would Not let us Dock, Now the weather conditions where Known 5 Days before we Sailed so why did Cunard not go to Zeebruger on the Saturday when the weather was fine & there was space to dock instead of just sailing up and down the Channel, Cunard made the wrong by Decision not changing the day Result a lot of very irate passenger's.

Apple products although Cunard use them on all 3 ships they no longer sell the product.

The dress codes are also being hardened up No more Football shirts track suits after 18.00 see here https://ask.pocruises.com/help/po/life-on-board/dress_code_all

Luggage drop starts at 10.30 so that's when the doors open.

Found this on a UK T/As Website may be of use to sum

 

.

The procedure for wheelchair users is as follows1st contact Cunard and tell them that you have a wheelchair user in your party, Cunard will then send you a form to complete fill it in and post it back to Cunard, 2nd when you arrive at the terminal (Ocean terminal ) go up in the Lift get out and on the left hand side you will see a set of seats & a Cunard person who will look at there list of names then you will be allotted a attendant who will take you to the disabled check in desk once you are checked in you will be taken by the attendant onbord right behind the grills the attendant will even take you right to your cabin if you want. Now Disembarking at the end of the Voyage is different speak to the Purser who will give you a Time & place to be to have assisted Disembarkation.

Hi , we're new to cruising, had a P&O suite first time suite nice but no other benefits, so attracted by Queens Grill.

 

I noticed that Princess and Queens grills dinner menus on cunard web site were identical. I asked cunard customer service if this was a mistake or was queens grill the best culinary experience. The answer was all cunard food is great whatever dinning room, but queen's grills have butlers. Have we made a mistake in booking queens grill?

NO you have not made a mistake yet!! But if you don't book QG you will, The Grills have the best accommodation and service far superior than anything that P&O has to offer.

Well chair users and their careers have priority boarding just after the Grills board,

From Midships Forward you should have no problem, Why do you see so many Smokers well Cunard have customer's from all over the world where 30/60 % of People smoke
